Here are a few suggestions:<\/p><ol><li>Ask families to bring in any materials related to the current Little Sponges adventure. Review these items with your class before or after watching Little Sponges.<\/li><li>Have families volunteer to read books in your language combination, supporting in-kind vocabulary.<\/li><li>Encourage parents and guardians to review and practice the vocabulary in both languages with their children at home. They do not need to be bilingual themselves to be a part of their child\u2019s bilingual journey! Siblings, parents, and the student will all benefit from integrating Little Sponges into their home
