CCBC-NET Digest for Wednesday, August 21, 2013.
1. Alphabetter: Concept Books
First, let me thank you Megan for the work you do. I find the CCBC Net discussions extremely interesting.
The subject matter for the second part of August is very timely. I've been thinking about developing an idea I have for a Spanish language ABC. I recently found out that many Latino kids entering Kindergarten in the US do not know their ABC's. My experience informs me that a Spanish speaking child that knows the Spanish ABC, may make the leap to reading faster than an English speaking child, since Spanish is a phonetic language. Once the child decodes, he/she can transfer the skills to English. So, my question to librarians and educators that deal with this population is:
Is there room/need for a Spanish ABC in libraries and/or classrooms? You may answer me directly to luludela_at_verizon.net
Most thankful for any insight. ЎUn millуn de gracias!
