WE PLAY SOCCER / JUGAMOS AL FÚTBOL
RENE COLATO LAINEZ / NOMAR PEREZ
Joe speaks English. He loves soccer. José habla español. A José le gusta el fútbol. This story is in English and Spanish!
Hola, Joe. Hi, José.
I have my uniform. Tengo mi uniforme.
I am ready. Estoy listo.
Two boys, an English speaker and a Spanish speaker, are on the same soccer team. They have their uniforms and their cleats. They can both juggle the ball. At first, the boys must wait on the bench. But when the coach lets them in the game, both Joe and José score goals. We win, says Joe. Ganamos, says José.
Perfect for preschoolers, kindergarteners, and first and second graders who are learning to speak or read English and Spanish. A delightful reading experience for bilingual families.
René Colato Laínez, a teacher in a bilingual kindergarten classroom, has crafted an ingenious story that authentically and naturally uses conversation to introduce children to English and Spanish. The fun friendship story engages children, while simple words, short sentences, and a glossary reinforce learning.
Nomar Perez, illustrator of best-selling childrens books as well as greeting cards, has a bright, bold, colorful, kid-pleasing style that invites readers to befriend the characters in this book.
René was raised in El Salvador and Nomar in Puerto Rico.
