I remember coming to the United States without knowing the
English Language.
I learned very quickly
that I would need to learn English in order to be able to obtain a job.
I started to take English as a second
language courses at the community college.
I have to confess that learning English was challenging because I would
try to read as we read in Spanish and I found out that words in English have
pronunciations that many letters are do not sound for example the one word I
had trouble with was ‘receipt’.
I wanted
to read it and pronounce it with a the ‘P’ as well but the ‘P’ is silent.
That is why I say that English was
challenging for me to learn because of the many silent words.
So, when I read in English, I made many
mistakes in being able to pronounce words correctly.
I know that for children it is easier to
learn the English language however when I think of children attending preschool
there is more than just learning English but adapting to a new way of learning
and much more.
My research
will be based on How does Literacy Development support children that are Early
Language Learners?
