作為媽媽的我一直都很鼓勵小朋友多閱讀,認為書本能為孩子長知識外,還能豐富他們的想像力,擴闊視野和思想領域。英國的教育理念跟我不謀而合,這裡的學校經常鼓勵學生多看書,透過獎勵方式(派發獎狀或贈送學校自製書籤作為禮物)來引導學生閱讀不同類型的書籍。
閱讀興趣需要從小培養
他們相信閱讀興趣是需要從小培養的,因此在這裡出生的孩子都會有免費書籍獲贈。而英國的學校亦從他們的Nursery 或 Reception的時候,已開始鼓勵學生借書回家閱讀。小學一般提供的主要是來自Read with Oxford的閱讀本,這系列以Key stage來區分程度(Stage 1-6),讓家長更容易掌握自己小孩的英文程度。
Read with Oxford
Read with Oxford系列的故事書,由Stage 1 至 6 的故事都是圍繞著 3 個主角:Chip, Biff & Kipper 與家人的日常生活,就好像我們小學的英文課本裡的Tom & Mary一樣,特別有親切感。每本書的內頁開頭,還附有關鍵字的拼音,來提醒學生字發音。
Bedtime Story 睡前一故事
相信有很多從香港來的各位都很擔心,怕小朋友的英語跟不上同年的程度!假如小孩在仍在小學階段,大家可以從Bedtime story開始,建立良好的親子時間之餘,還可提高他們的閱讀興趣。
由淺入深
以下介紹幾本簡短、有趣而有名的故事書,這些都是英國小孩從小接觸的書本,能在公眾圖書館找到:
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
The Gruffalo

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt

The Tiger Who Came to Tea
Room on the Broom
