REFORMA (Association  to promote Library & Information Services to Latinos 
and the Spanish            Speaking) a branch of the ALA can help you. Here's a 
link to their home  page: _http://www.reforma.org/_ (http://www.reforma.org/)  
 

I  would also recommend the author Alma Flor Ada. She writes books for  
children in both languages. Buena suerte! (Good luck!)

Subject: Materials in Spanish

I  have a question regarding bilingual book materials. My library has very 
books  that are bilingual. Our school population has now grown to almost 20 % 
Hispanic  and I am anxious to add to ou collection for their needs.  Can anyone  
suggest a good resource for evaluating bilingual books. Becuase I do not read 
 Spanish I am struggling. I have been told that often times the Spanish  
translation is much more difficult. Also, I am considering purchasing the AR  
tests that go with these books and was hoping to get some  opinions.

Thanks,
