Rosie 's Walk

文：芬芳

上篇文章《美国儿童词汇量的差异》中，我建议大家用绘本来帮助孩子增加词汇量。那具体如何操作呢？接下来，请大家收听美国老师的绘本精读，其中的绘本是我们都很熟悉的低幼绘本：Rosie's walk.

欢迎收听：

音频中的这位美国老师并没有直接翻开绘本就讲，而是先念了书名和作者后，用一句简单的话来概括了绘本大意：

Rosie's walk. By Pat Hutchins. In this book, a cunning hen outwits a wily fox.

接下来，老师通过图片来首先介绍了相关的单词。而介绍单词的环节，详细而清楚。

老师拿出一张母鸡的图片：

A hen is anothername for a chicken. In this book the main character Rosie is a hen.

老师拿出一张鸡窝的图片：

Hens often live on farms in hen houses. Rosie leaves her henhouse at the beginning the book to go on a walk. You'll never believe the adventures. She doesn't even know she has after she leaves the henhouse.

接着是一张狐狸的图片：

A fox is a wild animal. In real life Fox try to eat hens. I wonder what will happen with the character Fox in this story.

再接下来是池塘的图片：

This is a pond. A pond is a small body of water. There are often ponds on farms so that animals can get a drink. If an animal wanted to go from one side of the pond to the other, how would it have to go? As the animal can't swim, it will have to go around the pond.

下面是介绍蜂窝：

What is this? This is a beehive. Beehives can be found in nature where there aren't any people but sometimes farmers like to keep bees on their farm so that they can eat their delicious honey. Bees live in a beehive.

介绍干草堆：

What do you think this is? This is a haystack. If something light were to try to walk over the haystack, what would happen? Would that be the same or different if something a little heavier walked over the haystack？ Look in this book notice what happens.

面粉：

This is flour. You probably eat flour every day. Flour is made from this plant. It's called wheat. Wheat is often grown on farms and then ground up into tiny little bits by a mil, a giant windmill with rocks attached at the bottom to turn it into flour that we eat. We use flour to make yummy cakes and bread.

磨坊：

This is a mill. A mill is what turns the wheat into flour. Look at the word flour: f-l-o-u-r. When flour in a large bag like this, do you think it's heavy or light? Try to notice the page in this book where it says flour: f-l-o-u-r. flour.

以上，绘本中关于实物的名词，老师通过图片，让孩子有了实际的认识。注意，老师这里用的图片是实物照片，相比较画画图片而言，孩子能看到真实的实物是什么样子的。

下面，老师具体介绍了这个故事：

On Rosie's adventure she will go across something, around something, over something, past something through something and under something. When we finish reading the book, see if you can remember what Rosie went across around over past through and under.

（这一句可以为读后拓展复述做很好的铺垫。）

老师指着封面上书名和作者：

Rosie's walk. By Pat Hutchins.

接着翻到下一页title page：

Do you see the two main characters on the title page? There's the wily fox and there's the hen Rosie who's more clever than she even knows.

Here's another title page showing you the whole farm.

Can you see the mill in this picture?

Can you see the haystack in this picture?

Can you see a fence in this picture?

Do you see beehives in this picture?

Do you see a henhouse in this picture?

Let's read and see what happens.

通过让孩子在书中找到相关的词汇图片，帮助孩子近一步巩固词汇。

This is called the dedication page. Pat Hutchins the author wrote this book for Wendy and Stephen.

关于书的构成，比如cover, title page, dedication page这些内容，属于孩子应该了解的内容。

Rosie the hen went for a walk. Who do you see following close behind the Rosie the hen?

（注意老师是如何与孩子互动的）

Across the yard. What is this tool? 老师指着耙子问（rake）what do you think will happen next? Will the fox catch Rosie?

老师翻到下一页：

并引导孩子验证自己的预测：Were you right?

再下一页：

Around the pond. Will the fox catch Rosie this time?

再翻一页：

Were you right?

Over the haystack. Do you think Rosie is a light weight or a heavy weight? Do you think the fox is a light weight or a heavy weight?

（在这里引入重量，引导孩子比较重量）

The fox must be heavier than Rosie.

Past the mill. Do you see the word we were looking for? Flour, f-l-o-u-r. （复习词汇）

The heavy bag of flour is hanging from the mill that ground the wheat and turned it into flour. Do you think the fox will catch Rosie this time? （提问激发孩子的兴趣）

Uh-oh. Lucky for Rosie.

Through the fence. Oh, no Rosie. I think he's going to get you this time. What do you think? （阅读中，与孩子交互想法）

Not this time. What is Rosie heading for now?（复习巩固单词beehives）

Under the beehives. That silly fox. Would you want to upset the home of bees? What do you think will happen to that fox and Rosie next?

（通过让孩子预测，激发孩子近一步阅读的兴趣。）

Where is the fox going? He is not following Rosie anymore. Why is the fox running away? （可能有些孩子还了解蜜蜂的“威力”，通过这个问题，可以引导孩子阅读蜜蜂相关的科普读物。） Zzzzzz….（老师模仿蜜蜂嗡嗡叫的声音）

And got back in time for dinner. Rosie's back home at the henhouse and the farm is safe from the fox for another day.

以上就是美国老师精读绘本Rosie's walk的实录。大家可以模仿学习。

读绘本的互动方式

对于英语启蒙期的低幼孩子来说，读英文绘本时，妈妈可以尝试着用英文与孩子互动。可以参考下列互动方式：

1、指着书中某个图片，告诉孩子这是什么。比如：There's a fox.

2、在多次重复阅读的过程中，妈妈可以指着图片问问孩子：What is this?或者也可以让孩子指图片：Can you point to the fox？

3、妈妈可以说一说正在发生什么：What is the fox doing?

4、与孩子的实际生活相联系：Have you ever seen a fox? Do you like the farm?

掌握绘本中的单词

绘本中的单词，怎么样能让孩子掌握呢？

多读，多听，多说。

除此之外，美国教授（BEck, Mckeown, Kucan）建议老师们通过下面三种方式来帮助孩子巩固：

1、与孩子自身生活相结合。

比如本绘本中flour一词：This is flour. You probably eat flour every day. We use flour to make yummy cakes and bread.

2、把新单词与已知单词和短语联系起来。

比如本绘本中beehives一词：Which word means where bees live?

3、造句：运用新单词来表达自己。

比如绘本中pond一词：Shall we take a walk around the pond?

好了，方法介绍完了，大家一定要试试哦。芬芳友情提示：妈妈心中有方法，眼里看见孩子，根据孩子的情况来调整使用不同的方法，找到最合适自家孩子的好方法。
