You may say that the baby of a star family has the conditions and environment to learn English, has been going abroad, can afford foreign teachers and attend bilingual kindergartens ... but I, a person with poor English, don't have this condition.
NONONO, actually, why is it so difficult to create an English learning environment for the baby? You can do it at home!
Moreover, the method is simple. You can learn English easily by replacing the cartoons of online celebrities such as Piggy Page and Wang Wang Team with the natural spelling cartoons of the following minority.
Duration of each episode: about 35 minutes.
Suitable age: 2~6 years old
The Letter Factory of Jumping Frog mainly tells the story of 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 talk. They live in their own rooms and have their own personalities. In animation, each letter has a unique pronunciation scene, and the sound 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 got there, he was shivering with cold, even his teeth were shaking wildly, making [K], [K] and [K] sounds. And this [K] is the pronunciation of C.
As long as the baby has seen this episode and feels cold and verbose next time, it will associate with this letter and pronunciation.
And the letter m likes it very much. Every time I am full, I will feel my stomach contentedly and make the sound of [M ~ ~], which is exactly the pronunciation of m, that is, nasal sound [m].
The following is a short film from Leap Frog Letter Factory:
Do you think this is easy to understand? When children instinctively begin to imitate pronunciation, letters will be learned unconsciously.
Besides letters, this cartoon has other themes, such as mathematics, simple addition and subtraction, etc. Under the influence of images and sounds, I believe the baby will gradually become interested in English.
Duration of each episode: about 3 minutes.
Suitable age: 2~6 years old
The English enlightenment form of animated film Alphablocks is also very interesting. Moreover, the BBC is specialized in learning natural spelling for babies, which is very professional.
Let's see how it guides babies-
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 concrete thing will appear to deepen the baby's understanding.
When the letter B meets 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. The meaning of "bed" is obvious, that is, bed. But the letter B was soon replaced by R. They read "red" together, and the color of the bed turned red accordingly.
So the baby will understand that red means red. If you read more, you will naturally accumulate a lot of vocabulary from the process of spelling.
Moreover, 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 for the baby, because the world inside 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 earliest house is made up of the word "house". Coupled with its high frequency, the baby will soon leave the impression that "the house is the house".
Moreover, the materialized images of the characters are lovely and vivid, such as the words "dog" and "duck" on puppies and ducklings, which are clearly identifiable and have soft and lovely voices when speaking. This is how the baby's curiosity is aroused and he 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, and it still needs parents to guide and explain.
Duration of each episode: about 25 minutes.
Suitable age: 3~6 years old
Mother not only wants her baby to be good at English, but also wants her baby 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 people are good at finding letters, some are good at spelling words, and some are good at reading. Each episode of comics will enter a different story, and everyone will use their 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 street sign faded, and the letter pig used the magic letter tool to find out 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, reading is too difficult for the baby. In this animation, the protagonist will interact with children in Chinese and only repeat English when guiding keywords. The word base of reading is also very common, just suitable for the baby's cognitive level.
The most intimate thing is that the protagonist will deliberately 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 will pop up, and the protagonist will pull the correct word into the sentence and take the baby to read it. Over time, the baby's word level can be improved!
After watching 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
Among lions (our family are all lions), the reading atmosphere is stronger. Because the hero lions live in the library, they read different books every day to cultivate their children. And the protagonist is the baby's favorite puppet image, full of intimacy.
However, they never read this book stiffly, but combine songs, animations and puppet shows to let the baby understand the contents of the book. So the overall atmosphere is still very relaxed and happy.
In the middle of each episode, there will be a real person to separate each word, so that the baby can observe the mouth shape to master the correct pronunciation. After repeating it several times, the baby will say it.
Not only that, when explaining the 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 explained the meaning of "wet", that is, "wet".
Do you think the content form is quite rich? For the baby who just started reading at the age of 3, its reading guidance effect is really great. Moreover, this cartoon has won 7 Emmy Awards in the United States, and its recognition is quite high. Don't miss it!
