If he doesn't understand it, then how about using simpler books that he does understand?  Reading requires comprehensible input.  If he doesn't understand it, then it is not comprehensible and probably not really helping much.  Kind of like an adult listening to a story in German?

So many good English titles to choose from as well!  Not much Chinese selection though

英文subtitle可以保留 , 影响不大吧!  有足够能力的孩子, 根本不会看, 暂时程度未足的, 看一点来辅助, 有正面的带动作用.  

我是非常鼓励孩子多听audio books, 在睡房内调配合适的音响, 那些英语真是非常动听啊!  一边做小手工, 一边画画, 照样听.

我是走投无路才找出这点门路的, 阿女细时唔肯看中文书, 唯有找遍法语电影(合小孩的), 有中文subtitle, 看完一套电影, 就相等看完一本简单中文书吧!  有中文subtitle的法语片找不着, 就德语, 西班牙语, 日语也是好的.

有需要，用字幕輔助，當然無問題，但應漸漸嘗試不用。孩子是可以的。

另一樣很好的練listening 方法是聽英文歌。

有時可取個平衡。小兒從小看英文卡通都不用字幕，而看電影則偶爾會給他看英文字幕。雖然他都看得明個故事，但發覺有英文字幕的閱後討論會比較多，例如看完HP第一集會講slytherin, quidditch同埋一些spells名稱等。講講下竟然走到我們書架拿了本書看了大半本（最後都沒有看完）。看TV，電影節目都是娛樂，水平不夠硬要听就蠻可憐的，不過普通卡通電影就可不用字幕。
有時覺得好有趣，每次大家爭論那個方法好時，我多是中間落墨，兩樣都用，結果可能是兩頭不到岸。

Yes, definitely agree with you.  But that is certainly not the norm!  At least not if you take HK students as a group today.

HKTHK,
What I am saying is, reading subtitles to train speed reading is not an effective means.

Fact is, I used to need subtitles when I was much younger and I had no problems reading at that speed.  Most people can manage that speed.

As you probably know, my girl has been a keen reader since a young age.  She has also been exposed to certain English environment (in addition to her mother tongue - Cantonese) and TVs without subtitles.  At the age of about 7, she read probably 5 times faster than me.  It means that subtitles speed was by no means challenging for her.  How did she develop reading speed?  By reading.

I don't think she is unique, all her friends and schoolmates with similar background can read at that speed at least and I have never heard any of them needing subtitles to train their speed.

Of course, as I said before, if the child gets older and finds it difficult to follow without subtitles (eg ESL learner), then there is no choice but to rely on subtitles.  We should consciously try to remove the dependency on subtitles though.

I really am not sure which points you are referring to.  But here is an attempted answer.
Using your analogy, you actually do go to the gym to train specific muscle groups.  For example, if you are training for 100m, I would imagine you need to do lots of squats or some other exercise to get power in your glutes.  

In the case of reading, you would use subtitles to build fluency, i.e. the speed of reading.  It doesn't take care of all aspects of reading but for fluency, I can see how it can be helpful.  In your case, you certainly don't need that training but I think it can be helpful for younger kids and also for ESL students.

shadeslayer, HKTHK,

你地系咪一个讲紧'香港人'学英文 重要是逼住要听清楚, 另一个讲'鬼老'学英文vocab. 听唔切,就睇真个字, 学埋发音+spelling.  

我自己是让孩子看法国电影, 看中文subtitles, 逼住要睇多些中文字, 听多些法语,无得走!

I think the Finns will disagree with you on this one

Don't mind "one" article about the Finns, which is actually a commercial site doing business.  It does not address my concerns.


What do "you" have to say to my points?
