Multilingual children learn and develop language across their home, community and pre-kindergarten through third grade settings. Children’s identities, experiences, environments, relationships, exposure to languages, and opportunities to use language all play key roles in their early language development. WIDA promotes equitable learning opportunities for young multilingual children by offering tools and resources for PreK-3 professionals.
Let’s Play! During this self-paced virtual workshop, you will explore what play for multilingual children is, why it is ideal for multilingual children’s language development and learning, and how to implement more joyful learning. You will have opportunities to observe multilingual children playing, hear from other educators about how they integrate play into their teaching practices, and examine local factors that impact play for multilingual children.
