ED-JOY: Oh the delight that filled my heart when I received my personal copy today!!! One of my dreams is to one day be an author of professional texts that equip and inspire educators to advance student learning. Well, today, I celebrate my FIRST entry into The Reading League Journal. In this piece, I highlight the importance of Oral Language, Vocabulary, and Background Knowledge in advancing student achievement in our MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS!!! My favorite quote from this piece (yes, I can celebrate ME lol): “We must not create a learning environment that inhibits the use of students’ home language but rather engages students in learning activities in which they see the connection between their language and the new language. It is through determining the distinct features between the two languages that students internalize critical aspects of the new language.”
