Raising a Bilingual Child

Raising a Bilingual Child is a guidebook for what to do and what to expect when you're parenting a bilingual-to-be. It can be used as a quick reference to help with a specific strategy, but also provides the bigger picture of the stages learners go through on their path to language and literacy in one, two, or more languages. The book includes many inspirational accounts from parents and childhood bilinguals. It dispels myths about bilingualism and explains how learning multiple languages at a young age can enhance your child's overall intellectual and emotional development. This version is abridged by the author to focus on the most practical advice.
