Are you a French or Spanish playgroup? We can bring a small selection of our books to you.
Are you an English background playgroup and would like to expose your children to another language? Contact us and let’s organise a bilingual story time.
There are many benefits to exposing children to a different languages. Our story times are the perfect setting, we sing songs with actions that children are familiar with in English and the stories are read in French or Spanish and in English. The sessions are interactive as children ‘help’ me read the books.
For Perth metro only.
Does your school teach French and Spanish? We offer school incursions.
Our activities are adapted to the age and language proficiency of the children.
All activities reflect the French or Spanish culture, games played during recess, art activities inspired by famous painters, fashion shows, amazing races, and other fun games. The activities are interactive and engaging.
Perfect for occasions like Harmony Week or Languages Week.

We will all know it is difficult to raise bilingual children in a country where English is the dominant language.
Here are a few strategies that will help you pass on your language with books. Let’s get started raising bilingual readers.
Read Aloud Regularly: Set aside time each day for reading sessions in your language. This not only builds language skills but also creates a bonding experience.
Choose Language Books (including bilingual). They will still be useful when your child starts reading on his own.
Incorporate Cultural Stories: Use books that reflect the culture associated with your language. This can help children develop an appreciation for their heritage and understand the context in which the language is used.
Encourage Repetition: Reading the same book multiple times can help reinforce vocabulary and concepts. Children often enjoy familiarity, and repetition aids memory.
Discuss the Story: After reading, engage your child in discussions about the story in both languages. Ask questions, encourage them to summarise, or express their thoughts to enhance comprehension and fluency.
Create a Language-Rich Environment: Surround your child with books in your language. A diverse library encourages exploration and reinforces language learning naturally.
Use Storytelling: Encourage your child to retell stories in their own words. This practice helps them use the language creatively and boosts their confidence.
Involve Family Members: If possible, involve family members or friends who speak the language. They can read together, share stories, and provide additional language exposure.
By integrating these practices into daily routines, you can effectively use books to reinforce and pass on your language, helping your children thrive in a bilingual environment.
