Casi la mitad de los niños no leen al nivel que deberían

In this Univision Edición Digital California segment, Early Edge Executive Director Patricia Lozano discusses the importance of fostering literacy at an early age and strategies parents can implement to support their young bilingual learners.

Patricia Lozano Executive Director

“It is very important that parents can continue reading in their native language, which can be Spanish and also in English, both. It is very important to keep [speaking] Spanish at home as it also helps them speak English.

“Es muy importante que los padres puedan seguir leyendo en su idioma materno, que puede ser español y también en inglés, los dos. Es muy importante mantener el español en casa ya que también les ayuda a hablar inglés.”
