- gizmondo 5y agoHow actively did you try to teach them to do that?
- coolspot 5y agoThey did go into a Russian child care where they learned basic reading/writing. But after they went into US elementary school, we didn’t want to interfere with their English learning, so without practice they have lost reading/writing skills, but still can speak.
