“Bilingualism is a benefit, as students who can speak more than one language have demonstrated advantages in awareness of language, communication skills, memory, decision-making, and analytical skills,” said José Viana, Senior Education Advisor, Lexia Learning. “We believe in providing educators with the information and resources they need to better support their emergent bilingual students.”
