I am having th esame issues. I've been getting picture books
and showing them stories without words. THen had their
paretns send in pictures of small moments (vacations, fav.
places, etc.) They labeled poeple they were with, setting,
etc. Drawing pictures is the start of learning language. Do
they have a buddy in the class that speaks theri language??
