    • Abstract:
      Research from dual and bilingual education programs shows that the use of a student's home language for reading instruction is one of the most beneficial practices for multilingual learners. Given the plethora of home languages encountered in public schools, how can teachers who do not speak the languages of their students utilize a student's home language as an asset during reading instruction? This article describes a case study of a second grade Japanese student. During instruction, the student read texts in both Japanese and English. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
