Very readable book from Barbara Zurer Pearson, Research Associate at the University ofMassachussetts,USA. This book is designed for parents and parent-to-be wondering about whether to raise their child bilingually. Its features include a whole chapter covering the research evidence that a bilingual upbringing does not harm a child’s cognitive or academic development, as well as numerous testimonials of parents raising children bilingually using a whole host of strategies. What makes it stand out is a dedicated chapter on what to do with a bilingual child you suspect has special needs.
(Sharon Unsworth, Ivana Brasileiro, Manuela Pinto)
