    Early Literacy and Bilingual Education for English Language Learners (ELLs) Literacy begins to develop long before children set foot in a school. Children start the process of language acquisition from infancy and continue to progress through the stages, each child at their own pace, until ultimately reaching some stage of formal literacy. Our role as educators, once these children come to our classrooms, is to detect where each one is on the Continuum and guide their progression to become fully literate. Emergent/early literacy is manifested by a child’s oral language development, their awareness of concepts about print and also phonological awareness and knowledge of alphabetic principle. Depending on an array of circumstances, the…
