For those bilingual Hispanic parents looking for fun ways to get their kids more acquainted with their Hispanic culture, Jeannette Kaplun of Hispana Global shared her own back to schoolshopping list here to inspire you.

“Since I am teaching my kids Spanish, it’s a huge plus to be able to find my favorite Latin American books on Amazon.com,” says Kaplun. “Reading is truly a great way for kids to appreciate their Hispanic culture while also having fun learning to read and write in Spanish.”

In addition to shopping on Amazon for books in Spanish, Kaplun recommends trendy items that allow students to be as unique as they want, with great products at affordable prices. Here are a few of her favorites:

1. Personalize supplies to showcase your child´s style. Even plain binders and folders can look cool with a little creativity. Remember to label everything. The Brother P Touch label maker makes it easy!
2. Invest in quality pieces so they will last year-round.

   It pays off to invest a little more in quality pieces that your child will use the entire school year (and even beyond!). For boys, these Under Armour Men’s Rival Fleece Joggers are a wonderful choice, both in and out of school. Also, classrooms can be chilly, so this Champion Men’s Powerblend Fleece Pullover Sweatshirt is a must, too.   A denim jacket like AG Adriano Goldschmied Women’s Easy Ridged Twill Nancy Jacket is a classic that your teen can wear forever, and that you might want to steal. These PAIGE Women’s Hoxton Straight Ankle jeans  are also super trendy but have a great fit.
