"Dieu a fait ceci / Dios hizo esto" is a French/Spanish bilingual
book for children. The current volume is Level 1 intended for
infants to toddlers. Their are four levels for each volume, graded
according to age group. This juvenile non-fiction book for
bilingual reading development is an educational tool rather than a
story book. It includes single words and pairs of words for the ear
training of infants as well as toddlers. The pictures help infants
to associate sounds with symbols--images at first and ultimately
words at the toddler level and beyond. Toddlers will be able to
repeat words, word pairs, phrases, and brief sentences aided by the
picture cues. They will gradually be able to read the words using
the printed word as their cue. Color photos and illustrations were
carefully selected to captivate the child's interest. Words and
sentences were judiciously chosen and crafted to facilitate the
learning or reading skills and second language skills for both age
groups. Words are re-entered throughout the book to aid
comprehension and to help the child feel a sense of accomplishment.
With a systematic phonetic program in each volume of the bilingual
books series, some words were chosen for the sound(s) they
represent rather than their meaning. This volume presents images of
the natural world around us and are of high interest to young
children. The natural environment, earth, sky, water features,
animals, flowers, fruits, vegetables, and a variety of types of
people are included. The book teaches that "God made this." It is
suggested that only one language be read at a time. Start with the
child's first or "native" language for several reading sessions,
then introduce the second language. At no time should the two
languages be read during the same reading session. This volume
should be of interest to French and Spanish speakers who want to
teach their child(ren) those languages. In addition, speakers of
English and other languages will find the book useful for teaching
their child(ren) both French and Spanish. The books are ideal for
day care centers, preschools, and elementary schools that offer or
wish to include bilingual education or ESL in their educational
programs. The books in the series present a thorough bilingual
program with a wide range of age groups represented in the four age
levels, infant through early elementary school, and in the number
and variety of topics that include many of those typical of reading
education programs. Whenever possible photos rather than
illustrations are used to make the topics more meaningful and
realistic to children. The reading level obviously and
appropriately increases from one level to the next. In addition,
the reading level from one volume (topic) to the next increases
very slightly. In this way a toddler (level 2), for example,
starting with volume 1 and continuing in volume number order for
all or most volumes will be well-prepared to begin the series at
the preschool level (level 3). These juvenile non-fiction bilingual
books ideally would be presented to the child, at home or in an
educatiional setting, as a collection or program rather than as a
few random books in order to reap the greatest benefits from the
carefully and pedagogically crafted series of bilingual books for
children. The BISAC Category is JNF049200 Juvenile Nonfiction /
Religious / Christian / Early Readers.
