THE BILINGUAL EDGE:
The Ultimate Guide to Why, When, and How to Teach Your Child a Second Language

By Kendall King, Ph.D., and Alison Mackey, Ph.D
Forthcoming from Collins, July 2007

Teaching a child a second language is more important today than ever before. Parents are increasingly drawn to the life-long academic, social, and intellectual advantages that come with knowing more than one language. The only book of its kind, The Bilingual Edge is an indispensable resource for both multi- and monolingual households. Using the latest exciting research, professors King and Mackey help parents decide which languages to introduce, when to introduce them, and how to create a long-term learning plan. With real-life examples, checklists, and specific learning strategies, King and Mackey show parents how they can introduce second languages to their children in fun, easy and interactive ways.
