"I would advise teachers not to make the same assumptions they would for children of US-born monolingual English-speaking families. They are not going to be as talkative - not b/c they know less or are less able. It is b/c that is what they've been taught" https://t.co/Y2nsQUFqhO
"Amount of adult talk, (child's) age, and normative development were the sole significant predictors; child gender, socioeconomic status, and multilingualism did not explain how often children vocalized or how much adult talk they heard." https://t.co/IEOnm2TCFJ

In the words of @TonyThurmond, “the home language skills that students bring to California schools are a valuable asset in their own right as well as in developing literacy in English.”
This was a really fun piece to write (and project to do) with @AAdamsSanabria 🌎🗣📚
We spent more time teaching our children how to manage their emotions, resolve conflict and handle stress, then helping them with their studying, grades and their 3 languages (Japanese, Spanish, English). #basicneedscomefirst
