Focusing on the emergent biliteracy of two kindergarteners in a New Mexican neighborhood, the book explores how they develop reading and writing skills in both English and Spanish. Through ethnographic accounts, it highlights the familial, communal, and academic contexts that shape their bilingual experiences. Utilizing Vygotskian theory, it delves into the sociocultural and semiotic processes of learning, incorporating the perspectives of the children and their teacher's action research, offering insights into their lives and the dynamics of their bilingual education.
