Respecting the child's home language while professionals foster the acquisition of English is respectful of the child's skills and learning needs. This process supports the child's developing language proficiency so that he or she has a firm foundation on which to build English proficiency. It is also respectful of family, and communicates value for the way in which families live their lives. This practice also creates a bridge between home, school, and community.
