"This book ... has two major goals for pre-service and practicing teachers: 1. Teachers learn how to develop, implement, and monitor interdisciplinary biliteracy units of instruction that they can use in any type of bilingual program--while effectively addressing the diverse needs of simultaneous and sequential bilingual learners from Spanish-speaking homes, bilingual homes, and English-speaking homes. 2. Bilingual teachers will have opportunities to leverage their own bilingual resources and cultural funds of knowledge to strengthen their academic Spanish and biliteracy, with a focus on academic reading and writing in Spanish, as they use this book."--Publisher's description
