EXAMPLE Response

Picture
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

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
