Using bilingual books to support el desarrollo bilingüe

Using bilingual books to support el desarrollo bilingüe

Bilingual books are often overlooked in bilingual education because of the use of multiple languages on the same page. Join me for this webinar where we take a first–hand look at various types of bilingual text and how these texts can be used in instruction.

In this workshop, we will:

• Explore various types of bilingual books 
• Examine how bilingual books can support translanguaging in bilingual and dual language classrooms
• Consider ways to incorporate the use of bilingual text in your instructional practice

Target Audience: K-12 teachers of bilingual learners
