Using Bilingual Books in Esl and Mainstreamed Classrooms

Curated by ACT

The authors explain strategies for using bilingual books to foster literacy development with ESL learners. They argue that the presence of books in other languages in the classroom library sends a clear message about the value of languages, scripts, and cultures in that classroom. They include a list of recommended publishers and resources for bilingual books.
