[quote=Anonymous]We have been struggling with this also. We have a 3rd grader in Spanish immersion. He has always grumbled about reading in Spanish at home, but at least he used to get pretty much a full day of Spanish in school. Now that extra reading is more crucial. He finds Raz Kids boring but I like it because I know the level and we are trying to increase his proficiency. He prefers translations of his favorite book series like Wimpy Kid, but at least that's reading something he enjoys.

We have considered an online tutor to keep up with spoken language but haven't done it yet. There are a lot of online tutors available from many countries through various organizations. We haven't settled on one yet, but for the summer it will be even more important.

One thing is that we are all in the same boat. When we are back in school, most of the kids will be lagging a little more than usual. It's the kids who aren't really doing anything at home who will really suffer from this. If we are online next fall, hopefully the schools will have more classes in Spanish.
