THE KEY TO RAISING A BILINGUAL CHILD

The key to raising a bilingual child is YOU! Research has shown that the parent-child interaction is the best indicator of language acquisition during the early development years between infancy and 5 years of age. The Bilingual Beginnings system is designed to foster the interaction that the child needs with a parent in order to acquire language. Hearing parents read and speak throughout the day will help a child learn the sounds in words, put together words to make sentences, and learn language.

The Bilingual Beginnings Language Learning System contains four levels that grow along with the child in that they build upon the knowledge learned from previous level(s).


Designed to introduce new words and sounds with a three-step system		Designed to help the young learner build phrases and sentences		Designed to build conversation skills		Designed to teach the basics of grammar

Each product is interactive, allowing the parents to play a significant role in the language development of their child. All products are bilingual. Research in early child development has suggested that earlier exposure to a second language is often more beneficial than later exposure. This exposure must be regular and sustained for maximum benefit.

With the Bilingual Beginnings Language Learning System, parents and caregivers have the interactive cognitive development products to help foster the love of reading, the acquisition of language and the desire to learn new concepts in their child.

Enrichment activities for Level 1 of the Bilingual Beginnings Language Learning System are available.
