As you may say, the baby of a star family has the conditions and environment to learn English, always goes abroad, can afford a foreign teacher, and attends a bilingual kindergarten ... And I, who am not good at English, don't have the conditions.
NONONO, actually, where is it so difficult to create an English learning environment for the baby? You can do it at home!
Moreover, the method is very simple. You can learn English easily by replacing online celebrity cartoons such as Piggy Page and Wang Wang Team with the following natural spelling cartoons of the minority.
Duration of each episode: about 35 minutes.
Suitable age: 2~6 years old
Leap Frog Letter Factory mainly tells the story of the little jumping frog learning English happily with the help of Dr. Quigley.
In order to attract the baby in front of the TV, the letters here are very anthropomorphic and can speak. They live in their own rooms and have their own personalities. In animation, each letter is also designed with a unique pronunciation scene, and the sound that appears in this scene is often the pronunciation of the letter.
For example, the letter C is afraid of cold, but its room is so cold that it freezes. When Brother Frog arrived there, he shivered with cold, even his teeth trembled wildly, and he made [K], [K], [K] sounds. And this [K] is the pronunciation of C.
As long as the baby has seen this episode and feels cold and wordy next time, it will be associated with this letter and pronunciation.
And the letter M likes eating very much. Every time I am full, I will touch my stomach contentedly and make a sound of [M ~ ~], which is just the pronunciation of M, that is, nasal sound [m].
Here is a short clip from Leap Frog Letter Factory:
Do you think it's quite understandable? When children instinctively begin to imitate pronunciation, letters will be unconsciously learned.
Besides letters, this cartoon has other themes, such as mathematics, simple addition and subtraction, etc. Under the influence of images and sounds, I believe that the baby will gradually become interested in English.
Duration of each episode: about 3 minutes.
Suitable age: 2~6 years old
The cartoon Alphablocks (alphabet building blocks) is also very interesting in the form of English enlightenment. Moreover, the BBC is specially made for babies to learn natural spelling, which is very professional.
Let's see how it guides the baby-
The letters in this cartoon are small building blocks, which will be freely combined and transformed into different words. Every time a new word is formed, a specific thing will appear to deepen the baby's understanding.
When the letter B meets the two letters E, the word "bee" is formed. At this time, a little bee will fly overhead.
When it comes to the combination of letters B, E and D, the three letters immediately sit on a bed, and the meaning of "bed" is obvious, which is a bed. However, the letter B was quickly replaced by R, and together they pronounced "red", and the color of the bed turned red accordingly.
In this way, the baby will understand that red means red. When you read more, you will naturally accumulate a lot of vocabulary from the process of spelling.
Moreover, the duration of each episode of "Alphablocks" is not long, only 3 minutes, and you can quickly show your baby an episode anytime and anywhere.
Duration of each episode: about 28 minutes.
Suitable age: 4~6 years old
Word World is also an animated film produced by BBC, which is very popular with foreign parents. In this cartoon, every grass and tree is an English enlightenment to the baby, because the world inside it is completely composed of words. As long as the baby takes a look, he can roughly understand the meaning of the word from the "shape" shaped by the word.
For example, the house that first appeared was made up of the word "house". Coupled with its high frequency of appearance, the baby will soon leave the impression that "house is a house".
Moreover, the materialized images of words are lovely and vivid, such as the words "Dog" and "Duck" on puppies and ducklings, which are clearly distinguishable, and their voices are soft and cute when they talk. Babies' curiosity is aroused in this way, and they can't help but want to learn.
However, the subtitles of this animation are all in English, and some of the contents will be a little difficult for the baby, so it is still necessary for mom and dad to guide and explain.
Duration of each episode: about 25 minutes.
Suitable age: 3~6 years old
Mothers not only want their babies to be good at English, but also want their babies to like reading. This cartoon can help you.
《Super WHY! The fairy tale characters in Reading Magic live in the story village behind the bookshelf. They have their own magic. Some are good at finding letters, some are good at spelling words and some are good at reading. Each episode of the cartoon will enter a different story, and everyone will use their own unique magic to help others solve problems.
In the episode "Three Little Pigs", in order to help the little pig's house not be blown down by the wolf. The magic team needs signposts to tell them the route of the wolves. But the letters on the road sign faded, and the letter pig used the magical letter tool to find four letters of "wolf" from 26 letters and fill them in. So, the road sign pointed out the route for them.
This kind of situational reading is not only interesting, but also allows the baby to understand the spelling and meaning of words.
Don't worry that reading is too difficult for the baby. In this animation, the protagonist will interact with the child in Chinese, and only repeat it in English when guiding key words. The word basis of reading is also very common, which is just suitable for the cognitive level of young babies.
The most intimate thing is that the protagonist will specially use the display box to ask questions to the baby outside the screen, giving the baby time to think and answer. After a few seconds, the answer pops up, and the protagonist will pull the correct words into the sentence and take the baby to read. Over time, the baby's word level can be improved!
After reading the game, they will not only summarize the knowledge of the day, but also encourage the baby to praise himself! The inspired baby is expected to fall in love with the Super Magic Team soon after a pleasant experience.
Duration of each episode: about 26 minutes.
Suitable age: 3~6 years old
In Between the Lions (our family is all lions), the reading atmosphere is even stronger. Because the hero lion family lives in the library, they read different books every day to edify their children. Moreover, the protagonist is the baby's favorite puppet image, full of intimacy.
However, they never read the book stiffly, but combined songs, animations and puppet shows to make the baby understand the contents of the book. Therefore, the overall atmosphere is still very relaxed and happy.
In the middle of each episode, a real person will split each word and let the baby observe the mouth shape to master the correct pronunciation. After repeating it several times, the baby will say it.
Not only that, when explaining key words, there will be new animations to emphasize the changes after the reorganization of letters. For example, "bell" will become "wet" after reorganization. Roman soldiers also watered each other and interpreted the meaning of "wet", that is, "wet".
Do you think the content form is quite rich? For babies over 3 years old who just started reading, its reading guidance effect is really great. Moreover, this cartoon has won 7 Emmy Awards in the United States, and the degree of recognition is quite high. Don't miss it!
