Read Me a Rhyme in Spanish and English/Leame Una Rima En Espanol E Ingles
This essential collection of Latino rhymes, songs, finger plays, and riddles offers a variety of flexible program ideas for babies, toddlers, prescholers, and school-age children "for whom Spanish is the language spoken in the home." Programs were developed by an experienced children's librarian who fully understands the needs of her colleagues serving Latino populations. In the first chapter, the author shares tips on how to reach the audience and to promote the programs, with instructions in English and Spanish. An appendix includes a list of the resources for each program, an annotated bibliography, a discography of music for children, and craft ideas. This volume can easily become a basic reference resource for English-speaking and bilingual librarians and teachers. Librarians who follow TreviÃ±o's recommendations can not only present successful bilingual storytimes, but also fulfill the educational and recreational needs of Latino parents and children who are trying to adjust themselves to a different culture.—Freda Mosquera, Broward County Library, FLCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
