Getting it right for Young Children from Diverse Backgrounds

By Linda Espinosa (Pearson, £23.99)

What do today's poor children need to succeed in school today? Grounded in research and linked to practice, this book looks at the advances in the scientific understanding of dual language development since the first edition was published and presents the new research on programme models and classroom practices. It also includes a new chapter dedicated to instructional strategies and classroom practices with video links, illustrations and sample lessons. Learning objectives, summaries and extensive activities are also included in each chapter.
