从去年8月开始,我陪女儿踏上英语启蒙的“羊肠小道”。因为做启蒙与教学不同,教学必须给家长展示一个明显的成果,而启蒙更多的是静待花开,要知道,有时那花骨朵就是卯足了劲儿不开哦!在女儿的“沉默期”里,我几乎天天跟自己说:做好眼前事,不考虑得失。
经历这5个月的“洗礼”,我感觉在家做英语启蒙最重要的还是开心,当然,我会有这种想法也跟我在小城生活有关,生活节奏慢。此外,只提讲故事玩游戏,不纠错,鼓励孩子开口表达。孩子具备自我修正(self-correction)的能力,没必要为了眼前的一个发音或语法,去浇灭孩子的自信和热情。发音在英语学习中并不是最重要的,只是咱们中国人过分看重罢了。
首先,关于这个玩,也就是拓展活动,实物/卡片(名词)+TPR(动词)是最基本的复习方法。做这些这都是为了积累听力词汇。
其次,根据孩子不同时期的兴趣,对书单顺序进行调整。女儿喜欢看各种动物图片,我就找出所有卡尔爷爷的作品;女儿最初害怕Five Little Monkeys和Go Away, Mr Wolf!,我就不讲,直到最近才重新共读。整个共读过程中,女儿是主角。
最后,结合孩子的敏感期加入一些早教游戏。我现在身边常备着《图解家庭中的感觉统合训练》和《捕捉儿童敏感期》,有时我也会在小红书上找资料。
在第22周,我们陪女儿逛动物园和海底世界,基本以有声书为主。回到家后,配合游戏复习巩固。Today Is Monday讲的是星期,属于时间范畴,女儿爱听爱唱即可。This Old Man则是继续熟悉数名和指物读数,不认数字,数量随缘。
第23周,女儿的阅读兴趣明显在Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush上,直到本周三,她才想看Over In the Meadow。这也许跟女儿对小朋友的热情有关,她现在最想去的地方就是幼儿园。因此,这一周的两部绘本,前者精读,后者泛读。
Week 22(12/26-1/1)
绘本:
① Today Is Monday(廖 Week 8)
② This Old Man(自选,Child's Play)
《鹅妈妈童谣》Chap.3:
① Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush
② One Two Three Four
童谣:
① Ten in the Bed
② Days of the Week
Today Is Monday
这部绘本的作者是Eric Carle,内容浅显易懂,重复性高,歌曲也朗朗上口。女儿虽然搞不清楚每天都是星期几,但她听多了依然能哼唱。我觉得女儿做到这种程度已经足够。
1. 绘本解读(共读时,务必手指指物)
⑴ 封面与内封:
① 封面:The black cat wears a bib and has a knife and fork.There is a spoon on the table.
② 内封1:The colorful parrot / macaw is flying with a knife in its mouth.The brown dog is running with a spoon in its mouth.The black cat is running with a fork in its mouth.
③ 内封2:This is a fork.This is a plate. This is a knife. This is a spoon.
⑵ 主体内容:我把单词/词组拓展了句子,加入了绘本中的7种动物。请注意周一的动物是豪猪,不是刺猬。为强调星期,我把On Monday等前置。周一到周日依次用1~7个圆点来表示。
OnMonday● the porcupinehas string beans.
On Tuesday ●● the snake has spaghetti.
OnWednesday ●●● the elephant hassoup.
On Thursday ●●●● the cat hasroast beef.
On Friday ●●●●●the pelicanhas fresh fish.
OnSaturday ●●●●●● thefoxhas chicken.
On Sunday ●●●●●●● themonkeyhas ice cream.
⑶ TPR:
All you hungry children:摸摸肚皮(反之,full可以用拍拍肚皮来表示)。
come:招招手,示意过来。
eat it up:张大嘴巴,做出满口吞下的表情。
2. 拓展游戏
⑴ 转盘
做出来纯粹是为了玩儿,因为女儿很喜欢圆形和各种各样的球。女儿玩转盘时,我会随机指指其中的动物/食物:What animal / food?动物和食物都能正常输出,星期是跟着我复述。
⑵ 分类与配对
经过转盘游戏,我已确定孩子能够熟练输出所有的动物和食物。接下来是分类练习,旨在让孩子熟悉上位概念词汇animal和food。
① 告之规则。指着第一列,说:"This part / column is for the DAYS of the week. Monday, Tuesday, … and Sunday."指着第二列和左边的动物卡片:"This part / column is for animals."指着第三列和右边的食物卡片:"This part / column is for food."
② 我先唱歌:"Today is Monday. Today is Monday. Monday, 此处停顿,等待女儿接上" 女儿回答:"String beans."我指完食物卡片后,问:"Can you find out string beans?" 之后,女儿找出,贴到相应位置。后面以此类推。
③ 我指指第2列,问:"What animal has string beans on Monday?" 女儿答:"Porcupine." 我指完动物卡片后,问:"Can you find out porcupine?" 之后,女儿找出,贴到相应位置。后面以此类推。
⑶ 餐具(可搭配食物)
找出家中常用的餐具,当作叮铃当啷的乐器来演奏,边玩边记。
比如一边手拿筷子,敲打盘子,一边说:"Plate, plate, play on the plate."
放一些酱料在茶碟里:"Saucer, saucer, sauce in the saucer."
This Old Man
This Old Man是一首古老的童谣,绘本版本也是多种多样,比较有名的有Child's Play和Barefoot Books(绘本名为Knick Knack Paddy Whack)。这里我使用了Child's Play版本,因为有数量展示,对不认识数字的小朋友更友好。Barefoot那一版更适合已经认识数字的小朋友。
1. 内容解读
⑴ 封面与内封:
① 封面:
This book is about this old man.
He has red cheeks and a long white beard with a big smile.
He stands behind the gate.
Here is a little boy.
He is reading a book about numbers, like one, two, …, ten.
② 内封:
Wow! So many animals!Look at this group.
The squirrel is playing the guitar.
The mouse is playing the
flute.
Look at this part. All the animals are looking at THIS OLD MAN.
⑵ 主体内容:
① 歌词部分,内容重复度极高,不同之处只有数字和对应的押韵词:This old man, he played 1~10. He played nick nack on my drum/shoe/knee…/hen. With a nick nack Paddy whack, give a dog a bone. This old man came rolling home.
② 画面部分,数字1-6中都有对应数量的小花,所以女儿可以开心地数数,而不需看无聊的阿拉伯数字(她现在对数字一点兴趣都没有)。而每一个数字老人身边也有对应数量的动物或物品。比如2号老人是一名海盗,带着2个耳环,胡子上有2个蝴蝶结;身边有2只海鸥,2只海鹰,2只鲸
鱼。
下面仅列出相关词汇:
1号老人:butterfly, bird, bunny puppet, drum, squirrel, mouse, guitar, flute, boy.
2号老人:earring, bow, seagull, puffin, whale.
3号老人:mouse(mice), dog, butterfly, caterpillar, triangle, line, angle, dot.
4号老人:cat /kitten, paint can.
5号老人:(pink) flower, (green) leaf, bee.
6号老人:ladybug, brick.
7号老人:string.
9号老人:fish.
8、10号老人:无
2. 拓展游戏

Week 23(1/2-1/8)
绘本:
① Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush(廖Week 16,鹅妈妈拓展)
② Over in the Meadow(廖Week 36)
《鹅妈妈童谣》Chap.3:
① One for Sorrow
② Whose Little Pigs Are These
童谣:
①This Is the Way 1+2
②Skidamarink
Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush
这部绘本讲的是小朋友们的日常作息(daily routine)。全文共有14段歌曲,13个生活场景引出13个动词词组,其余内容都是相同的。
第一段为Here we go round the mulberry
bush on a cold and frosty morning.
后13段都以This is the way we + daily routine + on a cold and frosty morning / lunchtime / evening.
可联动的绘本有Five Little Ducks, Down by the Station和The Wheels on the Bus,都是Child's Play第一辑中的作品。
1. 内容解读
⑴绘本中每一个小朋友的行为各有不同,即便我们不提,孩子也会问:“他在干什么呀?”所以,细化故事内容是不可避免的。我们可以自问自答What do they eat? How do they get to school?这样的问题。
以下是我备绘本时细化的内容,我女儿只问了食物、玩具和出行工具。
●get out of bed: wear pajamas, climb down the ladder, slide down from the bed.
● munch and crunch: an omelet, a bowl of cornflakes, a bowl of KoKoKrunch with milk, a toast with jam, a croissant, etc.
●brush our teeth: squeeze toothpaste on my toothbrush, rinse my mouth.
●wash and scrub: take a bath /shower.
●dress ourselves: put on my hat / pants / dress / sweater / coat / down coat / overall / socks / boots, etc.
● brush and comb: straight / curly hair
● get to school: by scooter, by bus, by walk(ing), by bike, by wheelchair, by car.
●work all day: work on the computer,write letters, shoot the ball, work on the clock, do the paper cutting, draw a picture.
●jump and play: jump on the boxes, play with the ball (in a wheelchair), build blocks, skip rope, play hopscotch, play with the toy cars.
● eat our lunch: toast, cupcake, apple; rice, juice, banana; cake, donut, chicken, beans, chips; sausage, cheese, tomato, cucumber; spaghetti, ketchup, milk.
● go home: by sledge, by roller skating, by skateboarding, by bike.
●rest at home: read a book, do the puzzles, listen to the music, take a bath, play with the toy trains, watch TV.
● say "good night": have a hug, have a piggyback ride, read a book, wave goodnight.
⑵文中的in the morning / lunchtime (afternoon) / evening可与童谣skidamarink结合,帮助孩子了解一天中的主要时间段。TPR视频可参考SSS版。
2. 拓展活动
⑴ 实景重现
绘本中孩子们吃的早餐和午餐,我都实际给女儿也准备了一份。
骑滑板车、踩踩滑板、坐公交车、坐私家车,感受不同的出行方式。
实际去玩跳箱子和跳房子的游戏,玩各种玩具车。用电脑、玩时钟等。
其中,玩时钟时,可以结合童谣Hickory Dickory Dock。
⑵ Amber's Daily Routine
经过过去两个月的适应调整,女儿的作息基本与幼儿园时间同步。所以,歌曲稍加修改,就变成了她明年的日常了。具体如下:
This is the way I get up / listen to the songs/ brush my teeth / wash my face / comb my hair / get dressed / go to school /have breakfast / take classes on a cold and frosty morning.
This is the way I eat my lunch / take a nap /play with friends / go home on a cold and frosty afternoon.
This is the way I read books / eat my dinner/ take a bath / go to bed on a cold and frosty evening.
Over in the Meadow
这部绘本除了廖彩杏书单推荐的版本外,还有Child's Play版。相较于Child's Play胖嘟嘟的可爱画风,这部绘本的画风更加写意,阳光、水气等的环境渲染还真不一定适合所有小朋友。
这依然是一本数数书,动物名称(muskrat除外)、动作和叫声都已经在之前的绘本中读到过,因此,两天时间的泛读和一周的有声书泛听足够了。
