The Literacy Development of Kindergarten English-Language Learners.
Araujo, Luisa
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v16 n2 p232-47 Spr-Sum 2002
This year-long qualitative study explored how a literature-based literacy curriculum supported literacy growth of ESL kindergartners in a full-day Portuguese-English bilingual program. Findings indicated that emphasizing phonics and construction of meaning from texts supported children's construction of literacy understandings. Limited oral language proficiency did not constrain emergent writing and reading development. (Author/KB)
