Abstract	The number of children learning English entering U.S. schools continues to rise, yet the majority of classroom teachers remain English-dominant. Many teachers feel under-prepared to work with the growing number of multilingual students. However, they can draw on a familiar curricular structure, shared reading, to build on children's cultural and linguistic strengths to support developing literacy. Research on shared reading indicated this instructional method positively impacts overall reading achievement. By applying sheltering techniques to shared reading we provide the supports needed for multilingual students. Leveraging tranlansguaging pedagogies during shared reading has the potential to further the impact on overall literacy development. In this article, specific instructional approaches that meet the needs of young multilinguals are shared. We provide greater access to shared reading by combining translanguaging pedagogy with four main sheltering techniques: scaffolding, guarded vocabulary, hands-on materials and cooperative learning. With greater access to shared classroom literacy experiences, multilingual children can achieve greater academic and linguistic success. (As Provided).
