At the same time of extreme anxiety, I have determined two things: first, the earlier English enlightenment, the better; Second, English enlightenment begins with parent-child reading. I found many articles about parenting on the Internet, and the views of the articles are surprisingly consistent: picture book reading plays a very important role in shaping the family environment of English enlightenment.
However, like many parents, I have been confused on the road of picture books. The right ones and the wrong ones piled up into a hill. On the other side of the mountain, the pizza mother carefully selected some good picture books and cooked a delicious meal for you to enjoy.
Appetizers, also called appetizers in western food, are characterized by high quality and low quantity. The first course of English enlightenment appetizer prepared by pizza mother is English nursery rhymes, which are also high in quality and low in quantity and expensive.
The first step in language learning is to establish a sense of language. Inputting authentic and rhythmic English phonetic signals into children is the first step of language sense enlightenment, just like when children just start learning Chinese, parents will read nursery rhymes. The main task during this period is to accumulate English phonetic input.
Speaking of English rhyming nursery rhymes, the most famous one is this goose nursery rhyme "My? Very? First of all? Mom? Goose.
1, mine? Very? First of all? Mom? Goose
Content characteristics: Mother Goose nursery rhymes were originally a collection of English folk nursery rhymes. These folk nursery rhymes have been circulating in Britain for quite a long time, some of which last for hundreds of years, with a total of more than 800 songs. The content is elegant, including humorous stories, game songs, nursery rhymes, riddles, lullabies, alphabet songs, counting songs, tongue twisters, animal songs and so on.
Mom's comment on pizza: This "Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme" is probably one of the earliest picture books I started making pizza. I bought it with reference to Liao Caixing's book list at first. After I got it, it wasn't as good as I thought. I just play pizza intermittently with my reading pen. It was not until pizza was in an English class that he took the book out of the picture book area for me to tell. It turns out that the rhythm of my speech is exactly the same as the original audio.
Do you know JY? Books started with Liao Caixing's book list and advocated "listening to English easily with audio books". I bought Liao Caixing's book list 1-7 weeks to grind pizza ears.
Except a few who don't catch a cold, most of them are good.
What is JY? Books?
Brief introduction, JY? Books is the name of a Korean bookseller. They specially invited people to make special songs-style audio CDs for more than 400 children's picture books, mainly to attract babies to like English with nursery rhymes.

Grandpa Carl's picture books are colorful and eclectic, leaving enough room for children's imagination.
Pizza's mother commented: This is almost the favorite JY of pizza? Book, this song is catchy. Pizza2 learned this song when he was about two and a half years old. It is still one of his favorite English songs.

Content features: It is also one of Grandpa Carl's classic picture books. Children can read and do actions at the same time. This book is based on Can? What about you? Do what? itI？ Is it okay? Do what? Its repetitive sentence patterns run through.
Comments on Pizza Mom: In two books recommended by Grandpa Carl, pizza mom mentioned a key word-repetitive sentence patterns. In the early stage of children's English enlightenment, we should pay attention to two points when choosing picture books: one is to choose picture books with few characters, and the other is to choose picture books with repeated sentences. In addition, if children like any author or series of books, they can buy all the books. Generally speaking, children will like it.
At present, there are many graded reading picture books on the market, such as Oxford reading tree series and Pearson English series. Pizza learned Pearson's children's English series, from the initial preparatory level and basic level to 1 level. Well, I only bought level 1 and didn't continue to buy it, because pizza is obviously not as interested in reading level 1 as it is in preparatory courses and basic courses. In fact, Pearson's graded reading published a total of 1-6550.
4. Pearson children's English series picture books
Content features: The whole book system is complete and the classification is rigorous. Each book is mainly based on English sentence patterns commonly used in life, short and pithy, and easy to read. The whole book is divided into preparatory level, basic level and advanced level, and contains 10 1 stories.
Pizza mom's comment: Pearson's picture book is still very good in terms of rating. Both the preparatory course and the basic level are palm-sized books, and each book is several pages thin, which is a very suitable English enlightenment textbook for young children. The picture books in the upgraded series are about the size of 1/2 A4 paper, and the text part is obviously increased. The 7-9 grades belong to the bridge book, which is not suitable for children to read.
After Liao Caixing, Wang Peizeng and Pearson, Mother Pisa finally embarked on the road of independent book selection. On this road, she fell down, well, forget it. ...
Fortunately, I bought some good picture books by mistake.
