STEM to the rescue
Give the gift of multilingualismAt Language Magazine, we believe that every child deserves the opportunities offeredby speaking multiple languages and the first step to realizing that dream is the intro-duction of additional languages to babies and toddlers just as their cognition systemsare developing. Research shows that children are naturally inclined to speak morethan one language. Levi's Book of Barnyard Animals is the perfect tool to introduceother languages to babies and toddlers to help prevent monolingual programming.This 6" x 6" board book also enables monolingual parents and caregivers to open achild's mind to other languages through natural curiosity. It even comes with down-loadable audio files for each language so you can get the pronunciation right. Levi'sBook of Barnyard Animals contains the following languages: • Arabic • Chinese • Eng-lish • French • German • Hebrew • Japanese • Korean • Portuguese • Russian • Spanish• Swedish.
This holiday season, give the gift of multilingualism by buying two copies of Levi’sBook of Barnyard Animals for only $7.95 each. Shipping is only $2 per copy anywherein the U.S. For overseas, the book is only $15.95 with shipping. State tax applies to Cali-fornia residents.
