The research behind Polylino

Nearly one out of every three children in North America have a parent or guardian that speaks a language other than English. Research has shown that when children are exposed to their home language at an early age they strengthen their development of both that language and English.

There are a lot of challenges when it comes to supporting Dual Language Learners and ESL students in an early learning setting, including lack of multilingual staff and affordable tools. With Polylino, educators can facilitate storytime in 64 languages for all learners.
