Writing out a child’s story is a great way to let a really little one get his creative juices flowing.
I love reading to my daughter. Although my Spanish is not as accomplished, as I hope my daughters will be, simple books for children are an easy way to get across a Spanish lesson from a teacher who is limited.
I read that more books a child has in their house directly correlates to their vocabulary/intelligence. I wonder if the same holds true for Spanish books and a child’s ability to speak Spanish.

Funny how my blog post this week includes a reading of a bilingual book that goes hand-in-hand with our bilingual song. Reading is the key to success in life, and this entire series on homeschooling has been helpful for thousands I am sure.

I’ve read to my girls since they were newborns and I can already see how much of an impact it has on my 2.9 year old. Not only do children gain a tremendous amount of vocabulary but they also find ways to make connections about the world and their own lives. My daughter’s favorite books at this stage are books about young children doing pretty normal everyday things, experiences she can relate to. I love the idea of letting her create her own story.

For anyone who’s interested in learning more about the importance and value of reading to young children Jim Trelease’s The Read Aloud Handbook is wonderful. It gives you great examples of the benefits of reading. And it’s more than just teaching to read but really instilling a love of reading, making it a part of your family’s culture.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this series. I would love to homeschool but the task seems daunting just considering doing it in English and twice as challenging to do it bilingually!

Thank you for this =)
