This. That's the most important point. There's been studies that shows that using the children's native dialect to teach reading results in faster progress. Making it clear that Standard English is a different language makes integration much easier. This is similar to kids learning Mandarin in China, they are taught that Mandarin is a different language than their dialect not that they speak broken Chinese, so they learn Mandarin and are eventually able to use it in business/formal situations.
