I was so happy to find out that Ingenio, one of our long-time sponsors, has added two more learning puzzles to their already impressive list of bilingual toys. One of Mexico, which Ana Lilian wrote about last week, and the other one of Puerto Rico. While I don’t hail from either country, I’ve very strong ties to both of them.

While I wished I had all the time in the world to do just that as often as she’d like to, life pulls me in way too many directions. That’s why I was absolutely thrilled when I found Lorito Books.

Most kids, mine included, are naturally musical, and using music to create a bilingual environment is an organic way to foster language learning. So I’m always on the lookout for additions to our playlist, and am happy to say that this will stay in heavy rotation. If you’re looking for some new tunes en español, you can’t go wrong with “Cha, Cha, Cha!” Not only is Cha Cha Cha fun to listen to, it really does teach Spanish to bothRead More ...
