I would like to share with you why to use bilingual books for children. In my opinion bilingual fairy tales helps children to improve their ability to read, while enjoying some of their favorite stories. It is a peaceful way how to start with English. What more, reading aloud is a great way to practice pronunciation. And both reading and hearing it in the two languages, helps children acquire an ear for the language and be able to understand conversation better.
Because my mother tongue is Czech, I´m going to show you some Czech-English bilingual fairy tales book, which I remember from my childhood. But of course you can find many bilingual books in other languages.
The book is called Fairy Tales in Czech and English and it contains eight classic fairy tales (The Snow Queen, The Little Mermaid, Hansel and Gretel, Thumbelina, The Ugly Duckling, Little Red Riding Hood, The Bremen Town Musicians, The Little Match-Seller) in Czech and English. The book is designed for teaching EAL children at home, in kindergartens and schools. On each page there are four separate words with pictures underneath the text with a phonetic transcription and translation.
