| 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 Owl，CoolEnglish 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：
- 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。 - 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！ - 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。 - 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。 - 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。 - The kiss that missed 12/16
The king promised to stop always being in a hurry. - The coal thief 12/13

Never Play Music Right Next to the Zoo

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！

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。 -

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。 -
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？ -
