Eve Gregory's book fills a void in literacy education for bilingual students. This textprovides solid theory, useful resources, and practical teaching suggestions for literacydevelopment in a second language for young children. Describing the multilingual, multiculturalcomplexity of early schooling in Great Britain, Gregory provides a strong rationale for her viewsof early literacy training, both formal and informal, for “emergentbilinguals”—children who are “the first generation in their family to receiveformal schooling in the new country, who do not speak the language of the host country at home, and who are consequently at the early stages of second language learning” (p.8).
