As California becomes more and more culturally and linguistically diverse, it will be more important than before for early childhood educators to be knowledgeable about teaching strategies that will help our preschool English Language Learners to meet their academic goals. In my presentation, I will be providing early childhood educators with an understanding of the role of families in language and literacy development, ways to make home-school connections, understanding of how children learn language, and strategies we can use in our classrooms to help preschool children in language and literacy development. Our participants will have hands-on experience with strategies, which include interactive storybook reading, nursery rhymes, songs, making stories come alive, and others.
