寫給媽媽們：不容錯過的自然拼讀法
現在的家長都十分重視孩子的早期教育，其中當然也包括英語啟蒙。媽媽們可能會發(fā)現，自己身邊的一些很早就開始接觸英語的孩子，在四五歲時就已經認識了很多單詞，甚至可以用一些簡單的句子流利地進行對話了。很多媽媽要問了，這些孩子是怎么做到的呢？我也想讓孩子盡早接觸英語，可就是不知道該從哪里入手。
這個問題其實并不難解決，媽媽們可以好好地思考一下，英語入門時，孩子最先接觸到的會是什么？
26個字母、單詞？
對話、閱讀、語法……
英語啟蒙當然要從最基礎、最簡單的方面入手。對學齡前的兒童來說，多多接觸常用單詞和日常對話是不錯的選擇。但是，即便是學習最簡短易懂的單詞，也需要孩子會讀才行。可英語中有那么多單詞，形式千變萬化，有長有短，怎么才能讓孩子輕松地把握拼讀的規(guī)律呢？
看到這里，有些媽媽可能會想到幫助拼讀的音標。在很長一段時間里，音標是使用非常廣泛的一種單詞拼讀方法。然而，音標一共有48個，僅在數量上就比26個英文字母還多了，更別提它們的形式比較復雜，不好區(qū)分。如果為低年齡段的兒童引入抽象的音標內容，好像非但沒有讓英語學習變得更簡單，反而會使孩子的頭腦變得更加混亂。那么，有沒有更適合兒童的拼讀方法呢？答案當然是有的，那就是本書將要介紹的自然拼讀法。
自然拼讀法是更適合低齡兒童學習的一種拼讀方法，它的特點如下：
01 接近國外母語學習
02 字母為基礎
03 實用性強
接近國外母語學習
自然拼讀法是很多以英語為母語的國家的孩子們常用的方法，那里的孩子們到了3歲左右，就會開始接觸自然拼讀，并用這種方式學習英文。這種方法的流行，與他們的閱讀習慣和思維方式是密不可分的，因此，學習自然拼讀法，有利于培養(yǎng)孩子的英語思維模式。
字母為基礎
自然拼讀的基礎就是26個英文字母，它直接通過單個字母和簡單字母組合的發(fā)音構建規(guī)則，好認又好記，容易被兒童接受。
實用性強
自然拼讀法主要講的是字母和字母組合的發(fā)音規(guī)律。這種方法的好處是，即使孩子不知道某個單詞的意思，也可以通過拆分字母和字母組合找到單詞的正確讀音，達到舉一反三的效果。這樣的方法適用于兒童所能接受的大部分單詞，因此這對發(fā)音練習、單詞學習和提高閱讀能力是很有好處的。
