Bilingual Materials
We categorize our bilingual books as:
• Dual-text books: readers that contain the same text in both English and another
language in the same book.
• Multiple-text books: books that contain the same text in more than two languages. These are
listed at the end of this booklist.
Some dual-text books are available in a large number of languages (mostly children’s books and books
for use in multilingual family literacy contexts) and these are also listed at the end of this booklist.
Bilingual Materials
We also have books that are available only in another language: these are mostly books in Somali,
Swahili and some Southern African languages and they are listed in Catalog 6, Books in African
Languages.
All the books in this list are in paperback format unless stated otherwise.
A NOTE ON SPELLING: The names of some of the languages in this list may be spelled in more than
one form when they are written in English. Our use of a particular spelling reflects the form being used
most often in the books we are listing.
The books in this list are presented by language. If the book is featured in the Multiple Language
section at the end, the information about the book is presented there, once, and is not listed repeatedly
under each language. This includes the dual-text children’s books.
