Learning to Read
Reading always came easy to me. I never did like to read because I always had a very high pitched voice and I never was confident either, even though I read well. The only time I found myself having trouble to read was when I went to school in Puerto Rico and I began to read in spanish. I felt it was so much harder because the pronunciation were different every time. I was accustomed to reading english and that always messed me up. I remember that I was always the one helping my younger brother and sister with reading and even my own mom because she was born in Puerto Rico.

There are many interesting things that come into play when reading, thinking, and learning in more than one language. In many ways, we're just beginning to understand the impact your literacy abilities in one language have on the development in another -- but one thing we do know is that being able to read well in your native tongue makes a difference when learning a new language.
