Why bilingual/Spanish text?Recent Findings…
L1 word reading skills transfer to L2, but children must have first language literacy in the skill for the transfer to take place: oral proficiency in the first language is not sufficient.
Vocabulary is an extremely important predictor of reading comprehension.

“Cultivo Una Rosa Blanca”
por José Martí
Cultivo una rosa blancaen julio como enero
para el amigo sinceroque me da su mano franca.
Y para el cruel que me arrancael corazón con que vivo,cardo ni ortiga cultivo;
cultivo una rosa blanca.

DANÇA por Eugénio de Andrade
Eram a delicadeza, a graça.
Mas também a fúria
da gataria ardendo nos telhados.
São jovens e dançam – formosos
como as dunas, os trigos, os cavalos.
