Children who can switch back and forth between languages have accomplished something special. We should praise and support them as they work for this achievement. See Resources for multiple language books . Activities What follows are ideas for language activities. You can do them with your child to help her build the skills she needs to become a reader.
Most public libraries offer free use of books, magazines, videos, computers, and other services.
Other things you might need for these activities are not expensive. For each set of activities, we show an age span suggesting when children should try them. Remember that children don't always learn the same things at the same speed. And they don't suddenly stop doing one thing and start doing another just because they are a little older. So, the ages given are just rough guides for you to use as your child learns and grows.
