*Many ELLs pass through a silent period
*Students who continue to develop age-appropriate proficiency in their own language do better in school than students who abandon their first language ]]> 2019-02-05 01:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_jcastonguay/migmpgnxm9wj/wish/327605245 nicole_jcastonguay https://padlet.com/nicole_jcastonguay/migmpgnxm9wj/wish/327605613 Oral language is the foundation of literacy
