Abstract:

Reimagining Early Childhood Education for Dual Language Preschoolers:
Enhancing Children's Agency through Inquiry, Writing, and Reading
introduces the Interdisciplinary Biliteracy Sequence (IBS), a
framework designed to support bilingual learning in preschool
classrooms. The authors share insights from a year-long research
project where dual language teachers implemented the IBS with
preschool emergent bilinguals. Through classroom examples, they
illustrate how this approach integrates active exploration,
knowledge-building, and biliteracy development. Emphasizing the power
of play and multimodal learning, they highlight how educators can
leverage children's cultural and linguistic assets to foster
meaningful learning.
