HOME PAGES: LITERACY LINKS FOR BILINGUAL CHILDREN. By Charmian Kenner. (Trentham Books, 12.95, 01782 745567).
Reviewed by Tina Hendy, childcare services manager, Westwood Nursery, University of Bath
This book offers practical advice on how to introduce a multilingual literacy environment into an early years setting.
The author has shown that there are no bilingual programmes in state education. All advice is directed towards the learning of English and pupils are referred to as having 'English as an additional language' rather than as 'children who are becoming biliterate'. In future, all children are likely to need more bilingual experience, and through this book the author explains how important these links are, and how to introduce them easily and effectively.
