In the process of learning how to do English enlightenment for children in the past few days, I have read some books and been inspired by some. In Anne Flowers's "English Enlightenment That Cannot Be Missed: An English Roadmap for Chinese Children", a principle of book selection is mentioned: I PICK. The four points of concern are:
objective
interest
understand
know
The purpose, needless to say, is the reason for reading a book. Interest, whether or not you are interested in the subject of the book. Comprehension refers to whether you can understand the contents of the book, and whether the last one recognizes most of the words in the book.
In the process of English parent-child reading, one of these four principles is indispensable, especially the need to pay attention to "cognition". Before, I "turned a blind eye" to english parent-child reading, which was a failure at the level of words. Therefore, before preparing for parent-child reading in English, two sets of books were selected, one set of "WHo Am I" and the other set of "Magical English Word Game Book".
The content of "Who Am I" was shared in another article, and today I will share why I chose this set of "Magical English Word Game Books".
Learn the language in a relaxed situation
The Magic English Word Game Book is about learning English words and phrases in specific situations.
Kur, a professor at the University of Washington, once did an experiment. Professor Kuhl divides the babies of the 9-month-old English family into two groups of Chinese. One group is to let the children learn Chinese with real people, and the other group is to let the children watch videos of people reading. The result? Babies who read Chinese with real people learn pronunciation, while children who watch videos don't.
Children who read with real people learn language in specific situations, including eye contact. Chinese-american lexicographer Steven Kresshin points out that "understandable language input, real language environment, and low stress" are the three elements of children's natural language acquisition.
The Magical English Word Game Book consists of 6 volumes, including scenes that children are either familiar with or interested in:
"At Home"
"In Kindergarten"
"At the Zoo"
"On the Farm"
"In Town"
"By the Sea"
In these scenarios, starting with the story, correspond to the comprehensible words.
The content design in the "Magical English Word Game Book" allows children to have a better understanding of English words and phrases from the perspectives of "understandable language input and real language environment". Reading with adults at home is an achievable "low-stress" environment, which requires parents to be less utilitarian.
I have seen a mother who teaches her child to count in English, and the child cannot speak, and the mother is in a hurry. With the high volume of the mother, the 4 or 5-year-old children on the side fell into a state of silence when they saw it. Watching the child not say a word, the mother is even more anxious, and the volume is higher again.
In the family of English enlightenment, the first concern is not to let the child know how many words immediately, speak more fluent English, but to let the child feel the sense of English language, in the company of parents to fall in love with reading. Therefore, if you choose to do English enlightenment at home, as parents, we can calm our minds and enjoy the process of reading.
English. Reading is gold! In the book, it is mentioned that preschool children are in the stage of enlightenment listening and reading. Children at this stage are indispensable to the companionship of parent-child reading.
With this set of "Magical English Word Game Books", it is a good choice to start the enlightenment reading of English.
Drawings, drawings, drawings
How can children's childhood be without the company of pictures? Good pictures can not only improve the child's American quotient, but also be indispensable in the process of learning English. The Amazing English Word Game Book is a work by a French children's writer and illustrator. Exquisite pictures, children can't help but look at it.
Coincidentally, this set of "Magical English Word Game Books", my second eldest also read one or two of them in kindergarten, and saw that there was this set of books at home, and the children were very surprised.
Good pictures are indispensable good companions for children to learn English. English. Reading is gold! In the book, three English reading goals for preschoolers are shared:
1. Fall in love with reading
2. Develop the habit of reading
3. Establish the association of the sound map
To achieve these three goals, "pictures" books are a must. Children need to use pictures to understand words in the process of reading. The words of the "Magic English Word Game Book" correspond to the pictures one by one.
What is particularly appealing to children is the fact that there are a lot of games in it. The game in the book "In Kindergarten": Find your own shoes for the children
Discover the differences in the classroom
Map the number of items to cards
In Kindergarten, there are many different games. Let the child slowly fall in love with English reading in the game of "Magical English Word Game Book".
Choose the right book, English parent-child reading, in order to better persevere. Pictures, situations, parent-child reading, combined with these three reasons, so I chose this set of "Magical English Word Game Book". Whether it is for adults or children, the difficulty is just right. Pictures attract children, and games can make children feel bored. "Magical English Word Game Book" is a good choice for English parent-child reading.
If you want to do English parent-child reading, you may wish to pay attention to this set of "Magical English Word Game Book". In The Power of Reading, Klasson mentions that "time and method are two key variables for predicting the effect of reading." Time and methods are inseparable from the right books.
Let's choose the right children's books so that children can feel the joy of reading in English.
Happy reading.
