Research on ESL children has surprising results
GSE's Nonie Lesaux says non-native speaking kindergartners may read better.
"Lesaux's study, published in the journal "Developmental Psychology" this month, tracked 1,000 children speaking native English and English as a second language (ESL) in mainstream English classrooms from kindergarten through second grade. With participants from across an entire school district in North Vancouver, Canada, the research is the first-ever longitudinal study to look at a population-based sample that took in a citywide sweep of social classes, immigrant populations, and native languages - 33 of them."
