An ideal approach for unpacking the complexity of bilingual reading behaviors and how they change across time, the Profiles allow readers to explore what a bilingual reader's identity means to becoming biliterate; the roles of code-switching and translanguaging; the influences of readers' families and communities; and how they all interact and shape readers' identities, behaviors, and meaning-making.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOffering practical applications on observing and documenting bilingual readers, this book is an invaluable resource for scholars and students in courses on bilingualism, L2\/ESL reading, and multilingualism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bobbie Kabuto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367493926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367493929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Bobbie Kabuto","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44127781257471,"sku":"9780367493929","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d250cd4d-1088-4ac5-bc50-7043f89183ef.jpg?v=1687455196","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/becoming-bilingual-readers-bobbie-kabuto-9780367493929","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
