[aisle] Spanish/Dual Language books for PK-2 and their parents and a shameless plug asking for help and teaming up

[Todd Freer]

Good morning knowers of Literacy! -
We are going into year 2 of our Dual Language School (PK -2) but year one of actually using the library for classes and such. We have ordered many new books, ordered some size appropriate furniture and tables, and know, over the summer, I'd like to read and collect more for them.

Here is my two part question:

  1.  We'd like to develop a "for parent" section in our library -- maybe a shelf or two, maybe a cart or two? What should be on it? Many of my parents are first generation in the US and their kids were born here. What may be of use to have for them?
  2.
  3.  This may sound like a strange question, but, here goes.....What do your kids (PK - 2, Dual Language) kids like to read? What are their go - tos? We ordered a lot of Spanish Books, a lot of NF, Graphic Novels, and picture books.  Are there things in English that I could read to familiarize myself with those things, especially if they have translated copies that they could read in Spanish but we could talk about with me having read the English?

As usual, I appreciate you, your support, your knowledge, and your suggestions.
One final thing. If you're on Twitter, look me up at @MrLMC. I'm trying to fight literacy by creating home libraries for my kiddos. Maybe we can help each other? There's a decently long post I made yesterday. Maybe, with a little luck and some good contacts, we can do something good.

Happy summer, happy 4th/5th.
--Todd
