Spanish term or phrase: A esta situación se le suma la falta de acompañamiento
Es triste pero real, nuestros educando no les gusta leer y por ello se evidencia un bajo rendimiento académico en ello. A esta situación se le suma la falta de acompañamiento que ellos presentan en su medio familiar o con las personas a su cargo.
Thanks for any neat suggestions.
