第二,找出孩子对阅读感兴趣的内容。就像同一个孩子,她妈妈告诉她,她读了《the Factory Mady Boy》开头的时候没有读,但是《ICH and Meine Schwester KLARL》一口气读完,因为她不喜欢第一本书!事实上,无论是大人还是小孩,找到感兴趣的书才能读下来,你应该做的就是让孩子尝试各种书籍。
看完英文绘本,孩子还会遇到一个障碍,那就是除了经典的《苍蝇小子》之外,如何过度阅读文字/初章书籍(Fly Guy ),猫头鹰日记(Owl Diaries)等初章书。我们也可以给孩子们一个英语笑话(Jokes for Kids),大约7-9岁的孩子对笑话、脑筋急转弯、谜语很感兴趣,而且,笑话的篇幅较短,边看边笑,孩子就完成了阅读。有一本书叫Jokes, Have a Laugh and Improve Your English,由此可见,提高英语阅读能力也是一个不错的选择。
