6,看图说话:(这是题外话, 既然想到就一并写下来,以后再整理)
有些孩子还不认识英文字母,可是已经跟着家长亲子共读过一段时间的英文绘本了, 可以进行这一步和第5步, 只不过是步骤和顺序上有差别:6-2(听家长讲解或者听音频)-5,因为本身不认字,这个听力实际上就是靠听大人朗读,看图说话,是我们很小就该训练的步骤: 主要通过看图说话我们能能够训练:观察能力、表达能力、推理能力、思考能力, 小一点的孩子,看图比较细,常常看得出我们看不到的细节, 这是他们的特点,如何利用这些特点,又如何引导他们从某一点看到big picture 呢? 我们可以用一些问题来引导孩子:What do you see? Do you see a boy? What is this boy doing? What's in his hand? What does he wear? What color is his shirt? ---- 最后,可能就归为:I see a boy playing a toy car. He is wearing a red shirt. 这样就可以帮助他看到大的画面,同时又提高他的表达能力,下次再看其它绘本的时候,他就会用前面学到的技巧来看图说话(中文也如此)。 再来就是推理能力、思考能力: why do you think the boy is crying? Do you see his car? Where is his car now? (假设,前面的画面转到另一个画面:同样穿红衣服的男孩在哭, 可是他为什么哭呢? 引导孩子思考,但不是漫无目的的, 先观察一下这幅图和前面一幅图的物品是否有改变? 然后,再引导孩子注意点到小汽车不见了, 那么小汽车是不是他哭的原因呢? ) 上面举例是一个很简单的例子, 有些绘本的内容不是显儿易见的, 需要小朋友一步步来推理, 那么这还需要孩子们注意一个顺序问题, 初级绘本中最常见的一个训练叫 sequence 的训练,即顺序训练, 比如 napping house,谁谁在谁身上,是以什么样的顺序进行的, 开始的时候我们就是用顺序卡来帮助孩子复述课文, 不需要和他们讲明白是什么样的叠放顺序,可是我们可以利用道具,比如玩偶或者积木,但是我们使用的道具一定要符合这个从大到小的特征, 帮助孩子从感性认识中建立自己的理性判断。 顺序也包括逻辑顺序(logical)、因果顺序(causal)等。
hi, I'm trying to use some questions to guide reader to understand what they are reading. And I have put the answers after questions. But remember answers from the reader are not neccessary to be exactly as mine. I did that just to give parents an example.
"I'm green," said Pete. " I want to be pink. Everyone else is."
Read the picture, let's find out the answers for the questions below:
Who is Pete? A: the alligator, because Pete said " he is green", and the alligator is the only green one in the picture;
Who is pink? A: those birds (or you can call the flamingos)
Why does Pete want to be pink? A: because everyone else is.
Who is everyone else? A: everyone else but Pete the alligator in the picture. They are flamingos.
"Don't worry, " said the others. " You probably aren't ripe yet. It takes longer for some."
What's the meaning of ripe? A: the meaning of ripe is fully grown up, like strawberry is green before it's ripe.
What is some? A: here some means someone.
What's the meaning of " it takes longer for some"? A: Like fruits take some time to be ripe, some fruit takes short time like a week, some fruit takes long time like 6 weeks. here means it takes longer time for someone than others.
"Is that true?" Pete wondered. " probably," they said. " Let's play in the sand!"
Wonder means want to know
Why did pete want to know if it's true? A: Because he was different, he wanted to be same.
Did others care? Why? A: no, they didn't care. Because they were same.
" Oh, no," cried Pete, " I have four feet. No one else has four feet."
What did Pete find out this time? A: He found out that he has four feet and every one else is two feet.
How did Pete find out he had four feet? A: He might found out that when he laid his back on the sand pits and his all four feet were up in the air. (read the picture and use some imagination)
" You're lucky, Pete," said the others. " Two, and two extra. C'mon, Let's go wading"
What were others' responses to Pete's discovery? A: they thought Pete was lucky to have two extra legs. and they didn't care at all.
When did everyone else find out that? A: After Pete told them his discovery, they all laid their back on the sand pits with two feet up in the air. ( once again, picture and imagination)
Pete tried to feel lucky. Before long he was having fun.
What were Pete and others doing on the picture? A: Others were wading in the water. Pete was jumping into the water.
Who was having more fun? Pete or others? A: I think Pete was having more fun, because he could jump and jumpping is more fun than just walking.
Did Pete find he is lucky? A: Maybe, he was having fun. He looked very happy.
"Stop!" said the others, laughing. "You're getting our feathers wet."
What did others say? A: They asked Pete to stop.
Why did they want Pete to stop? A: Because Pete's splashed water to wet their feathers.
Did they like to be wet? A: No, that's why they stopped Pete.
Did Pete like to be wet? A: Yes, he is totally in the water now.
Why was Pete not afraid to get wet? A: Maybe he has no feathers. (or, if you already know who alligator is, you would like to say: because he is a alligator and he can swim in the water.)
阅读问题反馈:Tim,目前熟练了Wemberly Worried,另一篇因为家里打印机的问题,目前还没开始看。就目前熟练的一篇出现的问题先提出:1、目前跟不上音频的阅读语速,但可以自己看着书阅读,速度一般。2、部分单词不认识,但会自己拼读。如:crack,radiator,chains,bolts,alway,especially,rub,enough, halloween,neighborhood,parade,stripes,bring,hate,snack,parents,peeked.
3、句子的翻译不是很清楚。简单的句子可以自己理解,长点的单词自己不能理解,在翻译的时候感觉太较真,喜欢句字翻译。如: and noise the radiators made. 他会翻译成:燥音散热器制造。像When Wemberly was especially worried ,she rubbed Petal's ears.Wemberly worried that if she didn't stop worrying, Petal would have no ears left at all.这样的句子,基本不会翻译。还有
On halloween,Werberly worried that there would be too many butterflies in the neighborhood parade.另外,Tim在翻译时喜欢较字较句,比如On halloween这句里,一定要弄清be是什么意思。像第一句里的Werberly worried about everything.他会较真里面的about的是什么意思,但自己能解释:Werberly 担心一切事物。
想请教虎妈,如何教孩子翻译。需要一字一句的较真吗?
另外,Tim如果用英语回答关于绘本的问题语法不对,需要去解释吗?(不过,我自己的语法也不好,不敢教)
1,Tim 读绘本的时候明白什么是 worried 吗?
可能用不太好解释什么是 worried,那么可以问小朋友:
Are you worried?
What do you worry about?
通过他的列举,妈妈或许能够明白小朋友是否懂得worried这个意思。
2,Tim 读绘本的时候有没有看图画? 有没有注意到图画和文字的关系? 有没有读图画里面的文字?
Crack 可以看到绘本图画上面的墙上的裂痕,妈妈可以带着孩子一起去找找家里的墙上是否有crack, 再来想一想, What caused crack?What might happen?
radiators 南方的家庭很少有,可是北方的家庭都会有, 就是散热片, 水汀, 图画上的文字是 what if there's a snake inside? 为什么呢? 因为水汀会有蒸汽冒出来, 兹兹的声音,好像蛇一样
chains,bolts 这些就是游乐场上的 秋千的铁链, 还有 滑梯上的螺丝, 图画上的文字是: too rusty, too loose, too high, 分别是针对 chains, bolts, bars来的, rusty是生锈, loose相对而言就是tight 的反义词,所以看下tim是不是能够明白两者之间联系,通过图和图画上的文字来明白生词的意思。
always, 是all the time 的意思, 说的是, 他 总是担心自己的玩偶, 图片上是三个场景:in the car---shouldn't Petal have a car seat, too? by wash machine--- I'll wait for you Petal, can't find his doll---- Petel's lost forever..... see, he worried about his doll all the time.
enough, 这个可以结合上下文来理解, 前一个worry,是 他担心没人来参加他的party, but now, what happened? all his friends have come to the party. so next question is, will their friends eat birthday cake? will everyone come to the party get one? ...... Maybe friends come to the party are more than Wemberly expected, he hasn't prepare a big cake for his friends, so.... some friends will not get the cake. That means no enough cake, or, Wemberly's mommy did prepare a very big cake and everyone come to the party will get a piece of cake. that means enough cake.
halloween is a festivel in American. In halloween we will have a party or a parade ( gather together and walk in the street all together) to our neighbour ( who live next to our house/ door)
1, 通过封面猜内容:
看一看绘本的封面和标题猜一猜,绘本的内容是什么?如果遇到不认识的单词,也没有关系, 想不明白也不要紧,带着问题读绘本,看看读完是不是能明白?
a color of his own----认识这个动物吗? 这个动物叫什么? 他的特征是什么?标题中的his是不是这个动物呢?
Do you know this animal?
What is his name?
联系标题看一下:
Is this book about a chameleon?
Is his color means chameleon's color?
Dose chameleon has his own color?
For Pete's sake----这个标题比较难理解, 没关系, 先看封面, 看看封面透露了什么信息?
Who is Pete?
Do you know the animals on the page?
Who is the green one?
Who is the pink one?
What are they doing? are they talking? What are the talking about?
Wemberly worried---这个标题实际比较简单, worried,弄清楚worried 意思就好, 再看封面:
I think the little mouse is called Wemberly.
What is he doing now?
How does he look like?
Does he look happy? Does he look angry? Does he look worried?
What did he worry about?
What do you do when you worry?
Worried 是不及物动词,所以当后面带有宾语的时候,要用about
Miss Nelson is missing----这个比较好理解, 明白Miss和missing的意思就行了, 而在国外的课堂里面,我们不称老师为teacher,我们称Miss或者Mr. 再加老师的姓, 所以可以理解的是,这个老师姓 Nelson。 Missing 的意思是, can not be found
What do you see from the cover page of the book?
Who are those children? Are they students?
Why are they sitting together? Are they sitting in the classroom?
What else you see in the classroom?
2,联系实际谈自己:
想一想这本书和自己有没有联系: a color of his own----想一想自己有没有颜色, 如果自己有颜色,是什么颜色呢?
What do you do when you worry? ---Wemberly worried
Have you ever seen a crocodile? a flamingo? are they friends? ----for pete's sake
What's your classroom look like? ---Miss Nelson is missing
3,看图说话+ 读绘本的文字,
What do I see? 我看见了什么?
What do I read? 我读到了什么?
Is the picture I see related to the words I read? 我看到的图和我读的文字相关吗?
What else I see but I didn't read from text? 有哪些是我看到的,但文字中没有的?
What else I read from text but not showed in the picture? 有哪些是文字中有的, 但是图上看不到的。
