睇睇下書，自然會識英文？

要小孩愛閱讀一定要讓他們讀得開心快樂。ORT, magic tree house, magic school bus, Mr Men, Wimpy kids, Captain Underpants and etc都可以試，因應男女年齡不同讀不同的書。不用比較，不是個個小孩都要啃Harry Porter & Roald Dahl's系列。
不過除了消閒地讀還可以間中鼓勵寫book report, 我最近在weekend要求個仔做，不是要他做summary(因他之前會寫2頁A4紙給我），而是要他列出：
Book title, author, choose 5 verbs that you learned in this book & write down the meaning from dictionary, list the main characters & describe each one in one sentence, and what are the events happened in the story.
這模式令他速讀（他每本書都讀得好快）過後有機會沉澱一下和吸收。不過切記，不是本本都做，每星期一本已好好。
最後提提Raz Kid, 是網上一個reading program, 類似每日一篇，分level聽、讀，然後答問題，既訓練comprehension, 也是聆聽和模仿native speaking 的好習作。我仔在學校由4歲半便做到依家7歲，正在做level R, 進展平穩，可以嘗試。

寫是一個reinforcement的過程，要不斷鼓勵。方法：
1）畫圖+以文字（短句）說明
2）寫有興趣的題目，我個仔之前鍾意pirates, treasure island, dragon, soldiers就由得他寫，鼓勵他寫，寫完讀給daddy聽。
3）幫他記錄，放上blog, 他有show off的天性，會好開心。
4）與他講學習問題時，我會刻意說：你的強項是maths & writing, 比心機吖！
久而久之自信心會建立，寫起上來得心應手。

Give him lot of leisure time but no TV & computer game!:
低年級時，學校有時教他們做小手工，如製作一本小書，我會俾好多時間他再創造&再玩。慢慢他越寫越開心。
再者，讀和寫都需要時間，家長能給他們這空間嗎？我仔昨日在學校寫Couplets, 他由昨天起就不停作、不停笑。

學好語言要多聽多講多讀多寫，是不二法門; 而這個次序也是好重要。早教時代應維持多聽多講，入學後才"學閱讀"、小學後就開始寫。不用急，要配合性情。我個仔仍是思想較簡單的，所以寫的故事也好簡單。以下是他在聖誕時寫的故事。

Olive the Reindeer Dog (By Josh at 7)

        One hour before Christmas Eve in Greenland there lived a dog called Olive! Olive quickly went to the market to buy food. He saw a chocolate reindeer. Then he thought about Santa Claus. Olive quickly ran th North Pole! He asked Santa, "Can I please be a reindeer?" Santa chuckled,"Yes!" Olive was very happy. So Santa tied a string onto Olive's body and the other end onto the reindeer's neck! Mrs Claus said,"I will make a gingerbreadman parade after you come back."

        They were ready to go! Santa said,"1,2,3 let's go!!!" The reindeer flew up, up and away. Along the trip, Santa slept on the sleigh. So they crashed into a tree. Santa woke up all of a sudden. Olive barked. Olive untied the string that were stuck in the tree. At last they went again!!

Part 2

        All of the ride was fantastic, Santa gave many gifts. The reindeer said,"We are very hungry and tired!" Then Santa said,"If you're hungry we better faster get back quickly to the North Pole." Ten minutes later they were in the Artic Circle but they didn't move because there was a fog.

        Santa asked Olive,"Can you smell Mrs Claus's Gingerbreadmen?" "Yes" said Olive. So Olive brought them back to Santa's workshop. Then Santa gave the reindeer presents. The last present was for Olive. It was his own pair of antlers. Then they ate the gingerbreadmen. At last they played reindeer games with Olive!!

我個仔8歲，認字麻麻
唔知點好？

讀本地小學? 如果係英文，可從較高level (如: level 8-10)的Oxford Reading Series開始，反覆的用字、相同的角色，加上是adventrue story，孩子慢慢會有興趣。

閱讀帶動英語進步是一個過程，跟做練習不同，要愉快才有成效!

我仔細細個的時候，我是參考英國的一個伴讀計劃 http://www.bookstart.org.uk/。
當時膽粗粗send email給他們，他們竟給我回覆還送我一套圖書作嬰幼兒閱讀的開始。

四五歲時輕鬆的伴讀，我會選"big book"及有圖畫的書為主，一些pop up books也好有趣。magic tree house未必是一個好方向，在似之前，可先試Froggy, Mr Men, Little Miss, Curious George, Dr Seuss等系列, 發掘多點有趣的書(中英亦然)，這樣才有趣味。

至於ORT，教學味頗濃，我會歸類為guided reading, 因應情況逐個level閱讀；家長要留意自己的心態--不用急於教字和認字，慢慢來!　我仔仔五歲時好熱衷讀這系列，亦好自覺要升level，有點像學游水要升班一樣。而同一時間的bed time story，我會讀"How To Train A Dragon"等系列給他聽，只聽不看，但原來小小年紀的他都可以明白劇情發展。

五六歲開始他自行讀chapter books，已不再要求伴讀；現在只餘下bed time story，我轉為選讀中文故事，如紀曉嵐、康熙等。

明白，是用語不同的誤會。
絕對讚同，閱讀真的可以細分不同種類，現時仔仔七歲，在學校和家均是採用Raz kids 進行guided reading, 相當有效。另加之前提的book report training.

學校讓我們使用同一個account的。 ^_^

raz kids的好處是先聽、再自己讀，然後答問題。好處是可以同時練習聽與朗讀，而且用字是越來越艱深，fiction與non fiction均有，每個level要完成十多本書才能升級，最放心是選書適合小學生(這方面比香港的每日一篇優勝百倍!)

如果不用raz kids這program，建議也可參考:NSW Premiers reading Challengehttps://products.schools.nsw.edu.au/prc/booklist/home.html
(Australian list arranged by year level, genre, author and title.)

而英國這網站也不錯:
Cool-reads
http://www.cool-reads.co.uk/
(UK list of books for 10-15 year olds, reviewed by students.)

算啦，佢犯了天規，版主講明永不超生，無得再在EK出現。

Radiomama

請看使用意見一欄中，有會員問版主：點解仲俾佢出現一帖啦！

如果有時間，可在家由自製圖畫書開始。四幅圖+四句sentence，已經包含起承轉合了。另外journal writing（周記或日記）也是一個好開始。小朋友寫得開心，自然會多寫。
