This article emphasizes the importance of embracing and mobilizing students' linguistic practices, particularly in bilingual settings. The authors reflect on their experiences as bilingual teachers, initially correcting students' use of regional Spanish variations and translanguaging (mixing English and Spanish). However, through advanced studies, they recognized the validity of these practices and began fostering an inclusive classroom environment that honors students' linguistic identities across their literacies. They synthesize their pedagogical practices in five tips for Texas teachers--whether they consider themselves bilingual or not, so that they, too, can nurture the many languages of literacy.
