和孩子一起读绘本“Just Mommy and Me ”

by Tara Jaye Morrow ; illustrated by Katy

      这是一本妈妈和宝宝温馨而甜蜜的故事。 猴妈妈带着猴宝宝在外面游玩一天的经历。 非常适合初接触英语的亲子共读。 下面就举例说明如何来读这本绘本。 （英文部分是书中的文字， 中文部分都是在读的过程中需要父母做的动作， 不是告诉孩子的话）读的时候慢一些， 一些句子还可以重复读一下。带感情的读， 柔和的读。

读完之后，可以和孩子一起玩玩
hide-and –seek， let's play hide-and -seek, you hide first, I will not peek!
还可以做一些动作 clapping, and singing and jumping and dancing ......
当然读一遍只能让孩子理解一个大概其， 不可能每句话都明白个透。故事里的句子韵律感很强， 孩子会喜欢这种韵律的声音的。故事可以在孩子喜欢的时候多读几遍， 每次读的时候妈妈辛苦一些，手指或做一些相关的动作。 慢慢故事熟悉了，再扩展到画面上都有些什么动物。。。。。。也可以和孩子来个你说上句，孩子接下句， 妈妈读，孩子指， 孩子做相关的动作等， 慢慢加深孩子对故事的理解。
