Should you read to your children in Spanish?

   Will reading to children in Spanish confuse them and make it harder for them to read in English?  The answer is no.  While it is important for them to learn English, research shows that children who are read to in Spanish will have an easier time learning to read in English than children who are not read to at all.  Read books to your child on a daily basis, talk about the stories, play rhyming games, and teach them new words.  A love of reading and words is a valuable gift to children in all languages.
