This research-based, highly practical volume presents ways teachers and schools can accelerate literacy achievement with bilingual K-6 students in both English and their home languages. Georgia Earnest Garcia shares innovative instructional strategies for students with different language backgrounds in multiple settings--bilingual/ESL classrooms, dual-language classrooms, or all-English classrooms. She explains key concepts, such as sheltered instruction and translanguaging, and discusses how the science of reading should be adapted for bilingual students. The book offers concrete ideas for conducting unbiased assessments and building core domains of L1 and L2 literacy, including oral language, reading, writing, and academic language and vocabulary. Utility is enhanced by guiding questions, helpful vignettes, and reproducible and downloadable forms.

With a combination of theory and practical activities, Garcia reminds us that by honoring our students' first languages, we can influence their development in a multilingual, multicultural environment."--Olga Velasquez Halpern, MEd, dual language educator, Champaign Unit 4 School District, Illinois

"I recommend this book for teachers who want to learn more about translanguaging and other culturally responsive instructional practices. The book draws on real-world experiences of educators in multiple settings serving bilingual learners today." --Lena Sacco, MEd, dual language educator, Urbana School District, Illinois-
