| Introduction | Raising Emerging Bilinguals chronicles the challenges, joys, and triumphs of a bilingual and bicultural family. Guatemalan by marriage, author Mae Waugh Barrios is a parenting blogger with a Master of Education from Northeastern University and more than 10 years of experience teaching ESL. For the past two years, she has chosen to stay at home and writes about her experiences as an American mom raising her three children to speak Spanish in a monolingual society. The blog features a series of bilingual storytimes in English and Spanish, descriptions of their preschool lessons, and tips for fostering a language-rich environment at home. |
