Chinese New Year: 10% Off Discount & Free Resource for Parents & Teachers
Chinese New Year is on February 19, 2015. Celebrate this special holiday, at home and in the classroom, with the bilingual children’s book entitled Li’s Chinese New Year. Available in English and your choice of 10 different languages, the story follows Li, who is trying to decide what animal costume to wear to the school’s big New Year assembly. Will he be a fierce tiger or a strong ox? And what year will his new cousin be born in? Readers can find all twelve of the zodiac animals throughout the story, and discover facts and activities relating to the holiday at the back of the book.
If you will be teaching your students about Chinese New Year, be sure to check out our FREE standards-based lesson plan that includes this holiday’s history, traditions and the many languages spoken in China. This great resource was created by our friends at West Chester University of PA.

A New Year’s Resolution for Language Learners
 If your plans for 2015 include learning a new language with your kids, or passing on your native language to them, make a resolution to add a Self-Motivating Activity! Whether it’s foreign language, karaoke, reading comic books in another language, or a foreign language movie night, a self-motivating activity weaves language into your little one’s everyday life, and gives kids a new motivation to practice their vocabulary.
Our recent blog post features more about finding the right Self-Motivating Activity for your family.
