What resonates with me is that the Bridge serves to strengthen students' abilities to transfer knowledge and skills BETWEEN languages.]]> 2023-04-13 18:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/stella_ashland1/honjtgt1rzk9b7xj/wish/2553603489 https://padlet.com/stella_ashland1/honjtgt1rzk9b7xj/wish/2594154632 Bridging is not transitioning. When students understand the new concepts with one language, then compare to the other language.]]> 2023-05-17 04:45:56 UTC https://padlet.com/stella_ashland1/honjtgt1rzk9b7xj/wish/2594154632 https://padlet.com/stella_ashland1/honjtgt1rzk9b7xj/wish/2607265106 I love how "the bridge" stands for having a two way street between languages rather than a one way street. Instead of saying "You used to say this, now we say that" it is showing the value in both languages and how they connect to each other.]]> 2023-05-28 17:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/stella_ashland1/honjtgt1rzk9b7xj/wish/2607265106 https://padlet.com/stella_ashland1/honjtgt1rzk9b7xj/wish/2607480442 resonates: it's not necessary to determine a dominate language. students who are learning in more than one language have strengths in each of them that help strengthen their literacy skills in all of them.
question: why are there so many schools still using literacy programs more than 40 years old that don't recognize multilingualism as an asset? (not expecting an answer, just something to think about).
comment: I'm glad to see that there is an awareness of demographic changes that expose children to more than one language from birth. ]]> 2023-05-29 02:55:30 UTC https://padlet.com/stella_ashland1/honjtgt1rzk9b7xj/wish/2607480442 https://padlet.com/stella_ashland1/honjtgt1rzk9b7xj/wish/2609843878 I like how we can use explicit strategies to help students become more aware of language similarities and differences, which in turn, helps students realize that they have more "tools in their toolkit" when accessing materials.]]> 2023-05-31 02:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/stella_ashland1/honjtgt1rzk9b7xj/wish/2609843878
