Abstract

The hispanic child in the United States is under a constant linguistic and cultural agression and therefore in danger of losing not only his language but his cultural identity. The best source that bilingual programs have to awaken in children love for their language and pride in their heritage is to teach them to read efficiently at an early age and to develop their linguistic ability by means of the rich folkloric literary tradition in the Hispanic language. This article gives suggestions as to how to incorporate children literature and traditional oral literature to the Language Arts program. Entre todos me la hicieron, habla que habla, sonando, suena que suena, canta que canta… P. Salinas (Verbo)
