In this paper, we utilize the theory of "translanguaging" to make sense of the biliterate activities of young emergent bilinguals in a before-school program for Latinx students at an elementary school. Our findings show that even early writers are able to draw from their full linguistic repertoire, utilizing orthographic and syntactic…

Building on the research on translanguaging practices in classrooms (e.g. García, 2009; Sayer, 2011) and immigrant families' literacy practices (e.g. Gregory et al., 2004; Li, 2006), this qualitative study explores the nature of translanguaging practices of four Korean bilingual children and their families in home literacy events.

Kenner, Charmian; Ruby, Mahera – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2013

However, due to the institutional constraints of an education system based on monolingual principles, mainstream teachers are often…

Rogers, Rebecca; Elias, Martille – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2012
