家長想從小建立兒童英語閱讀能力,便要做好三個基本功。除了和子女多認Vocabulary(生字),以及讓他們學習Phonics(英文拼音)之外,家長還可以教他們認讀Sight Words(視覺字)。學會常見的Sight Words後,連幼稚園小朋友都可以自行閱讀英文句子,甚至是英文圖書!以下是150個幼兒必學Sight Words,供各位家長參考。
Sight Words(視覺字)又名Dolch Words,是由美國教育家E. W. Dolch博士深入研究和分析兒童初級讀物後的發現。他發現某些單字在兒童圖書中經常重複出現,並整理出1000個這類的英文常用字。對於一些開始閱讀英文句子和書籍的小朋友,他鼓勵他們先認讀Sight Words。把Sight Words記住後,小朋友會在閱讀上有很大的成就感,學習動機也會大大提升。
小朋友學習Sight Words的困難之處,在於當中有很多抽象的單字,如be、off和if,還有一些單字是與時態(Tenses)和單複數型態(Singular And Plural)有關,要向小朋友單獨解釋這些字並不容易。因此家長要配合情境和例句加以解釋,幫助小朋友記憶Sight Words。
