A much-needed resource for in-service professional development and preservice courses, 45 Strategies That Support Young Dual Language Learners will help Preschool/Kindergarten teachers foster the success of inclusive early childhood classrooms and prevent achievement gaps for dual language learners ages 3 to 5. --James A. Cox
This is exactly the type of information that early childhood professionals need in their training and professional development. It provides an impressive combination of practical and empirically-based recommendations. The writing style is impeccable and the information is presented in a thoughtful manner. --Sandra Barrueco, Ph.D.
