I chose to read more into the NAEYC website and subscribe to their
e-news letter. I feel like I never get the chance to read up on the information
NAEYC provides and this gave me the perfect opportunity to do that. A few of
the articles included, a New Edition of Ethics and the Early Childhood
Educator, A New Basics Book, Refresh with Summer Learning Content from NAEYC, and
new spotlight books along with other general information. Out of all the
articles I was most interested in reading about the new Basics book that
is coming out this month. The bit was talking about how this is the newest book
is a series. This particular book is titled “Basics of Supporting Dual Language
Learners”. It is about focusing on
teaching dual language learners. It is also an introduction to dual language
learners “for educators of children from birth through age 8” (e-News, 2012). The book “covers key
points about first and second language development, discusses the importance of
supporting the home language, and describes how programs and schools can
prepare for a diverse group of students”
(e-News, 2012). I was so intrigued
by this book and the information it provided that I ordered a copy of it. I
really think it will be informative and further support the Issues and Trends
class.
