Abstract
Neighborhood resources may shape children's school readiness, yet these associations haven’t been investigated with young dual language learners (DLLs) from low-income, immigrant families. Using a sample of Chinese and Mexican American families, we found that neighborhood education resources are associated with higher English expressive and receptive proficiencies in preschool-age DLLs.
