2022讀英文繪本:Storyline Online

讀了《If I Ran for President》
他忍不住畫下民主黨的驢
和共和黨的象

《Peter And Jane》是我們英文的起點,他是從這套書開始,才真正對英文有了感覺,看得懂字、句,唸得出來。

接下來就是唸繪本,比起背單字、句型,讀繪本我和他都能獲得樂趣。

我們唸過 FREE eBook Library from Oxford OwlCoolEnglish 裡的 Scholastic Bookflix。兩者都能聽它唸,再跟讀。有畫面、有文字,閱讀時圖文對照,對內容了解很有幫助,不只是在學英文。尤其 Oxford Owl 電子書品質很不錯。

但差不多都被我們唸完了,除了些目前對他來說太難的。Storyline Online 唸完後,再回頭去唸,無論是回味過去喜歡的繪本,還是挑戰以前覺得很難的書,應該都蠻有趣的。

在此記錄 Storyline Online 唸的繪本,補之前只留印象,沒留記錄的缺憾。從 Storyline Online 開始,我請他唸完「寫」下一句喜歡的句子,讀了這麼久了,也該動動筆,「寫」的時候就會意識到拼字、句子的結構。

當然他會挑最短的,看過幾句自己之前寫的句子後,他心裡也是會有個標準的。

以下有連結代表內容不錯的:

  1. Enemy Pie 12/31
    在2022年最後一天讀完這本,完成今年讀完四十本的小心願。
  2. The House That Jane Built 12/27
    Jane 六歲看到需要幫助的人,便埋下想做事改善世界的心願。最後她藉由建立 Hull House技能訓練所,幫助需要的人自立、改變社區風氣。(我喜歡作者把一些真實問題也寫出來,比如:有人破壞、有人偷東西,Jane 抓住那個偷東西準備破窗而逃的人,跟他說:「門在那裡,從門出去才不會受傷。」)
    想起和飯粒弟上星期才看到的一則德國新聞:八年前德國接納難民,並讓他們上語言學校、技能訓練。八年後各國缺工,德國剛好有這些生力軍投入勞動市場。
    而明天要考的國語〈一萬五千元的學生證〉,正好也談助人。女學生說當鋪老板是她的貴人,當鋪老板說女學生也是他的貴人,提醒他延續父親的熱心助人。
    當飯粒弟唸完 Jane 的故事,問我:這故事是真的嗎?我不知道,沒想到再往下看,唸故事的人便說:It's true. 我們倆個張大眼睛,覺得好神奇:這影片會通靈嗎?
    心裡懷抱希望,世界會回應你!
  3. Zombies Don't Eat Veggies! 12/24
    Mo是愛吃蔬菜的Zombie,但他的父母完全不喜歡,因此:Mo's heart sank to his toes.
    我是很愛吃蔬果,但有時讀繪本會覺得其中有些想「教育」的意識型態,什麼時候會這麼覺得?當繪本中的情節不自然的時候。
    比如殭屍一族就是吃肉,而繪本中小殭屍不一樣,他不愛。
    或許有些事情並不是不自然,而是本來就存在,只是我沒「發現」。
    但對於無中生有的「發明」,所有人造的事物,我會保持一點戒心,先觀察觀察再說。
  4. Memoirs of an Elf 12/23
    「妳不知道 elf ?」他用吃驚的語氣問我。原來 elf 是精靈,電玩裡常出現的角色。但對我來說,它真是個生字。
  5. The rainbow fish 12/18
    The more he gave away, the more delighted he became.
    這本書出現面前多次,一直不想唸它,因為它殘留著不好的印象。今日再唸,還是不喜歡其他魚因為 rainbow fish 不願拔鱗片給他們,便集體排拒 rainbow fish。
    若有人開口向你要東西,你就要給,這似乎有點奇怪。
  6. The kiss that missed 12/16
    The king promised to stop always being in a hurry.
  7. The coal thief 12/13
    The mountain of coal had swallowed him up.
  8. Remember to dream 12/11
    You are the caotain of all your dreams.
  9. Snappsy The Alligator 12/10
    It's just a coincidence!
  10. A Tale of Two Beasts 12/7
    I raced back to the deep dark woods, before the terrible beast could catch me.
  11. Hanukkah in Alaska 12/4
    A rainbow on black velvet. They're called the northern lights.
  12. Rent Party Jazz 12/3
    That money belongs to anybody who needs it for rent or food.
  13. Guji Guji 2022/11/30
    Everyday Guji Guji became a stronger and happier "crocoduck".
  14. Clark the Shark 2022/11/29
    Maybe if I make a rhyme, I'll remember everytime.
  15. Library Lion 2022/11/27
    Sometimes there was a good reason to break rules. Even in the library.
  16. I'm Not Scared, YOU'RE Scared! 2022/11/21
    Bear felt something he had never felt before, courage.
  17. The Tale of Peter Rabbit 2022/11/20
    It was a blue jacket with brass buttons; it was quite new.
  18. Mice Twice 2022/11/15
    He tried to back away, but Cat house, was too tight around him.
  19. If I Ran for President 2022/11/13
    The two major parties are the Democratic party and the Republican party.
  20. Julius, the Baby of the World 2022/11/11
    GA-A-A-A MAA-OOO MMOOO. Such a vocabulary!
  21. Never Play Music Right Next to the Zoo 2022/11/6
    由作者本人唸這本繪本,不,應該說是「唱」,還搭配了管弦樂團的演奏。很有趣又好聽!
    The yak played the sax until red in the face - a surprisingly musical mammal.
  22. No More Noisy Nights 2022/11/5
    週六晚,我和姐姐去看表演,父子倆很認真地唸了英文才去看動漫⋯⋯
    So he shut his ears with cotton ball, pulled on his thickest ski cap, wrapped his pillow around his head.
  23. The Empty Pot 2022/11/4
    姐姐回家,姐姐陪唸。姐姐說這影片的朗讀者是電影「波希米亞狂想曲」的主角,她說我才知道,本人和電影裡演Queen主唱的那人差很多。
    I admire Ping's great courage to appear before me with the empty truth.
  24. The Elves and the Shoemaker 2022/11/3
    The shoemaker and his wife lived a long and happy life.
  25. Quackenstein Hatches a Family 2022/11/2
    Quack could feel his cold heart melt.
  26. Sebastian's Roller Skates 2022/10/31
    He'd like to be tall enough to reach every single button in the elevator, even the ones at the very top.
  27. No Mirrors in My Nana's House 2022/10/30
    The beauty in everything was in  her eyes.
  28. Turkey Trouble 2022/10/28
    "Oink, Oink, Oink" snorted Pig. "Holy cow ! Is that you, Turkey ?"
    Storyline Online 其實是一段段 YouTube 影片,但它的字幕不是自動產生,至少英文不是,因此我們是看字幕唸。唸時要自己搶時機在斷句時按暫停,有時按慢了,字幕就跑走了。
    很多繪本都是一個基本句型重覆出現,就像照樣造句。今天又按慢了,字幕跑走了,但類似的句子已重覆出現多次,於是我讓他試著自己說看看。有些漏字,像是: But looking [at] Pig g[i]ve Turkey a new idea. 沒有注意到時態。
    唸下一本時,可以來試試:聽、讀幾次後,不看字幕唸,再對照字幕。
  29. Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge 2022/10/26
    What's a Memory? Something that makes you cry, my boy.
    唸完這本簡單的書後,想省事的他發現,他竟選了本書名最長的書⋯⋯(因為要抄下書名)
  30. Me and My Cat 2022/10/25
    "Bowwowowowowowowow!" The Cats ran away in all directions.
  31. T-he Tooth 2022/10/23
    Now, all he needed was a pillow.
  32. Please Please the Bees 2022/10/22
    Every month! Every year! Do the math, Einstein!
  33. The Kissing Hand 2022/10/20
    唸時已晚,他想來本簡單的,年級程度是 K - 1st、只有 5 分鐘。但唸完後,我們都覺得這本有點無聊。下次還是讀年級高一點的書。
  34. The Night I Followed the Dog 2022/10/18
    This is a place where dogs can be dogs.
    唸到這句時,他問我:「不是要寫下一句?」
    「對。就這句?」
    「就這句。」
    沒到他現在的 sense 已到這個程度,和我感受到的一樣,我也很喜歡這句。
    詩有「詩眼」,故事核心是「梗」嗎?

    While the other piglets rolled in the mud, Pigasso painted.

    Who could you protect me from -- a cookie?
    姐姐帶回來美國口味甜甜圈
    弟弟指定要上面灑煙火碎糖的,
    因為那正是他們倆上月讀《Arnie the Doughnut》時,
    在繪本裡看到的那種甜甜圈。
  38. Halloween Hustle 2022/10/9
    He sticks his bones back into place, adds rubber bands, just in case.
  39. Carla's Sandwich ?
    回頭找書時發現這本我們也唸過,因為裡面談到許多噁心的「特製」三明治。但沒記錄,補上。
  40. Maddi's Fridge 2022/10/8
    The sun went down behind the buildings and took all the colors with it.
