When Learning a Second Language Does Not Mean Losing the First: Bilingual Language Development in Low-Income, Spanish-Speaking Children Attending Bilingual Preschool.
Winsler, Adam; Diaz, Rafael M.; Espinosa, Linda; Rodriguez, James L.
Child Development, v70 n2 p349-62 Mar-Apr 1999
Two studies explored bilingual language-development outcomes of low-income, Spanish-speaking, Mexican-American children who did or did not attend a bilingual preschool. Found that children who attended bilingual preschools, compared to those remaining at home, showed significant and parallel gains in Spanish-language development and in English-language proficiency over time.
