Some say we should speak Spanish at home and let school teach him English. As a teacher, I know that's the lazy way out. Plus, I know that it leaves the children far behind where they need to be when it comes to literacy. So I hope to use both languages at home.
However, I'm going to need to practice my pronunciation as much as possible. I found that reading aloud to my little man in Spanish really helps.
I asked for books from everyone that came to my baby shower instead of cards. One book we received was a bilingual version of The Little Red Riding Hood. The pages are in both English and Spanish. Love. It. So. Much. Not only do I get to practice pronunciation, but he gets to hear both languages. I'm planning on getting a bunch more!
