These practices were enforced by aiming the parents to reinforce Halq’eméylem language and literacy practices at home. The authors conclude by
Literacy As a child, I never had books read to me. It was not really part of the middle-class lifestyle in Punjab, where I was born and lived for 5 years. In Punjab, I completed two years of early education known as LKG (lower kindergarten) and UKG (upper kindergarten). The school I went to, although a high SES school, did not have a library where we would go to read picture books.

Human beings are experts in adaptation, there are multi-linguistics that have mastered several languages, and are able to communicate and write formally in all of them. The fact that John Humphrys
What are the benefits of Chinese immersion? The Story Of The Search I chose the topic of “What are the benefits of Chinese immersion?” because I have been in Chinese immersion since kindergarten, excluding 4th and 5th grade, and I wanted to figure out whether learning Chinese would be rewarding and well worth my time and effort in the future. A few of my sub-questions to help me with my research were “What are some jobs that require fluency in Chinese?” “What does learning a second language
Each year, schools across the nation are seeing an increase in the amount of English language learners they are receiving. Teachers of all grade levels are finding it harder and harder to teach these ELLs because of lack of or little to no proper training.

Aileen McGee Professor Anderson Child Development and Program Design Classroom Architecture Project Early childhood classrooms are made with love and excitement by the teachers.
