A spider is not insect?. 作者: GH 时间: 2007-10-22 15:01 标题: 回复 2#成长的天空 的帖子
Hares and rabbits are small furry animals with long ears and short, fluffy tails. They scamper through gardens, fields, and woods. But -
Most hares are big....The biggest are 27 inches long. They weigh over eight pounds. Some of the biggest hares are called jackrabbits -even though they really are hares. the samller sonwshoe rabbits are also hares.
Hares escape enemies by hopping away......
When a hare senses danger , it leaps away on its powerful hind legs. Some hares reach speeds of up to 50 miles an hour !
是的. 有二处打错了.
请问二,三年级学生一般有什么英语读物可以推荐的? 三年级资深家长有经验吗? 大家交流一下心得.
最近找科普读物起因(也是瞎找),专门找了几本系列读本( By Ken BEATTY ). 我开列了张单子(其中一些) :
1. A Week in Space( 40pages ) 第三级 3 , for 初一. 词汇量要求: 800-1000
2. A Day at the Zoo ( 43 pages ) 同上.
3. A Year on the Farm (43pages) 同上.
4. PREDATORS (42 pages ) 同上
5. The Human Body (43pages ) 同上
先给这些吧.
由于自己也是很喜欢科普读物(大学才开始的), 所以决定开始让孩子读读上面5本. 作为对Scholastic 出版物的互补. 真是趣味性很大.
如果你们也有单册简易读物可以推荐,请上来聊聊. 我们可以互相学习的.

有没有学校的老师和家长帮着看看,有什么问题? . 作者: Jennierunrun 时间: 2007-11-27 17:29 标题: 回复 19#GH 的帖子
Christmas 马上来临,最近找到一本关于节日的书籍和孩子一起读.我这里贴上来,你有空也可以和孩子一起读读,了解这个节日的由来等趣事. 上二周学校也讲了许多这方面的内容.
Read-About Holiday
Christmas
Twinkling lights, warm gingerbread cookies, and gifts wrapped in bright paper are some of the things that make Christmas a magical holiday.
The first Christmas was celebrated about 1,700 years ago. Christian people in Rome , Italy , chose December 25 to honor the birthday of Jesus Christ . Christmas means “ festival of Christ “.
People ate , sang , and danced at early Christmas festivals. They also stood under mistletoe.
Mistletoe is a plant with white berries. Kissing someone under the mistletoe is thought to give you a long , healthy life.
People in North America started giving each other Christmas gifts in the 1800s. Children got simple presents such as fruit and candy.
Candy canes were white, straight sticks back then, Colored stripes and the hooked shape came later.
Children hung their stockings by the fireplace for Santa Claus to fill on Christmas Eve. This tradition continues today.
In Germany, Santa Claus is known as Saint Nicholas. In Britain , children call him Father Christmas .
America borrowed many Christmas traditions from other countries.
Sending Christmas cards began in England. Red poinsettia plants from Mexico are now a symbol of holiday cheer . Christmas tress got their start in Germany.
At first , people decorated Christmas trees with paper chains, tin angels, and popcorn strings. They dyed the popcorn bright colors.
People also hung candles on trees. Strings of electric lights soon replaced the dangerous candles.
Ways to celebrate
Christmas customs are different around the world . Children break open piñatas in Mexico. People in Finland visit the graves of their loved ones on Christmas . In many countries, people display a model of Christ’s birth , called a nativity scene .
Many people in North America like to decorate a Christmas tree. Some families drive to a tree farm to cut their own tree. Others buy a living tree to plant in their yard when the holiday is over . Many people choose a fake tree .
Decorating the tree is a special event . Children in some families receive a new ornament to hang on the tree every Christmas.
Others make bread-dough ornaments. They cut them into the shapes of snowmen , angels , and wreaths.
Christmas is also a time to bake goodies . You can build a gingerbread house or fill baskets with homemade cookies and bread to take to friends.
Many peoples attend church services on Christmas Eve. They listen to the story of Christ’s birth or see it acted out as a play. Religious leaders speak about spreading peace and love. Some churches hold a candlelight service at midnight.
Some families go caroling door-to-door on Christmas Eve . They sing popular holiday songs . Others watch their favorite holiday movie. Before children go to bed , they set out cookies and mild for Santa and carrots for his reindeer.
People open their gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning . Families get up early and greet each other with “ Merry Christmas !”Children rush to see what Santa left for them.

一年级的小朋友,chapter-book阅读是有一定困难的.
外面有很多分级阅读,我是不建议给孩子读,因为那不是原版的读物.(我当初也买过 )
一年级的小朋友建议从"自然拼音法"学习,这个东西不一定要去外面报班读,平时朗读学校生词课文的时候就可以掌握一些读音规则,鼓励孩子用这个办法拼写生词,但是这个东西也是要慢慢积累反复操作的.
另外,可以给孩子适当看些原版动画片,不要电影,那个太长,听不懂很无聊.外面小店有买那种1集1集的动画,每集大概20分钟.反复看,总有一天会看懂的.(我们就是这样的).我们当时看的有"Bob the builder","thomas and his friends", "teletubbies","tweenies" ......,我们看到后面简直要背出来了.这样慢慢的就有了一定的词汇量了,而且小朋友还老开心的,因为有电视看.
现在外教课用的那套东西很好,很适合刚刚开始阅读的孩子,不知道1年级是不是用一样的.叫Oxford Story Tree.
推荐一个网站:http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/,有空的话可以去看看玩玩.
先写这些,希望对大家有帮助.
你可以带着孩子一起读.(来自" FISH"一书,三级). QFL二年级学生应当已经没有问题了.
My dad has a special baot . The bottom of the boat is made of glass. My dad gives rides to tourists on his boat . The tourists see fish and other sea life. 这周的magic box 中谈到ride , 这里还有另一个用法.
还有外教也要学生写写了解的 My sea world . 多点阅读可能会帮到他们笔上生辉.我尽量能多打点,有时也力不从心. 大家可以从网上找找这本书.上海外语教育出版社的.(朗文中学英语分级阅读)
Sometimes, on school holiday , I help my dad .
Come with me on my dad's boat . I will show you some interesting fish.
Hainan Island is a good place to learn about fish. The sea is warm and clean .
There are many fish here.
My island is in a tropical area . In this area, coral grows at bottom of the sea . Many animals need coral to live.
In some tropical places , the coral is dying. Sometimes , this is because people make the water dirty. We should save our coral and save the wonderful fish.
What things in the sea are not fish ?
Dolphins look like fish . Whales look like giant fish . They are both beautiful and interesting . They live in water . But they are not fish. This is because dolphins and whales cannot breathe under water . They have to come out to the water to breathe air .
Fish need oxygen . They can get oxygen from water . They have gills(鱼鳃) to help them get oxygen.
What is a fish ?
All fish live in or very close to water. They can get oxygen from water. Fish use fins to help them swim . All fish are vertebrates(脊椎动物). Many of them have scales(鳞).
How about tedpoles ? They live and breathe in water . They look like little fish. Are they fish ?
No , They aren't . Tadpoles are baby frogs. They get bigger and then grow arms and legs . Fish have fins to help them in water , they don't grow arms and legs.
Octopuses are interesting. They live in water , but they are not fish either.
They do not have backbones. Animals with backbones are called vertebrates . Fish are vertebrates.
Also , Octopuses have soft skin. Many fish have scales . Scales protect the fish.

All fish live in or very close to water . They can get oxygen from water. Fish use fins to help them swim. All fish are vertebrates . Many of them have scales.
以后章节cover :
Pretty fish , Strange fish, Scary fish , The Scariest and the Biggest fish.
集科普和趣味性比较强的分级读物,故推荐给大家.
目前第三级的6本清单:
1. A week in Space ( 太空漫游一星期 )
2. A Day at the Zoo (动物总动员 )
3. A Year on the Farm ( 田园寻趣 )
4. A Day with Birds ( 观鸟一日记)
5. FISH ( 绚烂鱼世界 )
6. Fire Fighter ( 火场英雄 )
目前已经拿到书并开始读的小朋友请每天读2-4页, 我已经开始考虑安排下阶段(合适的时间)的阅读交流活动. 欢迎有兴趣的小朋友一起参与拓展阅读和交流. (肯定比课本更有趣味性)
方式?时间?场所等?
Remarks:
1.适合读者初一年级(800-1000 词汇量),但我们QFL的二,三年级学生的水平可以应付了.
2.培养目标:新课标3级
3.第一步先由家长带着慢慢读,他愿意的话,你可以让他读,你看着,发音帮忙纠正.
4.反复强调和运用已学的发音方法来读, 这就是巩固和拓展学习.
对于喜欢动物的小朋友, 我会先推荐读( Going On Safari ) , 他/她肯定会从中学到不少的动物名称和知识. 你也为可以为将来去南非旅游和参观野生动物园做好准备( ), 当然这是可能发生的.
请带着问题来读完这本对孩子们有着吸引力的书.
问题:
1) Where can you go on safari ?
2) Are there tigers in Africa ?
3) What are the BIG five ?
4) What is the only thing you can shoot on safari ?
5) Why are there white markings around some antelope's talis ?
6) Are hippos as dangerous as lions ?
7) How fast can a cheetah run ?
Please read this book and find the answers to those and other questions, Imagine YOU are going to on safari. You'll love it !
说实在, 我也喜欢读这本书,而且是一口气读完. 喔, 太棒了!
让我们一起来读一段吧:
Safaris are tours, People take safari tours in Africa to see wild animals.
The animals are not in cages. They are free and live just like they have lived for thousands of years . They find their own food and go where they like . If they their own food and go where they like . If they get sick or hurt , they can die , Nobody takes them to a vet !
People on safari tours see real nature far away from cities . It's like going back in time !
On safari , people drive around in cars and try to find animals. The animals
move around a lot in a very big area so sometimes they are difficult to find . When people see an animal , they keep very quite and watch . It is very interesting watching what the animals do .
( The word safari comes from an African language . It means a long journey )
National parks
Many people go on safari in national parks in Africa. National parks are not zoos ! They are natural . All the animals in national parks are born there .......
除了学校学过一些动物的名称, 其中也再添了如 buffalo , leopard, rhino, antelope ,cheetah , wildebeest . 请小朋友能记下这些单词并最好默写在回家默写本上. 你们老师也会有动力了! 呵呵.......
总之,科普读物中也会出现的........
我给这本书配上科技馆里的照片. 很逼真的!
