NCELA is pleased to announce the release of their latest report entitled

Dual Language Learners in the Early Years: Getting Ready to Succeed in School

This report reviews the literature on getting dual language learners ready for school. Dual language learners are children from 3-6 years old who are learning a second language while still acquiring their first. The report adopts the framework of the National Schools Readiness Indicators Initiative (NSRII), and looks at ways in which ready families, communities, services and schools can work together to get children ready to succeed in the early years of education. The report reviews demographic data on the conditions of early childhood, highlights research on instruction for young English language learners with a special focus on communicative skills and literacy, and reviews research on best practices in assessment for this population.

The report can be downloaded from http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/resabout/ecell/earlyyears.pdf .
