📚Wisdom Wednesday📚 Being biliterate is more than knowing two languages—it’s about building bridges. When children read and write in both languages, they deepen family connections, preserve culture, and strengthen identity. Language is love across generations.🫀 #bilingual

🐥Wisdom Wednesday🐥 Being biliterate means more than just reading in two languages—it builds stronger brains and bridges between cultures. Start early: Listening to bilingual books from infancy boosts vocabulary, comprehension, and cognitive flexibility.🧠 #bilingual #teach
