Research proven learning
Research shows that illustrations in storybooks play a powerful role in helping children learn a second language. By pairing visuals with key vocabulary, children can better understand and retain new words, as images provide concrete associations for abstract concepts. This dynamic storytelling environment keeps children engaged and allows them to connect spoken and visual elements, supporting deeper language acquisition. Studies confirm that interactive reading with illustrated books is an effective and engaging way to boost language learning
Making of lola and diego
Great care was taken in the character design to ensure inclusivity, blending both Hispanic and American stylistic influences. This thoughtful approach not only highlights the beauty of cultural diversity but also promotes representation of Hispanic heritage. By incorporating elements that resonate with both cultures, we aim to create relatable and authentic characters that reflect the rich tapestry of experiences within the community. This commitment to representation helps foster a sense of belonging and pride, encouraging young readers to embrace their own identities and the diverse world around them.
