A bilingual French-English friend who is raising her daughter bilingual French-English too suggested the other day (we’re all in confinement at home during the pandemic right now) that my 9½-year-old daughter could read an English book to her 3½-year-old. My daughter was thrilled. She chose a book and read it about six or seven times aloud for practice the night before our Skype call. I recorded one of the last practice sessions.

I Am Going by Mo Willem

The read-aloud was a success, to be repeated, maybe next week. Stay tuned.
