Supporting the Development of English by Young English Language Learners ELL Module 3 (Miami Valley)

Shifting demographics across the country change the way early care and education professionals must introduce language in their environments. Currently there are over 110 languages spoken in Ohio alone! Studies show that supporting children’s home language in their early learning and education settings is critical to optimal language development. Discover what it means for a child to be bilingual, the stages of development for children learning more than one language and how you can best support these children even if you only speak one language yourself.
