Our Review

This research-based guide offers preschool educators practical strategies for building strong language and literacy foundations in young English learners aged three to five. Theresa A. Roberts skillfully bridges educational theory with classroom-tested techniques, providing a comprehensive framework for developing vocabulary, phonological awareness, and early reading skills. The book addresses the unique developmental needs of dual language learners during these critical preschool years, when brain development is most receptive to language acquisition.

What distinguishes this resource is its focus on creating inclusive, language-rich environments where English learners can thrive while maintaining connection to their home languages. Early childhood educators will appreciate the specific, adaptable activities that support oral language development and emergent literacy skills through play, storytelling, and interactive reading. The approach recognizes that literacy development in young children is deeply connected to social-emotional growth and cultural responsiveness. This professional development tool ultimately empowers teachers to create classrooms where every preschooler's literacy potential can flourish.
