I didn't know anything about raising a bilingual child - I kind of figured you just talk to him in the language! But there's oh-so-much more to it than that! So it really helped me get clear about how I was going to go about it. <br />As for the second book, it's been quite a while since I've looked at it (I think it's still packed away in a box from our move last summer....) But as I recall, it had more stories based on a lot of case studies. It was really quite interesting. As I said, I'd like to pick it up again at one point... when I find it :)<br />Hope that's helpful to you! -- KateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047925902157198542.post-41008169054005264982012-02-02T23:43:28.060-08:002012-02-02T23:43:28.060-08:00Thanks Kate!

Yeah, I thought that the website hadn´t been updated for awhile and was going to mention that but didn´t want to do anybody an injustice!!!Apart from Growing Up with Two Languages, I haven´t really read any other books but was thinking about geting Raising a Bilingual Child,hadn´t heard of the other book you mention.Would you reccommend either of them? Although like you say, this fabulous blogging community gives you lots of ideas too...I hadn´t heard about Environmental print before reading someone´s post about it!The Wandering Pithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283549344297520868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047925902157198542.post-77775867567590577482012-02-02T19:25:47.732-08:002012-02-02T19:25:47.732-08:00Okay, I'm really impressed!

It seems to have some useful info, but did you notice it hasn't been updated since 1998? Yikes! :) <br />What other books have you read? I read "7 Steps to Raising Bilingual Children" (Naomi Steiner et al) while I was pregnant. And I have "Raising a Bilingual Child" (Barbara Zurer Pearson), but I haven't gotten too far into it. If found the first book to be good for learning about my options for the method I wanted to use (OPOL, etc). But honestly, I haven't done a whole lot of research! I rely a lot on this fabulous blogging community for inspiration and ideas. I look forward to hearing more about the resources you find!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
