The Read Lab is wrapping up our 2-year study of which types of bilingual books best help Spanish and English learning children of different ages and stages grow their vocabularies. If you live close to Santa Clara and you’ve got a 3- to 5-year-old at home who like learning Spanish and English words, let us know! (email: childresearch@scu.edu) We’re giving bilingual books away to our volunteers, but only for one more month!
We’ll be spending the winter analyzing all the data that our junior scientists have been helping us with on this project.. so stay tuned this Spring for a summary of our findings, and in the meantime.. tell us what your favorite bilingual book is!
