Abstract
This thesis is dev oted to make a research about benefits of being bilingual. Acquiring multiple languages is advantageous for individuals, families, and society as a whole. Early childhood educators can inform families and communities about the advantages of being bilingual, assist in maintaining children's native languages, and promote the importance of preserving linguistic diversity. Nurturing a child's first language sets the stage for literacy development, enabling them to become proficient in reading and writing in multiple languages. Studies have highlighted numerous advantages associated with bilingualism and literacy.
