Strategies for Dual Language Learners Throughout the Framework
For example, in Chapter 6, Mathematics, you will find:
• Modified language• Manipulative and every day objects• Modeling and acting out• Oral descriptors for new vocabulary• Respect the silent period• Match questions to the child’s proficiency level• Use the child’s first language and culture (Mathematics in the Early Years, NAEYC)

Reflection
• Think of a child in your classroom. At what stage of English-language development is this child?
• How do you support English-language learners now?
• What new strategies might you try?• What strategies do you use with families to
determine how they support their child’s home language?
