Abstract
This chapter outlines research by the author which examines bilingual children's experiences of negotiating more than one language in education, family and community settings. The research investigated young children's views about growing up with two languages, children's dispositions in the learning of Spanish, and ways in which educators built on children's cultural, linguistic and social capital to extend children's home languages and literacies in early childhood settings.
