Bilingual Storytime - questions from webinar Carol Kotsch 2009-10-13T19:41:46Z 2009-10-13T19:41:46Z

At the Evergreen Branch Library&#039;s bilingual storytime, I read two stories in English, and my assistant reads one in English first, and then in Spanish. Sometimes my stories may have a few words of English, and we always try to include some fingerplays in Spanish.<br /><br />CArol Kotsch<br />Children&#039;s Librarian<br />Evergreen Branch<br />Wichita, KS
