Fostering a minority language at home can be done through reading and listening to stories: either by reading aloud or listening to stories for your pre-reader or providing books for your young reader. Here are a number of links which review and recommend books in the English language at various levels (picture books, early readers, chapter books, middle grade novels) as well as a few podcasts to listen to stories or learn more about children’s books. We are also happy to hear your recommendations.
