Keys to Avid Reading
Reading is a sophisticated, complex process that can be very ambiguous for a bilingual child. Learning to read is not that simple, unless you define reading as just memorizing the alphabet and combining letters into syllables and later into words. This mechanical skill of building symbols into words can never replace the ability to actually perceive the text and discover its emotional and stylistic nuances.
