bilingual programs for pre-school aged children

[Disbray, Samantha]

I would appreciate references on bilingual language development among young children, in education and care settings, offering bilingual programs.

My interest is in additive programs, designed  for children who are speakers of a dominant language, learning a foreign language, as well as programs for speakers of a migrant/minority language, learning a dominant language.

I will put together a list of references and make these available to others.

Thanks

Dear Michelle,
I do not know which aspects of language you are most interested in, or how extensive a paper you will be writing, but you might find my book on bilingual children helpful to get started, especially chapter 7.  The book was written for parents, but you can also find a complete set of notes for it at my website.  They will point you to work on infants and toddlers by myself and colleagues, but also by Werker,  Vihman, Sebastian-Galles, Genesee, Paradis, Meisel, Deuchar, and Leopold among others.

Raising a Bilingual Child, by Barbara Zurer Pearson, Random House, 2008 (and in Spanish, Bilingual Readers 2010!)

Good luck. (Do not hesitate to write with more specific questions.)
