THE AHVIAN APPROACH
Bilingual Literacy Is More Than Learning Two Languages.
Language becomes more meaningful when learners encounter it in stories, use it in conversation, create with it, explore it through play, and connect it to their lived experiences, cultures, emotions, and the world around them.
This Homeschool Bilingual Literacy Program brings these experiences together through a connected learning pathway that values children’s existing languages and knowledge as strengths.
PROGRAM FRAMEWORK
