The increasing linguistic diversity in American classrooms necessitates pedagogical approaches that acknowledge and leverage students' cultural and linguistic assets. This study examines the impact of culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) on early literacy and numeracy development among multilingual learners in the United States. Through a comprehensive analysis of empirical research, demographic data, and educational outcomes, this article demonstrates that culturally responsive teaching practices significantly enhance academic achievement for multilingual students in grades K-3. The findings reveal substantial improvements in reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, and overall academic engagement when educators implement culturally sustaining pedagogical frameworks. This research contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the necessity of culturally responsive education in addressing achievement gaps and promoting equitable learning outcomes for America's increasingly diverse student population
