Abstract | In Texas and other border states, the increasing numbers of Hispanic students magnifies the numbers of non-English speakers or limited English speakers. The statewide Texas distribution of students revealed that 58% of all students are minority students, with Hispanics making up the largest minority group, 40.6% of all students. This paper discusses the value of using translated and bilingual literature with Hispanic students. For the purposes of the paper, "Hispanic," the term used by the U.S. Census Bureau, Office of Educational Research and Improvement, and the Texas Education Agency, will be used; bilingual literature will refer to Spanish/English books or dual language publications available in both Spanish and English. Four awards that specifically target the literature of other languages translated into English and Hispanic literature are the paper's focus--the Mildred L. Batchelder Award, the Pura Belpre Award, the Americas Award for Children and Young Adult Literature, and the Tomas Rivera Mexican American Children's Book Award. The paper contains sections on translated award books, on bilingual award books, and on using translated and bilingual books with children. Cites 10 translated award books and 22 bilingual award books. (Contains 15 references.) (NKA) |
