4. Seek out educational websites.
The bilingual website, ¡Colorín colorado!, is for reading and learning in both languages. You can also learn more about Latino authors and illustrators such as Rafael López, Lulu Delacre, Pat Mora, and more. The website has tabs in the left-hand column to get the information in both English and Spanish.
My favorite tip on this list is the last one — COMIDA!! Food really helps to connect with one’s culture… i would add one more, MUSICA!! my son is 17 months and he shakes his bonbon to cumbia, vallenato and some oldies Abuela puts on for him!!
You know what also works? Watching traditional comedy shows! Kids love to laugh and find jokes appealing so they want to imitate them. Watching El Chavo del Ocho works wonders!
Your articule was so inspiring! It motivates me to continue with my mission to raise two bilingual kids;) THKS!
