Bilingual reading allows the mixture of both books and language. Through reading we become acquainted with new places, new cultures, and new worlds. Through language we go to these places we've never been before and become part of this world.
Like the voyager in this picture, the reader steers the oars in the direction he will go, for the reader is the true compass of the journey.
As rivers vary from deep or shallow to narrow or wide, so does bilingual reading from bilingual books for children to side-by-side bilingual short stories and novels.
The multitude of novels, picture books and short stories that exist is immeasurable. Discovering and locating those materials, on the other hand, is a whole other story.
A good starting place is the local library. Much like visiting towns along the shoreline, you can check out and preview different items without actually committing to the merchandise. Furthermore, inter-library-loans allow you to check out books that your local library may not have.
Once you find items that you like, various methods for finding your own copy abound. Amazon is always an option for finding used copies at great prices. At the same time, Barnes and Noble and Scholastic are just two options for finding new copies.
No matter where you find them, bilingual books are a voyage to a whole new world.
Where do you find your bilingual books?
