90 Reading: The Sport of Champions!
Bilingual Programs Chapter
¡La lectura: el deporte de campeones!
By Alexandra Corona and Paula Gonzales
Note: The authors of this chapter have provided translations of songs, fingerplays, and rhymes
in English and Spanish. The translators will allow non-Spanish speaking librarians, staff, and
volunteers to understand the meaning of the Spanish material, although the translations do not
necessarily maintain the poetic cadence or rhyme of the traditional Spanish verses.
