Language Lizard Update

World Folktales and Fables Week
World Folktales and Fables Week

This year, World Folktales and Fables Week will be celebrated March 18-24.

Reading world folktales and fables is not only a wonderful way to entertain and bond with children, it is also an effective way to educate them. The stories in classic folklore offer social lessons, as well as an opportunity to teach kids about cultures and languages. Folktales and fables are particularly enticing with their simple characters and settings, a conflict set early in the story, and their moral lessons. We see good triumph over evil; cunning and ingenuity used to solve problems or outwit an adversary.

Bilingual folktales from around the world have the added benefit of encouraging children to practice second language skills while teaching them about other parts of the world.
Be sure to enjoy a good folktale at home and in your classroom! Use #WorldFolktales on social media, and tell us about your favorite folktales and fables. We’re also offering a discount on our favorite folktales and fables in the Subscriber’s Special section below.

Can Babies Learn a Foreign Language Outside of the Home?

Researchers from the University of Washington wanted to explore whether babies as young as 7 months could begin learning a second language, even when their families weren’t teaching them at home. During their study, they found evidence that very young children can start learning a second language with only one hour of play and "infant-directed speech" per day with a tutor.
