The Importance of Home Language Series
School readiness and school success for children who are dual language learners (DLLs) are tied directly to mastery of their home language.
The Head Start Early Childhood Learning & Knowledge Center has created a series of handouts is designed to provide staff and families with basic information on topics related to children learning two or more languages. They emphasize the benefits of being bilingual, the importance of maintaining home language, and the value of becoming fully bilingual.
These easy-to-read resources, available in multiple languages, highlight important information for DLL teachers and caregivers.
