知足的幸福點滴

       2011   4/3(二)    3Y4M3D

       小佑子昨天早上（週一）拿出新繪本"Manster The Monster"看,問迷幾個生字的意思。迷就他發問逐一說明後,發現佑看文字內容看得專注認真,擔心他傷眼;因為此書是中英雙語文字,但是內容較其他書多(佑目前自己可唸讀的書),字體又偏小,遂將英文內容另外打字(verdana字體,20)讓佑看得輕鬆。

先說此書由來~

       上週三晚上逛南勢角夜市發現一書攤,精裝本雙語繪本一本才50元(也有"球球看世界"那一套),迷覺得很便宜,雖然選擇不算多,但是可以挑著買,不用一次就得買下一整套!

~省多了!^ ^b

       迷就寶貝佑最近生活可連結的議題和適合佑閱讀的程度選兩本繪本:

1. "怪獸孟思特"(MANSTER THE MONSTER)

<九童國際文化>

~未滿兩歲就開始發展恐懼心理的小佑子（怕黑的想像）,在迷一番正向引導和漸進式訓練之下,滿３歲的佑已無懼黑暗和想像的鬼怪。但是此時的佑很喜歡用"monster","ghost"製造話題,或故意說別人是"怪物"做負向連結或是以此為藉口不與那些人互動和打招呼(有陌生人也有親友)。

迷不想佑只想著"monster"負面的形象,希望佑對於"monster"也有正面的連結和想像;此書的內容正適合為那些monsters作平反。

2. "佛勞利的冒險"(FLOWERY'S ADVENTURE)

<九童國際文化>

~迷一直很鼓勵膽小如鼠(正是屬鼠!)的俗辣佑勇於嘗試和冒險。隨著佑年齡增長和有趣的體驗增加,寶貝佑的確越來越勇敢,加上此時"愛挑戰"(唱反調和故意破壞規矩)又"暴衝",真的很怕他在公共場合失控或失蹤!

因此迷覺得有必要一直幫佑界定"冒險"的真義;其實蠻難的,又希望佑勇於探險,又怕他太無知身陷未知的風險和危險!!......所以這本還沒帶佑看,因為迷還沒想好適切的連結!!

此篇記錄緣由:

        好一陣子沒紀錄關於佑自行閱讀或唸讀的文(上一篇是1月時 ~ 新母子共讀方式 ),

因為沒時間~迷記錄這些需要整塊完整的時間整理和打字......以前會犧牲睡眠時間趁佑睡著時打字,現在迷都會跟著一起睡了!所以只好記錄在腦裡(可惜記不久!)或是簡單紀錄於草稿(佑不喜歡迷坐電腦前打字!),有機會或有片段時間再拼湊成文。

      小佑子這陣子仍持續自行閱讀和唸讀一些英文內容的故事或繪本(套書居多):

依句型和內容易至難~

1. 昆蟲躲貓貓 X5 (附CD) <曉明>

～ 1Y8M ,  (  1歲8個月的書  )

2. 啟思兒童文學圖畫叢書 X24 (附CD) <啟思文學>

～ 2Y11M ( 逕自唸讀6本書 )

3. THE AMAZING MACHINES X10 <KINGFISHER>

～2Y6M ,高姨送的~感恩!

4. 幼幼生活動畫繪本(Momo & his family) X6 <牛津家族>

～2Y1M ,盈阿姨送的~感恩!

5. 球球看世界 X12 (附CD) <九童國際文化>

～1Y10M , ( 1歲10個月的書~套書的啟程 )

6. 中英雙語童話 X12 (附CD) <幼福>

～2Y , ( 滿2歲的書 )

       以上,小佑子不一定是套書的每一本或是故事的每一頁都念;想唸時佑就一本接著一本,邊看圖且邊唸文(文字較多的迷會介入和管控,擔心他傷眼力);有時則見他跳著看,有注意的內文或句子就唸一唸.......隨他興致或心之所嚮!

       迷想著之前記錄過幾篇佑自行閱讀(以上讀本)的文就算是具代表性,無須再逐篇紀錄;畢竟還有"陪小寶貝學英文"的單元("從拼讀到閱讀")定期記錄著佑學習和進步的過程。

       另外,那些故事佑以前常聽CD,還有常聽迷念,有些甚至聽1年多了!"聲音記憶"應該不少;加上對圖片和內容的熟悉度,若依佑現在認字和拼讀進步的程度,要他自己念讀那些內容應該不算太難! 

       此篇欲紀錄的新故事,迷在上週五和週六說英文的給佑聽過,週日時卿姨有說中文的給佑聽。以佑有時驚人的記憶力是可能已記得這故事情節和重點了!但是就聽這麼3次,英文內容才聽了兩次且不是和故事文字一模一樣(迷有時也喜歡隨興說或換句話說)!

       佑今天自己又翻出此書閱讀而且逐字唸讀起來?

這是一個新現象（這麼快自己念）!^ ^b,且讓迷覺得他有"進階",算刷新紀錄,應該加以記錄!

MANSTER THE MONSTER          

<九童國際文化>

~迷沒有指著字給佑念,就由他自己隨性閱讀;佑時而先看文字,時而先看圖片......但見佑緩緩唸完當頁的內容並對照圖片後才翻下一頁繼續唸.......唸一唸佑發現迷在注意他念,猶是叫迷指字給他念(約唸了15分鐘):

黑色~佑念錯或不會的字

綠色加底線~佑會唸的生字但是不懂其意

There once was a monster named Manster, who lived far , far from Imaginary town .

No one knew exactly where he was . No one knew exactly what he looked like .

But in Imaginary Town , people said that he could take on the shape of any one or anything to scare people .

Thinking that Manster had become a witch , little babies would wake up in the night and cry .

Afraid that Manster was hiding in the corner , little kids would not dare to go out after dark .

Mothers warned their naughty children ,

“Behave yourselves , or Manster will get you .”

The warning worked . Not a single child would misbehave .

“This book is nonsense ,” Manster said , slamming the book Manster the Monster shut .

 “When have I ever grabbed babies ?” he said , upset .

“When have I ever hidden to scare people ?” he continued .

 “Never !” Not a single time !

           The residents in Imaginary Town , however , pictured Manster as a terrible monster .

  “And the picture they draw of me are so ugly ,” Manster said , looking at himself in the mirror .

 What made Manster the maddest was that he was not really ugly .

 He had a big head , little eyes , a round body and straight nose .

 He was lovely .

 “I need to make people in Imaginary Town understand me ,” Manster thought .

So he decided to visit the town .

            First , he came to the house of Long legged Lu-Lu .

He had heard that Lu-Lu was the most beautiful girl in the town . He wanted to find out .

 “Is Ms. Lu-Lu at home ?”

 “Who is it ?” The door opened , showing a big white face .

“You ? You ? You are Lu-Lu ?” Manster was so surprised that he couldn’t go on .

 “Is this the beauty of Imaginary Town ?” he thought .

        But Lu-Lu was even more surprised than he was , and yelled so loud that Manster’s ears couldn’t stand it .

Manster had no choice but to run away .

          Next , he came to the house of Peter the Crybaby , and heard Peter crying , “Boo-hoo-hoo !”

 “This Peter must be heartbroken , so I will comfort him ,” Monster said to himself .

 Manster climbed to a window and saw Peter sitting on the kitchen floor .

“Hi , Peter !” said Manster , greeting him warmly .

 Peter saw him and suddenly cried loudly .

 “Shh ! Shh ! Quiet , quiet !” Manster could not stop him , so left quickly .

 “What’s the matter with me ?” Do I look terrifying ?” Manster wondered .

He was disappointed , and said to himself ,

“Well , if the people of Imaginary Town do not wish to see me , then I’ll just go home .”

Then he saw the light in Yuan-Yuan’s house still on .

“O.K. ,” thought Manster ,

“This is the last chance .”

        This time Manster decided to enter through the chimney .

 When his big hips touched the floor , it made a lot of noise .

Father , Mother , Yuan-Yuan and Yuan-Yuan’s sister all came downstairs to see what was going on .

 When they saw the big “arrival ” falling from the chimney , they all cheered ,

“Mother”, “Father !”

“Manster is real !” Yuan-Yuan said , excitedly .

His sister touched Manster’s arm and face . She was delighted .

“Manster is not terrible at all , Father .

Please don’t write that he’s a monster .”

Father , the author of Manster the Monster , was red-faced , scratched his head and said ,

“Well , you really are different from what I wrote . ”

Manster was the star of his book .

“Oh it doesn’t matter .

Only , could you draw me a little more handsome ? ”

Manster still cared about his looks in the book .

Making friends with Yuan-Yuan’s family , Manster left happily and returned home .

Yuan-Yuan’s father continues to write Manster the Monster ,

but now Manster is no longer a monster who plays tricks on people .

Instead , he is the gentlest , kindest , most sociable , delightful creature .

          Of course , Manster is handsome and dashing in the book .

Because Yuan-Yuan’s father has a real model now .

~The End

~佑唸完自己下結論說:Manster 他想要 make everyone is happy .

馬迷心發現:

1.佑喜歡看的書不見得喜歡念?

3/8在台中敦煌,寶貝佑選了兩本書:

(1)GERMS MAKE ME SICK !

 <Harper Collins>

~2月起,佑對"體內器官"和"細菌"甚感興趣.....超多問題;迷當時挑了幾本敘述器官或細菌的給他選一本,佑考慮後選此本書!

此後幾乎每天都會拿來叫迷說給他聽.....有些內容佑已記熟(不用看書可脫口而出):

EX.細菌和病毒的長相:

Under a microscope ,

some bacteria look like little round balls .

Other are as straight as rods .

Still others are twisted in spiral shapes .

Viruses are far tinier than bacteria .

Some look like balls with spikes sticking out on all sides .

Other look like loaves of bread  or like tadpoles .

There are even some that look like metal screws with spider legs .

(2)I wonder why Planes Have Wings

<KINGFISHER>

 ~這本也是佑自己選的,他從9個月大至今一直充滿興趣的"交通工具"相關資訊!

這本字體較大,佑有時會自己邊看圖邊看文,但是不會自己從頭到尾唸讀!

       以上兩本書是寶貝佑3月份的"愛書",幾乎每天都會拿給馬迷唸給他聽一次。但是佑自己翻閱時大多是看圖,文字則是跳著看(佑提出問題跟迷討論而得知),從未曾自己念讀全部內容!

迷很好奇~是因為內容偏難?還是內容較多?還是因為它們對佑來說不算是"故事"?

2. 之前佑會認字和看文時,聽迷說故事都會注意或是在意迷念的跟故事文字不相符,現在這部份有些改變!

佑聽故事時依舊是會提醒迷哪些內容(有些小插圖的文字或對話框部分的內容)還沒唸到......至於迷"換句話說"或是延伸解釋還是隨意連結的部份,佑現在不會"計較"了,反而是佑也會提出想法加入討論甚至自己做些連結或總結~

EX."GERMS MAKE ME SICK !"

原文:"The white cells in your blood go after any germs that sneak in .  Usually , these cells kill the germs before they can do any harm .

Your blood also has special proteins that attack germs . They are called antibodies ."

迷:The white cells in your blood go after any germs that sneak in .

If you are healthy and your white blood cells are strong enough , usually ,white blood cells can eat bad germs before bad germs do any harm or make you sick .

佑:White blood cells and antibodies fight with bad germs and kill bad germs if you have a healthy and strong body .

迷：Yes , your blood also has special proteins that attack germs .

They are called antibodies , they look like germs , but they are good for you and they can fight with bad germs .

You may eat healthy food contains lots of proteins like fish , meat , eggs , milk , beans , to improve your  antibodies then antibodies will win the bad germs .

佑：fish , meat ,eggs , milk and beans are good food contain many proteins .

Eat good food  improve my antibodies and make me healthier .

And apple is good food , and rice and vegetables and fruit is good food too .

And there are lots of ways to stay healthy ,

like wash hands before eat something , and brush teeth after meal , and sleep well , and do some exercise can make me stronger .

Then my white blood cells and antibodies has beaten back the bateria and viruses .

~想不到佑會說出這一大串(最近"說英文"進步很多!)^ ^b.......說很快又很順口,沒注意聽有些還聽不懂!但是請他重複說(因為迷有些沒聽清楚)他仍是說出類似甚至一模一樣的詞;那些就是他已內化的想法吧!
