Recommended! Picture books for private elementary schools and moms
In the Picture Books by Songs & Chants series, popular songs and chants have been turned into an entire story! The DVDs are also a big hit! The structure and repetition of phrases that comes from the songs makes it easy for students to understand without the need for Japanese translations. The stories including simple activities that the students are familiar with: “shopping at the supermarket”, “open the window”, “It’s xx o’clock. It’s time to xx.”, “Where are you?”, etc. Kids have fun remembering the language. The DVDs are especially great for use in classes!
| No.1 abcd Chants | “This easy-to-use alphabet picture book can be used with both lower and upper level elementary school students.” “Unlike other picture books, you can use this book little-by-little, starting from A.” |
| No.2 What’s in the Cart? | “The items in the cart gradually increase. The last items being said at double the speed is fun.” “It’s fun watching the DVD and guessing what is going to go into the cart next.” |
| No.3 Open the Window | “Lower elementary school students love this book. Everyone spoke up to say ‘tap, tap, tap’ when knocking on the window.” “The animals are cute, the animal sounds are fun, students easily remember the chants!” |

「わかった!エレファントがエクササイズする、だ!」と大声で叫んだりして、最後までその当てっこを楽しみました。
視聴第1回は「子ども達なりに当てっこを楽しむ」でしたが、これならきっと子どもたちも楽しみながら覚えていくと思います。
英語の音声に慣れ親しめるし、文字も目から認識していけると思います。
DVDは、見せたいところを焦点化して見せる映像にもなっているのがとても良いです。小学校では文字は「補助程度で」と規定されています。でも、見る・聞く、自然に覚えるという段階は幼児の文字学習の段階と同じなので、これを使いたいと思います。
