In My First Look at Italian, beginning readers follow the narrative of an Italian-speaking character through a typical day. Labels on real-life photos introduce common Italian words. Each label lists the English word, as well as the Italian word and its pronunciation. An introduction gives more insight into the language, and a guide at the beginning of the book teaches readers and caregivers how to navigate the book’s features. Translations of colors, numbers, and common phrases further teach readers useful Italian language terms. Children can learn more about Italian online using our safe search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. My First Look at Italian also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a table of contents, and an index.
