Parents/teachers, want children to read? Let them read what they want. Even comics! Comic books avg 53.5 rare words per thousand, compared with 30.9 rare words per thousand in children's books, and 52.7 in adult books. Learning to read should be enjoyable!

Instead of looking at children as having no English, let’s look at them as having all these languages. Lets focus on their language resources and use them effectively. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇫🇷 🇸🇴 🇧🇩 #multilingual #superpower

Why do we continue to use the term “ foreign languages”? They are not foreign to some. Or from outer space. Can we agree that we should call it World Languages? Please, por favor, si’l vous plaît, bitte? 😜
