  1. Hi Everyone, This is my first post, so I first just wanted to say that I am so excited to find somewhere that there are other families homeschooling their bilingual kids. I have felt pretty alone as we begin this adventure and it is so nice to find a place to go for support and advice. We are just beginning. My son is 4 and is jbilingual (English/Spanish). Right now his spoken language is about even in both. My husband only speaks to the kids in Spanish and I speak to them in English. However, as I teach him to read, which I do pretty much in English (once and a while we do a little Spanish reading), he is definately doing better reading in English. He is just in the early stages of beginning to read right now. He can read the first set of BOB books, and we are working our way through the Now I'm Reading! series 1 books. I would LOVE to find some equivelant easy reader books in Spanish but I have no idea where to even look. Anyone know of any? Right now the only resource I have for teaching him reading in Spanish is a workbook we picked up the last time we visited family in El Salvador. It goes through the letter sounds and has some practice sentences that we read, but he doesn't get as excited about reading the sentences as he does about reading the books. Sorry for the super long post. Thanks for taking the time. Tamara
