▲《Oliver》
Oliver traveled to seas just to be able to work in the circus, but the circus rejected him.
The lonely Oliver constantly searches for his own value in human society, but he is repeatedly frustrated.
The zoo does not need him for the time being, nor does it allow humans to be pets, and mounts that become human beings like horses have failed;
Later, he met a group of children and had a good time playing with them.
As he danced for the children, his graceful dancing style attracted the attention of countless people; because of this, he was invited to work in the circus and fulfilled Oliver's wish.
Intensive reading refers to meticulous reading to help children enjoy listening to stories on the basis of understanding picture books.
The conventional method is to use the "finger map + body language" method to help children understand the English story, and the transition and interpretation can be interspersed with Chinese/English to achieve higher reading coherence and improve the fun of parent-child reading.
First, look at the cover of the picture book with the child, observe and describe what is on the cover, and arouse the child's curiosity about the story.
From the cover we can see a huge gray elephant, which is oliver, the protagonist of the story.
Oliver's nose was like a long slide from which a group of kids slid down and they and Oliver were having a good time.

Some elephants came across the ocean (simulating the movement of a boat floating on the surface of the sea with your hand) on a ship.
Where do elephants go by boat?
They were going to work in the circus.
One elephant's name was Oliver. Among them, there is an elephant called Oliver. Which one?
When they landed, the circus man counted them:
“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten elephants.” (Count the elephants in the graph in turn)
……
The following content can be described in a similar way.
After reading the picture book 1-2 times, listening to the picture book audio can help children deepen their impression of the picture book content.
Intensive listening refers to listening attentively, parents and children together, while listening to the audio while reading picture books, when the child does not turn to the corresponding page, parents timely assistance.
Intensive listening can be done 1-2 times after parent-child reading.
Pan-listening allows you to listen to the audio as a background tone without having to flip through the books.
With the foundation of intensive reading and intensive listening, children have an understanding of picture books, and then through a large number of general listening, children's English listening ears can be exercised and the content of picture books can be consolidated.
Parents are advised to copy the audio of the picture book to the player, which can be carried out during fragmented times such as children playing with toys, bathing, and on the way to and from school.
