The Read with MEE project, co-funded by the European Union, promotes multilingualism and literacy in the early years through reading in home languages. A recent roundtable at Marino Institute of Education was organised by the project team, Profs Rory McDaid (MIE), Kathleen McTiernan and Lorna Carson. The roundtable focused on the topic of dialogic reading, best practices and multilingualism in Early Childhood Care and Education in Ireland.
