Cuentos de español y consejos de alfabetización: la repetición

Las Bibliotecas Públicas de Plano se complace en ofrecer una nueva hora de cuentos de inmersión en español. Estamos muy contentos de ampliar nuestros servicios a la inmersión lingüística completa para que nuestro tiempo de cuentos preescolar sea accesible para más familias.

Idealmente, esto sirve a niños de 3-5 años, pero está abierto para cualquier edad para ver y disfrutar. Ofrecemos un tema para cada cuento, junto con un consejo de alfabetización, canciones y otras actividades para apoyar su vocabulario, comprensión y su compromiso general con el mundo.

Nuestro consejo de alfabetización para esta semana es la repetición. La repetición es la mejor manera a ayuda a los niños aprender canciones, rimas, y aprender a leer. La repetición refuerza las partes del lenguaje como los sonidos y la estructura.

A continuación, se encuentran mis recomendaciones para libros y otros materiales que refuerzan la repetición.

In English:

Plano Public Library is thrilled to offer a new Spanish Immersion story time, a full language immersion to make our Preschool Storytime accessible to more families.

This serves children from ages 3-5 years ideally, but is open for any age to watch and enjoy. We provide a theme for each story time, along with a literacy tip, songs, and other activities to support their vocabulary, comprehension and their and overall engagement with the world.

Our early literacy tip for this week is repetition. Repetition is the best way to help your children learn songs, rhymes, and learn to read. Repetition reinforces parts of language like sounds and structure.

Below are recommendations for books and other materials that reinforce repetition.
