Early Intervention Strategies for Language and Literacy Development in Young Dual Language Learners: A Literature Review

Abstract

This systematic literature review addresses the urgent need for early language intervention research focused on dual language learners (DLLs) who are at risk of developmental delays, particularly among preschoolers. The findings highlight a significant gap in research focusing on DLLs who experience developmental delays highlighting the need for more research on effective interventions. This review offers a fresh look at evidence-based strategies for informing future research. It emphasizes the importance of including diverse populations and developing culturally responsive intervention frameworks tailored for young DLLs.
