OverviewDesigned to help students and educators make critical theory-to-practice connections, this essential volume provides a deep yet accessible approach to infant and toddler language and literacy education. Centered around four foundational topics—language, interaction, and play; language and culture; multilingualism; and early literacy—each section starts with a chapter breaking down the research and theory, followed by two practice chapters, from both leadership and teacher perspectives, that illustrate key concepts across a range of infant-toddler contexts. Ideal for students in early language and literacy courses as well as programs on infant-toddler development, this critical resource helps readers thoughtfully and practically bring multilingual and multiliterate development to the infant and toddler years.

In addition to a practical and informative resource for early childhood practitioners and teacher educators working with infants and toddlers, three elements make this collection unique and particularly important. First, the diversity of voices including many practitioner first-hand accounts is rare and powerful. Readers will feel they are really talking with a talented group of colleagues. Second, the book centers culturally sustaining pedagogy as early language instruction. Attention to second language learning and attention to home culture permeate the entire collection. Third, the book is full of innovative practices a practitioner can go and try the next day. Readers will leave better informed as they seek to create classrooms that support our youngest learners and families.'
