Two Kindergartners' Constructions of Literacy Learning in Spanish: A Challenge to Superficial Balanced Literacy Instruction.
Mulhern, Margaret M.
International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, v5 n1 p20-39 2002
Examines the literacy learning experiences of two children of Mexican descent becoming literate in their home language, Spanish. The children's experiences reveal problematic aspects of an instructional approach in which a teacher attempts to balance a traditional phonetic approach to teaching literacy with holistic literacy experience.
