The authors once again provide current, clear, and accessible information in a culturally responsive manner. Through interwoven discussions of research, educational and clinical contexts, and illustrative case examples, they skillfully build both a theoretical and practical understanding of the heterogeneous nature of dual language learning and how to support dual language learners with different experiences and ability levels.
