Roald Dahl / Dr Seuss Books
As a child progresses with age and experience with reading and once they gain enough confidence, I would encourage them to read books that are assisted with pictures that are not so difficult.
Books by the English author Roald Dahl or by the American author Dr Seuss are captivating and allow children to progress their reading skills with ease and confidence. Again there are so many amazing titles that it is impossible to choose only one. Here are a list of the top ones from each author:
子供の年齢が上がり、読書体験を通じて、十分な自信が得られたら、私は絵が挿入されている、あまり難しくない本を読むことを薦めます。
イギリスの作家 ロアルド・ダールやアメリカの作家ドクター・スースの本は、人々の心を捉えて、子供達の読書スキルを簡単にそして、自信を持って、向上させます。何回も言いますが、本当に素晴らしい本は、いっぱいありますので、一冊だけを選ぶ事は不可能です。下記は、各作家のおすすめ本リストです。
All children at a young age enjoy singing and dancing, especially at a young age. It’s a really easy way to get children to remember target language (instead of drilling the language, which can get very boring). Just look at the recent PPAP phenomenon! “I have a pen. I have (an) apple.” Has been repeated a frustrating amount of times in my classroom due to its catchy appeal and quirky hand gestures but nevertheless it has been very useful in teaching English in a fun and memorable way.
There are a vast amount of songs out there from nursery rhymes, Disney songs and other songs that are aimed at children. It’s impossible to name just one, but if you feel that your child could benefit from more audible materials then I would highly recommend any adult to search on YouTube or look in your local bookstore for CD’s or DVD’s.
In my experience, kids get into certain songs extremely quickly, but they can become disinterested in them just as quickly. Japanese children in particular until a certain age (around 8 or 9 I would assume) have no problem with singing or making gestures while doing so whereas children above this age are extremely disinterested in such activities perhaps due to shyness or even because they have simply grown out of such things.
Please note that I highly recommend songs from an English speaking country. PPAP has been a great trend but mistakes are just as easy to learn too. For example dropping articles such as ‘a’, ‘an’ and ‘the’ are quite common mistakes that originate from Japanese/English songs as well as unnatural pronunciation features.
Cannot recommend any specific songs as there are too many that are similar in quality. The exploring is part of the fun!
質の似通った歌はたくさんありすぎて、特定の歌をお勧めすることはできません。色々と探求してみるのも、楽しいですよ!
私が言いたいのは、英語圏の歌をお勧めしますよ、ということです。PPAPはとても流行していますが、あまりにも覚えやすすぎるという欠点もあります。例えばa,an, theといった冠詞を落としてしまうのはよくある間違いで、両言語には不自然な発音上の特徴があるのと同様に、歌が日本語または英語であることに起因しているものです。
同じような質の歌があまりにも多いので、ある特定の歌をお勧めすることはできません。探すのも楽しいですよ!
