Parents spend millions of dollars every year on classes, computer programs, and toys, all of which promise to help children learn a second language. But many of their best efforts (and investments) end in disappointment. </p> <p> In <i>The Bilingual Edge</i>, professors and parents King and Mackey wade through the hype and provide clear insights into what actually works. No matter what your language background is&#8212;whether you never passed Spanish in high school or you speak Mandarin fluently&#8212;King and Mackey will help you: </p> <ul> <p><li>select the language that will give your child the most benefits</li></p> <p><li>find materials and programs that will assist your child in achieving fluency</li></p> <p><li>identify and use your family's unique traits to maximize learning</li></p> </ul> <p> Fancy private schools and expensive materials aren't needed. Instead, <i>The Bilingual Edge</i> translates the latest research into interactive strategies and quick tips that even the busiest parents can use. </p> 1332275 31 7 2007 The Bilingual Edge: Why, When, and How to Teach Your Child a Second Language total:26|5:4|4:8|3:9|2:4|1:1| 26 88 59 12 5 0 false false Sat May 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 23 17:56:50 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 12:51:59 -0700 2009
