Constructs Children Use in Developing First and Second Language Literacy.
Perez, Bertha
Early Child Development and Care, v127-128 p157-65 1997
Reviews current understanding of the process of emergent literacy development for linguistically diverse children. Claims that process of literacy development can be viewed as a sequential developmental task. Also explains that children create principles or hypotheses to develop literacy specific to their understanding of their native language and then bring these experiences to the task of learning English literacy.
