We feel we hit the mark when we decided to dedicate a whole week to the One-Parent-One-Language method of raising bilingual children. If you’ve missed the informative articles prepared by Roxana, experts and guests then click here to read them.

Today is our last day of the OPOL WEEK and we’ve put together a list of useful links related to the OPOL method. Some are great reads from other parents and others expand on what we’ve already talked about regarding the in’s and out’s of this successful method. Never a bad idea to read from as many resources as you can and discover some new sites in the process.

Make sure you make it all the way to the bottom of the post for details on how you can enter to win our last copy of Dr. Naomi Steiner’s book-”7 Steps to Raising a Bilingual Child.”
