I know of a Mexican woman living in San Francisco whose native language is
Spanish. She knows very little English, and can't read in either language.
Is it better for her to learn to read in Spanish before learning to read
English, or should she focus on learning to both speak and read English,
which is her ultimate goal? Or is there some combination of the two that she
should try?

Thank you,

Jill
