Week 3, Assignment 2: Blog Post

For my book and assignment this week, I chose No Limits to Literacy for Preschool English Learners by
T.A. Roberts. It covers teaching strategies and learning differences related to dual language/English as a Second Language learners. It provided some new information about the interplay and similarities between native English speakers and ESL students, which is relevant to my research topic.

The main strategy that helped most was the importance of the Subject v. Text selections and the importance of search terms. I suppose that these aren't really new strategies or lessons for me, but their importance is something it is easy to forget.

The main frustration was the lack of content concerning my original topic. I had wanted to tie my research into different income levels, but there was nothing available along those lines. As i continue to research my topic, I am hoping that something related to that will still appear, even though it is now clear that there is not enough info to integrate that fully into my topic.
