Second language literacy interventions can be carried out in either the bilingual child’s native language or second language. It may seem counterintuitive to try to improve a child’s second language literacy by developing their native language literacy. However, studies have shown that interventions that improve a child’s native language reading and writing also improve the child's second language reading and writing. This is especially true for young bilingual children who are still learning their native language because building their grammatical and vocabulary skills in their native language helps to build a better language foundation for learning a second language.
