英语学习,阅读是大头,花在上面的时间应该是大部分。许多朋友在不断寻找新的读物,今天就来给大家介绍一下这套非常优质的《Herny and Mudge》,男孩和狗狗的故事。《亨利和玛琪》,Henry and Mudge,讲述的是男孩与狗的故事:小主人公Henry家里就他一个,感到孤单,所以他找到了Mudge这条“个子不矮、没有卷毛、耳朵不尖”的宠物狗。而这条小狗很快就长成了大狗,并且给他带来了意想不到的乐趣和好处:作为儿童文学作品,《Henry and Mudge》也承担了一定的语言教学功能,比如在Mudge走失、Henry去找这一段,出现了大量的词汇重复和螺旋式上升: One day Mudge took a walk without Henry. The sun was shining, the birds were flying, the grass smelled sweet. Mudge couldn’t wait for Henry. So he left. He went down one road, sniffing the bushes, then down another road, kicking up dust. He went through a field, across a stream, into some pine trees. And when he came out on the other side, he was lost. He couldn’t smell Henry. He couldn’t smell his front porch. He couldn’t smell the street he lived on. Mudge looked all around and didn’t see anything or anyone he knew. 我们看到,黑体显示的部分重复使用了couldn’t smell的句型,并且在最后一次重复时使用了含有定语从句的复合句型。这对于孩子的语言学习来说,是非常有效的重复和提高。Henry和Mudge的故事是如此吸引人,以至于这个系列一直写了几十本:01 Henry and Mudge (HAM) – The First Book of Their Adventures 02 HAM in Puddle Trouble03 HAM in the Green Time 04 HAM Under the Yellow Moon05 HAM in the Sparkle Days 06 HAM and he Forever Sea07 HAM Get the Cold Shivers08 HAM and the Happy Cat09 HAM and the Bedtime Thumps10 HAM Take the Big Test11 HAM and the Long Weekend12 HAM and the Wild Wind 13 HAM and the Careful Cousin14 HAM and the Best Day of All15 HAM in the Family Trees16 HAM and the Sneaky Crackers17 HAM and the Starry Night18 HAM and Annie’s Good Move19 HAM and the Snowman Plan20 HAM and Annie’s Perfect Pet21 HAM and the Tall Tree House22 HAM and Mrs. Hopper’s House23 HAM and the Wild Goose Chase 24 HAM and the Funny Lunch25 HAM and a Very Merry Christmas26 HAM and the Great Grandpas27 HAM and the Tumbling Trip28 HAM and the Big Sleepover腾讯视频上也有部分作品的视频朗读: 来听听专业演员朗读的录音: 特别的是,这套书还配有对应的语言练习,比如下面这一本:总共有31本练习书,配合28本故事书,可以说是非常丰富了!英语阅读,讲究一个主题阅读,通过这样围绕特定主题的文字,大大提高文字、句型的复现度。全系列初级章节书《Henry and Mudge》听完、读完,练习做完,小朋友将从语音、词汇、语法等各方面,尤其是从语言的实际应用和流动方面,得到可观的提高,是小学、初中阶段不可多得的优秀英语阅读材料。
