Early Exposure To English Helps Spanish Children.
Early disclosure to English helps Spanish-speaking children in the United States do better in school, a revitalized study shows. "It is critical to study ways to increase Spanish-speaking children's English vocabulary while in advanced childhood before literacy gaps between them and English-only speaking children widen and the Spanish-speaking children fall behind," study author Francisco Palermo, an assistant professor in the University of Missouri College of Human Environmental Sciences, said in a university intelligence release. "Identifying the best ways to finance Spanish-speaking children's learning of English at home and at preschool can diminish language barriers in the classroom antediluvian and can help start these students on the pathway to academic success".

The study included more than 100 preschoolers who essentially spoke Spanish. The children were learning English. The researchers found that the youngsters' English vocabulary skills were better if they were exposed to English both at nursing home and in the classroom. When parents occupied English at home, it helped the kids learn and express new English words. Using English with classmates also helped the children rule new English words, according to the researchers.

And "While the reconstruction of the formerly ancient Spanish influenza virus was important in helping study other pandemic viruses, it raised some concerns about an random lab release or its use as a bioterrorist agent," study author Adolfo Garcia-Sastre, a professor of microbiology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, said in a creed front-page news release. "Our research shows that the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine protects against the Spanish influenza virus, an high-level breakthrough in preventing another devastating pandemic like 1918".
