Starting Early with English Language Learners: First Lessons from Illinois Language: English
Author: Severns, Maggie
Publisher: The New America Foundation (April 2012)
Description: This paper takes a look at how the state came to see a need for these policies and how it is implementing them on a large scale. It also highlights two parts of Illinois’s approach that merit consideration by other states with large or growing ELL populations. First, by expanding into pre-K, the state has created opportunities to align ELL pro-2 grams across the early school years, opening the possibilities for districts to adopt a PreK-3rd approach. Second, Illinois’s teacher training requirements ensure that teachers charged with bilingual or ESL classrooms have adequate training to do so, in K-12 classrooms and in pre-K classrooms. Both of these strategies, if implemented well and adequately funded, could greatly benefit English Language Learners in the state, setting them on a path to academic success with a higher likelihood of graduating from high school and college.

TV Interferes With Infants' Language Development Language: English
Author: Mendelsohn, Alan
Publisher: Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine (June 2009)
Description: This article summary on healthfinder.gov (U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services) describes a study that found that television reduces verbal interaction between parents and infants, which could delay children's language development, says a U.S. study that challenges claims that certain infant-targeted DVDs actually benefit youngsters.
The researchers studied 329 children, aged 2 months to 48 months, and found that for each additional hour of television exposure, there was a decrease of 770 words (7 percent) heard from an adult by the children. The study also found that the more hours spent watching television, the fewer vocalizations infants made when adults talked to them.
