Infants and young children learn language skills through interactions with their parents and family members, as language is a form of communication to share feelings, thoughts, and ideas.  Literacy is also a skill that is learned through interaction with parents, family members, and educators. It is essential for young children to be cognizant of symbols and text, for them to be prepared for school.  In order to be ready for school, English Language Learners (ELLs) must learn how to identify colors, letters, and numbers when they enter Kindergarten.  Take a look at these bilingual books that foster school readiness to help young children on their path to academic success. Bilingual books are also used as an effective parent involvement opportunity for language development at home with English learners.

Lectura Books offers award-winning bilingual children’s books that educators and parents can use to help teach language and literacy skills to young children.  Reading bilingual books helps to increase the literacy and language skills, and helps to increase the bond between parents, educators, and young children.
