More dual language programs needed to help Latino students meet state reading standards in Buffalo schools

"Wherever you have dual-language programs, the kids are doing really well," said Judy Yturriago, president of the Illinois Association for Multilingual Multicultural Education and former chief of the bilingual program in Evanston schools. Dual-language instruction aims to build students' literacy in their native language as well as in English. In three suburban districts with dual-language programs - Evanston District 65, North Shore District 112 in Highland Park, and School District 54 in Schaumburg - at least 80 percent of Latino eighth-grade students met state reading standards on the 2011 Illinois Standards Achievement Test.
