"One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way."-Frank Smith. As an Educator, I believe that learning how to speak in two languages will open the doors to success. Being fully bilingual in Spanish and English can give a child an opportunity to communicate and socialize with other kids their age. Reading every day is essential for building reading skills, vocabulary, and life-long reading habits. The more time students spend reading at his or her independent level, the better reader he or she will become.
