Description

The case study described here focuses on a dual-language, student-authored book project developed in the context of a 27-student kindergarten class. Working collaboratively with their teacher and parents, the kindergarten students in this study produced individual, self-authored seven-page books written in both English and their first languages. The books were illustrated with drawings and pictures from home. Each of the 27 books was then made into a CD in order that the children could also view their books electronically and send them via email to family members and friends back in their home countries.
