與中文的語言學習過程類似,學習英文也要經(jīng)歷一個從聽音到說,再到讀寫的循序漸進的過程。用兒歌、游戲和在生活用語中培養(yǎng)語感,再慢慢了解字母,拼讀法(字母發(fā)音,單詞開頭發(fā)音,單詞結尾的押韻),元音發(fā)音之后,下一個階段就是要熟練掌握基本詞Sight Words了,因為基本詞占據(jù)了閱讀中50-70%的詞匯量,熟練掌握基本詞能夠極大提高閱讀和寫作的流暢度。
需要知道的是,語言的學習真的不需要“課本”和生硬的按教材上課,根據(jù)不同的年齡和英文水平,在上面提到的每個學習階段里,結合兒歌,游戲,聽故事,默讀,朗讀,畫故事,寫字等練習,就能夠讓孩子在快樂學習的同時自然掌握相應的語言能力。所以到了開始sight words練習這一階段,預設的前提是孩子已經(jīng)經(jīng)歷了2-3年的英文環(huán)境浸染,達到1-3級獨立閱讀的水平,很多基本詞應該都已經(jīng)在以往的閱讀經(jīng)驗中認識了,此時要做的只是加強對它們的熟悉程度,能夠看到就馬上讀出來,并正確拼寫。小學每個年級都有不同難度的Sight Words列表,下面是一些初級基本詞:
