DJ sure took his
time before beginning to speak Spanish (at school), but he didn’t waste any
time before applying the pre-reading skills he’s being taught in jardinera –
and starting to read (quite fluently!) in Spanish.
I’d been trying to
focus on teaching him to read English fluently first, basing my decision, in
part, on the fact that E did so. (And then, when halfway through K-5 and while
on a Christmas trip to Uruguay, she figured out the basics of reading Spanish
for herself!) Now DJ seems to be keeping the two languages safely separate and –
without apparent interference or confusion – he continues to learn the basics
of reading English, too.
The following little video
clip gives a glimpse of his developing ability
in Spanish!
Y ahora Dani lee en español también. ♥
