Having conversations with children who are learning English in addition to their home languages is an essential skill for early childhood educators. Conversations must engage multilingual children as active participants.

Responding to children’s multilingual contributions sends the message that diversity is valued in your classroom. It shows multilingual children that they have important ideas and questions to contribute, and that all forms of communication are of value. https://t.co/PYt1Cccvi2 pic.twitter.com/sEUADfaktw

Look with love (and optimism) at children’s writing, remember: scribbling is writing too…and it’s worth a closer look

As an #earlyyears #educator, I've been promoting this for years! "Scribbling IS writing". #earlychildhood #ece #IntEarlyEd #EYShare #EYFS #EYMatters https://t.co/5UBmIBkGbn

Don't keep it a secret, make it #visiblelearning. Documenting #learners thoughts gives value to the process. It drives #learning and influences learning behaviour. #earlyyears #pypchat @iborganization @EYNIST pic.twitter.com/OllJvbhtcH

It is so important that we identify #literacy difficulties at the earliest opportunity in the #classroom, especially with research showing that the majority of problems experienced in adulthood can be traced back to the #earlyyears! #EdChathttps://t.co/CgzyT7OjQX
