Bilingualism is a strength, not a barrier, to school readiness.

This can greatly impact how dual language learners succeed in kindergarten and beyond. Learn more about tips for talking and engaging with your dual language learners in this free guide!

Did you know? Dancing enhances language and literacy in young children! We learned a lot from a study posted in Isabelle Hau's Small Talks Newsletter recently. Dance helps them identify sound patterns critical for language development. It also boosts brain development, improves social emotional development, and, of course, strengthens motor skills. Check out how Small Magic uses dancing in their classroom to promote positive back-and-forth conversations with their children! Interested in Isabelle Hau's newsletter, blogs, and podcast?
