52 Ways to help your child
Bilingual Education
If your child studies English as a second language:
- Provide the opportunity to listen to songs, poems, stories, or plays in English through the use of tapes, television and radio.
- Read to your child in the home language. Doing so will help prepare them to learn to read in English.
If your child is learning a foreign language:
- Ask the local bookstore clerk if there are games or flash cards in that language. Borrow simple foreign-language tapes (recommended by the teacher) from the public library.
- Encourage your child to acquire a "pen pal" in a country or from another school district which is of particular interest to the child or the language being studied.
