That might be doable, especially if you wanted to work on their translation skills, since many articles articles are either in one language or the other, but there is often no sharing of information between the two languages. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should send them to the larger articles, but if you saw fit, you could easily find a few fun articles that they might be interested in and go from there.

A possibly complementary option could also be a pursued with a Wikimedia sister project other than Wikipedia, such as Wikibooks, where for example this has been developed by elementary school kids and their parents: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Elementary_Spanish On Sat, Dec 28, 2013 at 2:10 PM, Teresa Cordova <[email protected]> wrote: I teach in Norwood, at Kehillah Schechter Academy.
