Excerpted from the website:
- A study of more than 8,200 kindergarten students in Montgomery County Public Schools last year confirmed the widely-held view that children who are young, impoverished, and learning English as a second language have significantly weaker literacy skills upon entering kindergarten, than children who do not share these characteristics.1. A follow-up article in the Washington Post highlighted the shocking and sad fact the 35% of children in ESOL were born in the USA. This gap in achievement is a result of poverty, inattention, and linguistic isolation. The parents of these children work several jobs, have little or no education, and have difficulty finding adequate childcare. Immigration severs extensive family ties and children are left with neighbors that at best provide “babysitting”. These children are described by teachers as “alingual.” They are illiterate in both languages and are severely delayed in their language development in both their native language and in English, and they are U.S. citizens!
