| Sumario: | This article examines the efficacy of read-aloud programs for bilingual students, specifically children in Calca, Peru who use Quechua and Spanish. Research indicates reading aloud can increase literacy and reading comprehension skills. The authors are interested in read-alouds in bilingual indigenous communities due to their traditional emphasis on oral culture. The research hopes to determine if the read-aloud program had an impact on reading skills and vocabulary development. They found a significant gap between students in the experimental program and those in the control group. |
