Resumen
This study explored the early years (3 to 4) of bilingual and biliteracy development of an unschooled child in Colombia. With the view to contribute to the increasing number of studies in bilingualism and biliteracy and fill the gap in early dual language and literacy research out of the school context in Colombia, I examined how bilingual and biliteracy skills of a child growing up bilingual unfold in her everyday practices within an unschooled environment. Since the child in this longitudinal case study is my child, as a mother and teacher-researcher, I had the opportunity to be present across several social situations and document through video, recordings, and a diary factors and events as they occurred and a detailed picture of the process. Findings may lead to parents and early childhood educators to questioning and reflect upon the conventional language and literacy practices and engage children to participate in literacy events beyond what they usually do in the classroom, as well as raise awareness in the importance of legitimizing practices of learning out of the school structure, in everyday life.
