The focus is on the language and literacy learning of elementary-school students and on how it is influenced by parents, teachers, and policymakers. Pérez provides rich, highly detailed descriptions, both quantitative and qualitative, of the change process at the two schools involved, including student language and achievement data for five years of program implementation that were used to test the basic two-way bilingual theory, the specific school interventions, and the particular classroom instructional practices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe contribution of \u003ci\u003eBecoming Biliterate: A Study of Two-Way Bilingual Immersion Education\u003c\/i\u003e is to provide a comprehensive description of contextual and instructional factors that might help or hinder the attainment of successful literacy and student outcomes in both languages.
