In English learning, my children are also taking an original reading path, starting with picture books and graded reading materials. It's the second day of junior high school, and now I've probably read the first chapter. The blue thinking value is basically around 650L L L.

Let me share my experience in choosing graded reading materials from the perspective of parents.

First, for children with zero foundation, if they are young, it is recommended that the number of picture books and grades be half.

Because the classification is more systematic, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage lies in the complete set of books, the characters are fixed, and there is a certain correlation before and after. If children like it, they will have a sense of familiarity and are willing to continue reading; The disadvantage is that if the whole set is not liked by children, it will basically be eaten at home.

For older children, it is recommended to read more grading books, because grading books have been designed more carefully in vocabulary, sentence patterns, spelling, high-frequency words and so on. Picture books emphasize artistic beauty, and the pictures are exquisite and beautiful.

Second, when choosing mainstream graded reading materials, books with rich supporting products are preferred.

In fact, as far as we can see, in the mainstream field of graded reading materials, the quality of each set is basically a lever, and it is a boutique.

There are Oxford reading trees and big cats in Britain, I can read in America, Langdon grading, RAZ, National Geographic, Hymani in Canada and so on.

However, it is not uncommon for a set of mainstream reading materials to be far superior to similar ones because of their rich supporting products.

Why has the Oxford reading tree been the first for many years?

Because in addition to high quality, it is also very convenient to learn, and the supporting learning resources are readily available and easy to use.

Books alone, you can buy the original version if you can, as well as supporting cards, self-made teaching materials, various versions of videos, audio, point-reading pens, and various official and self-developed apps for subsequent intensive reading, extensive reading and grammar courses. Even Oxford Publishing House published a self-made dictionary of Oxford reading trees.

As long as you want to learn, learning resources are not a problem at all.

On the other hand, there are many graded reading materials with good content, so there are not so rich supporting resources. Sometimes even the official audio version of the publishing house is hard to find, and it can only be a minority choice.

Third, focus on a set of graded reading materials that you like, and multiple sets of graded reading materials with the same difficulty are used as auxiliary brushes to form a spiral rise in reading ability.

When a child's interest is set on a set of graded reading materials, focus on it and read more intensively; However, in order to keep enough reading, we should also read more complete sets of graded reading materials with the same ladder difficulty, and the requirements can be less detailed.

Fourth, in terms of content, story content is the main content, supplemented by popular science content. When you are young, stories can account for 80%, and popular science can account for 20%. In the later period of primary school, the proportion of popular science can be gradually improved, and in middle school, we will strive to reach 50%: 50%.

thank you

For children's English picture books with zero foundation, climbing english's reading series: Magic Alphabet Combination can be considered.

The reading steps of English picture books are: listen-read aloud.

1. Read aloud

Download an audio file, let the children listen to it first, then pronounce it with it, and finally read it aloud.

Reading is to let children hear their own voice, perceive their own pronunciation, and compare and correct it with the standard pronunciation of audio.

At this stage, parents can read aloud with their children to see who can read better and more accurately.

Or adopt interactive mode, one person reads one sentence, etc. , enhance the fun of reading aloud.

Let the children teach

Yes, let the children be teachers. This exercise can make children better understand what they have learned and exercise their English expression ability and sense of accomplishment. Parents can also keep abreast of their children's learning dynamics.

3. Update the language board

Prepare a blackboard at home to update what children have learned.

Children with zero foundation learn knowledge for the first time, memorize and train what they have learned repeatedly, and train repeatedly according to the law of memory.

Visualization can also make children visualize what they have learned at any time, visualize knowledge, and make it easier to remember and master.

I'm Eddie's mother. I have been educating my children in English for almost four years. Let me answer this question. First, analyze these sets you selected, and then recommend some other picture books to you based on my experience.

First of all, the RAZ, Oxford Tree and FLTRP you are interested in belong to graded reading, not picture books strictly speaking. Of course, there are many classifications under FLTRP, but most of them are classified reading materials.

If you are a zero-based child, I suggest that both grading and picture books focus on interest, so RAZ is not recommended, because this grading lacks plot and is arranged for children to learn and remember high-frequency words, which makes no sense to read. The Oxford tree is much better. This is a family story, which is very suitable for preschool children.

The books of FLTRP are not so systematic. If you only choose one set, you can choose Oxford Tree. For FLTRP, you can choose Oxford traditional stories, and when the children are older, you can watch the Li Sheng Spelling Story Club.

Next, I recommend English picture books to children with zero foundation. They are all very interesting books with original quality, and the language is original. My children and I have read it many times:

1. Low distribution series 1. Touch the book and pat the rabbit.

Touch it with your little hand, you can smell the flowers and see a baby in the mirror. This set of books has been published for more than 80 years, and it is a very classic touch book.

2. Molded cardboard flip Matthew price rabbit+hide-and-seek

This set is to learn basic cognition. It is suggested to introduce more picture books related to body parts in early childhood, because children begin to explore and are curious about the body, facial features, rooms and things.

3. Karen Katz Series Karen Katz Classic Page Turning Books

Where is the baby's navel? It's classic. Almost everyone has it.

Second, the advanced version of a single picture book has some reading basis of the original book, and began to try a rhyme picture book suitable for children to sing.

1. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

This book is a classic work of Grandpa Carl, which can help children learn colors and animal vocabulary. The whole book is very repetitive, so parents can copy and cut the animals inside and play games with their children.

2. From Head to Foot

This book is suitable for learning verb expressions of body parts and various actions.

3. Go away, Mr. Wolf

The audio is very nice, including the reading version and the singing version. This book has several pages. The story is compact and the content is very suitable for children. This book is also suitable for follow-up.

Third, the high-end version of the set of books strongly recommends the following sets of story books.

It is a great way to enlighten English with English picture books. What I recommend most is using a series of books.

Because if you only read one book by this author, you won't get used to his writing style and his language expression. Only after reading a series of books will you form a fixed impression and use it unconsciously afterwards.

In addition, the difficulty of that set of books is basically the same. If the child accepts well, you are confident that there will be no big problem next time.

1. Little Princess

The little princess series is suitable for both men and women. I have recommended many mothers, and everyone likes them. The main living habits are scenes close to children's daily life. The image of Princess Ghost Horse has also won the children's love. Highly recommended!

2. Little Animals

Little hairy man, an eternal classic. The simplest version is The Suit I Can Read. The little creature is the child who has ideas, loves to try and always makes trouble, but always loves his parents and is loved by everyone. Isn't this the little naughty bag around us? Our family will show it now, which shows how much children like it.

3. Curious George

This set of books is available in English. It is recommended not to buy the Chinese version, because the original English language quality is very high! ! There are many clauses suitable for children's oral output and imitation, which are also very helpful for future writing. Be sure to accept the English version.

4. Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss's classic series, you can choose 8 episodes of the first series, mainly rhyming, and write hilarious stories with the simplest vocabulary. Many American children also grew up reading Dr. Seuss's books, and their status is equivalent to that of Andersen. However, it is not recommended to accept the late album at the beginning of enlightenment. It's so hard to understand. Just look at the basic "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, lanyu", "Jump on the pop" and so on.

5. Peter Cat

Peter Cat is also a classic in the series I Can Read. The key is that this cat is super positive energy and very optimistic! ! This is what I hope to pass on to my children. For example, the book in which he stepped on strawberry jam, blueberry jam, mud pit and puddle in his new shoes always ends with "No, he didn't cry, just kept humming". This set of books is very popular with children. I recommend it to you. You must see it.

Now my children insist on reading a picture book every day. There are many picture books, and you can accompany the fish at the beginning. Generally, I will let him listen to the teacher's explanation once a day, then read it and finally translate it. After six months, I will see how it works. I will read it myself, then translate it, and finally listen to the teacher. Mixed with reciting some words and sentences. The child is eight years old.

Recommended reason: The picture book writes seven regular small sentences by classifying the week and food, and superposes them, so that children can learn new vocabulary and consolidate the previous vocabulary, which is not easy to forget.

Reading English picture books is a good way to learn English and can also cultivate children's good reading habits. So how to choose English picture books? The following points are for your reference:

1. Choose English reading materials according to your child's age and language learning, and don't exceed the current learning level of your mother tongue (Chinese). Younger children should read brightly colored pictures and easy-to-understand picture books. Older readers can transition to readers with more English characters. Generally speaking, it should be close to life and vivid in content.

You can choose some audio books. Of course, it is best for parents to stay with their children and teach them to read and write, understand the contents of pictures and texts and enhance their feelings within their power.

English vocabulary is simple, cyclic, catchy and full of musical sense. This will help children build their confidence when they first come into contact with English.

3. English comics can also be studied with English picture books, such as Peggy Piggy, Polly Pony Pony, Wang Wang Team and so on. Each episode of animation is repeated many times, combined with video text and picture books for repeated practice. If there are any new words that can be extracted, guess the specific meaning according to the context first, and then look them up in the dictionary to increase the vocabulary.

Note: remember that children should not watch TV for too long, otherwise it will be bad for their glasses.

English picture books should be from shallow to deep, step by step. Many picture books are divided into many series, such as children's edition and children's edition, which are relatively convenient to choose. Readability, interest, price and other factors should also be considered comprehensively. I also searched and sorted out a summary table of English picture books which are relatively mainstream in the domestic market, hoping to help everyone.

Recommended picture books: Oxford Tree Series, Raz Series and Hyman Series.
