Heinemann, 2004

Great linguistic book for teachers
Freeman & Freeman have hit a great niche with their book. I don't want or need, a complex linguistics book in the style of Chomsky. Freeman & Freeman take language research and package the relevant "real-world" findings so they will be of use for teachers. Although my interest is for English as a Second (ESL) teachers, I believe every teacher is concerned with literacy, and Freeman & Freeman's ...

Heinemann, 2006

they still fight the good fight
This is a wonderful book! It is for teachers who think, reason and care more about teaching the students in front of them rather than graphs, rankings and standardized tests. The Freemans detail how the US political climate has impacted bilingual education since 1994 and offer solutions for teachers to navigate this crazy system.

Great help for the teacher of Spanish speaking students
This book provides a practical means to approach reading and writing for Spanish speaking students learning English. The strongest points of the book are the classroom scenarios and examples of lessons and units. Examples of student writings illustrate their stages of development. This is my first year teaching and I have entered a bilingual teaching setting with no formal training in ...

Between Worlds: Access to Second Language Acquisition

David E. Freeman, Yvonne S. Freeman

Heinemann, 2001

Important Issues for Any Teacher
I am using Between Worlds in a Literacy Methods for Elementary Teachers class. Although my class is not geared toward teaching English Language Learners, we are using this book under the premise that what is helpful for English Language Learners is also helpful for native English speakers. The book is clearly written and full of both theory and anecdotes. This is much more helpful than if it ...

This is what you should do this Friday night
Freeman and Freeman have done a superb job of writing an informative text filled with theory AND practical application. I am now able to better defend my belief of bilingual education. I am also better able to teach my students in that I have a new set of ideas for lesson plans. This was an easy read. In fact, I could not put it down and read it cover to cover one very late Friday ...

Yvonne S. Freeman, David E. Freeman

Heinemann, 2008

Teaching secondary students in the content areas is hard enough under the best of circumstances.

Fortunately, the Freemans help secondary content-area teachers provide these students with the academic support they very desperately need. - Robert J. Marzano Coauthor of Building Academic Vocabulary Many ...
