Guide for Parents of English Language Learners: Operating under Texas Education Agency guidelines, HISD features instructional programs tailored to every student's particular needs and interests.
Bilingual Language Learning in Children: Infants who experience two languages from birth typically become native speakers of both, while adults often struggle with second language learning and rarely attain native-like fluency. Dual Language Education Can Close Achievement Gap: Dual language learning has been found to be the only method of second language acquisition to facilitate the full closure of the achievement gap between English learners and English speakers in primary and secondary education.HISD is providing parents with a FREE subscription to ReadyRosie, an interactive tool that provides daily activities for adults to do with children ages 0 to 6. The activities are simple, take about two minutes, and help prepare children for success in school.
