NABU Helps Kids Learn To Read With Stories That Speak Their Language
HP News, February 1st, 2023
Some of our earliest childhood memories are centered around the well-loved storybooks our parents read to us or we paged through on our own or listened to in read-aloud sessions in kindergarten.
You probably still remember your first favorite book - maybe you've even passed a copy along to your own kids such as Goodnight Moon? The Snowy Day? The Very Hungry Caterpillar? Where the Wild Things Are?
Now imagine: What if those childhood books were written in words in a language you didn't hear at home, one that you didn't even dream in? How would that have shaped your associations with books and reading in general?
