小學英語自主課外閱讀
小學生由於剛剛開始學習英語，所學知識內容的有限，教師往往忽視對學生閱讀能力的培養，這不利於學生的學習知識的發展。閱讀是吸收英語語言材料、增加語言知識、擴大詞彙量的最重要的手段,能為英語口語能力和寫作能力的發展打下良好的基礎，也能使學生從英語閱讀中認識學習英語的真正意義和價值，體驗學習英語的樂趣。那麼如何有效提高學生的英語閱讀能力呢？下面是我在英語閱讀上的一些具體做法和探究。 一、趣味教學，激發閱讀興趣 興趣是最好的老師。因而，小學英語教學必須最大限度地激發學生的學習興趣。而閱讀能力更是直接受到閱讀興趣的影響，閱讀興趣高，閱讀動機就強。教師的任務就是引發學生天生的閱讀興趣和好奇心，使閱讀成為令人愉快的活動。這是順利開展英語閱讀教學、有效提高學生英語閱讀水平的根本保證。對英語學習者來說，如果沒有詞彙，聽、說、讀、寫任何方面都談不上。掌握詞彙是英語學習的基礎，更是進行閱讀的前提。因此在教學中我十分注重學生詞彙的學習和積累。單一的讀讀寫寫的學習方法激發不了學生認讀識記單詞的慾望，只有增加詞彙學習和識記的趣味性，才能使學生真正願意並樂意去積累詞彙。在平時的詞彙教學中，我將兒歌、游戲等多種形式帶進課堂，在學習的同時完成詞彙的積累。 二、精心設計閱讀教學，提高閱讀能力 對於英語學習入門階段的小學生來說，傳統的閱讀教學是比較乏味枯燥的，教師應改革過去的閱讀教學模式，積極探索新的方法，精心設計閱讀教學。為了提高學生的閱讀能力，我認為可以從這幾個方面去嘗試和實踐。一是可以讓學生試著把文章轉變為對話，進行表演。通過編對話、表演，再回去朗讀那篇文章，就更有助於對材料的理解。在這樣一個學習過程中，不僅學生的英語閱讀能力得到了鍛煉，也培養了學生的思維能力、分析能力和創新能力。其次，老師可以尋找一些語言材料和學生一起閱讀和理解，直接幫助學生提高這方面的能力，擴大學生的詞彙量，然後再和學生一起將這些小故事改編成小的短劇。一起來讀一讀，演一演，激發學生的學習興趣。再次，我們也可以參照語文的教學方法，給學生一些圖片，讓學生進行看圖寫話的訓練，自編故事。還有就是老師要盡可能讓學生多接觸一些難度適中，詞彙量合適的文章或對話讓學生閱讀，這對今後也是有幫助的。 三、課外閱讀，豐富閱讀積累 學生英語閱讀能力的提高是一個長期的、循序漸進的過程，毫無捷徑，貴在堅持，重在積累。因此，我鼓勵學生積極進行課外閱讀。課外閱讀脫離了課堂教學的時間、空間的限制，更具有自主性和靈活性。通過課外閱讀，為學生提供大量的接觸英語語料的機會，增強了學生的語感，豐富了學生的知識，了解了中外文化差異，從而提升了學生閱讀及理解的層次，拓展學習的深度與廣度，積小流而成江海，積硅步而至千里。 總之，我們在從小學高年級開始，不僅要讓學生學會用所學的語言項目進行交際訓練，更要注意逐步培養學生自主從口頭和書面材料中提取信息，擴展知識，提高閱讀能力。因此作為英語教師，我們要在教學中認真總結，積極探索豐富多彩的教學形式和訓練方式，充分挖掘學生潛力，激發學生閱讀興趣，調動學生學習的積極性，從而更快更有效地提高小學生閱讀能力。
② 小學生英語課外閱讀故事
An unlucky fox fell into a well. It was quite deep, so he could not get out by himself..
A goat passed by. He asked the fox what he was doing in the well. "Oh, have you not heard?" said the fox. "There is going to be a great drought, so I jumped down to get some water. Why don't you come down here too?"
The goat believed his words, and jumped down into the well.
But the fox immediately jumped on the goat's back and up to the edge of the well. "Good-bye, friend," said the fox. "Remember next time don't trust the advice of a man in difficulties."

一隻山羊經過這里，便問狐狸在井下做什麼。狐狸說："哦，你沒有聽說嗎？這里將要大旱滲掘，因此我跳進來取水，為什麼你不下來一起喝呢？"
山羊相信了狐狸的話，就真的跳進井裡。狐狸立即跳上山羊的背，又一跳，跳上了井沿。
"再見，朋友，"狐狸說，"記住，不要相信一個身陷麻煩的人的建議。"

A man has two dogs: a hound and a housedog. He trains the hound to help him hurt and teaches the housedog to watch the house. When he returns home after a day』s hunt, he always gives the house-dog some meat. The hound feels very angry. He says unhappily to the housedog, 「Where I work very hard outside, you share my food.」 「Don』t blame me, my friend. You should blame the master. He doesn』t teach me to hurt, but to share other』s food,」 the housedog answers.
Don』t blame children for the mistakes of their parent.
譯文：
有一個人養了兩條狗：一條是獵犬，一條是看家狗。他訓練獵狗幫他打獵，教看家狗守家。當獵人打了一天獵回家後，總要分給看家狗一些肉，獵狗對此很生氣。它不高興地對看家狗說道：「我在外邊追捕獵物十分辛苦，而你在家什麼都不做，但你卻分享我的食物。」看家狗回答道：「不要責怪我，我的朋友。你應該去責備主人。他不教我打獵，卻只教我分享別人的食物。」
不要因為父母的錯誤而去責備孩子。

大家知道為什麼豌豆身上有一條是嫌拿鏈黑色的嗎?下面是我整理的英語閱讀材料《木炭，稻草和豌豆》，希望能幫到大家!
THE STRAW, CHARCOAL AND THE PEA
A long time ago there lived a poor grandmother. “Today, I will make a dish out of peas.” Grandmother prepared to light the oven furnace with firewood and straw. “Ouch, Ouch” “Oh my goodness.” As soon as the peas were poured into the pot, each one cried out.
Just then, when the grandmother wasn’t looking one pea jumped out of the pot and rolled in front the straw. “Whew! I made it. But where am I?” The pea whispered to himself.
Right about then, a lump of charcoal that was burning in the furnace made a small cry and flew out. “Gosh! This is hard” The charcoal squinted his eyes and wiped his sweat away.
The straw first questioned the pea. “Pea, how did you get here?” “From grandmother’s pot, just as the fire was being lite up to cook me and my friends, I ran away” The pea proudly boasted.
Next, the straw asked the charcoal. “How did you get here?” “With all my strength from the pot, I just barely got out.” Charcoal replied weakly.
When the straw heard this, he poured out his heart too. “敏悉My fate is similar to yours too. All my brothers went into the fire, but luckily I slipped out through the fingers.” “Oh I see!” “Really?” The pea and the charcoal each said a word and nodded.
Charcoal said in a worried voice. “What should we do now?” “Since, we all escaped luckily let us live together in this strange land.”
In hearing pea, charcoal and straw thought for a moment. “What should we do?” “I think we should do what the pea said.”芹孫 So, the pea, charcoal and the straw decided to leave that place.
It hadn’t been long since they left when they came across a stream. “How can we cross the stream?” “There’s no stepping stone, if only there were some logs.? “We can’t go back, can’t there be a better way?” They stared at one another and worried.
A little while later, the straw thought of a good idea. “Since my body is light and long, if I lie down and stretch myself across the stream you guys can cross.” “Will it be alright?” “We will have to see.” On the one hand, pea and charcoal couldn’t help in worrying.
The straw laid across the stream. “Hurry! You must cross quickly. If you stay in one place too long, I could catch on fire.” Charcoal quickly began crossing over the straw.
But, as charcoal was crossing, he looked down. “I'm scared! Oh what should I doΑ” Charcoal could no longer move. “Hurry up and cross!” Straw said with all his might.
However, just at that moment, from the charcoal the straw caught on fire. “Oh no!” The straw broke in two and fell into the stream. “Ahh!” At the same time, charcoal fell into the water.
Pea, who was watching this scene, couldn’t help laughing. “Ha Ha Ha” “Ha Ha Ha” The pea laughed so hard that he broke in two. “Oh no, I’m dying”
Luckily just then, a tailor was crossing the bridge. “I will rest here for a while.” “Help me” the tailor heard a faint voice and found the split pea.
The sympathetic tailor sewed the split pea back together, “You are lucky that I’m a tailor.” “I’m really fortunate.” As the tailor was finishing up sewing the pea, the pea said gratefully.
The pea thanked the tailor. “Thank you very much.” “But, because the thread is black there will be a mark.” Just like the tailor said, since then there was a black mark down the middle of the pea.
參考翻譯
很久以前，有一個貧窮的祖母。“今天，我要用豌豆做一道菜。”祖母准備用柴火和稻草點燃爐子。“哎喲，哎喲”“哦我的上帝。“只要豌豆倒進鍋里，每一個哭了。
就在這時，當祖母沒有看的時候，一隻豌豆從鍋里跳了出來，滾到了稻草前面。“唷!我成功了。但我在哪裡?豌豆對自己耳語道。
就在這時，一塊木炭在爐子里燃燒，發出一聲小小的哭聲就飛走了。“天啊!這是艱難的“炭眯著眼睛，擦了擦汗水帶走。
稻草先問豌豆。“豌豆，你怎麼到這兒來的?“從奶奶的鍋，就像火被精簡了做飯我和我的朋友，我跑了”豌豆驕傲。
下一步，稻草問木炭。“你怎麼到這兒來的?“我從鍋里拿出全部力氣，我幾乎沒法出來。”。
當稻草聽到這個，他也傾吐了他的心。“我的命運和你的一樣。我所有的'兄弟都進了火，幸好我從指縫里滑了出來!“真的嗎?豌豆和木炭各自說了一句話，點了點頭。
炭用焦急的聲音說。“我們現在該怎麼辦?“既然，我們都僥幸逃脫了，讓我們一起住在這個陌生的地方。”
聽到豌豆，木炭和稻草想了一會兒。“我們該怎麼辦?“我想我們應該照豌豆說的去做，”豌豆、木炭和稻草決定離開那個地方。
他們走了一段小溪後不久就離開了。“我們怎麼過這條小溪?“如果有一些圓木，就沒有踏腳石.?“我們不能回去，難道沒有更好的辦法嗎?他們互相凝視著，擔心。
過了一會兒，稻草想到了一個好主意。“因為我的身體又輕又長，如果我躺下來伸懶腰，你們可以越過。”“我們必須看到。”一方面，豌豆和木炭不能幫助擔心。
稻草鋪在小溪上。“快點!你必須快速穿越。如果你呆在一個地方太久，我會著火的.“木炭很快就越過了稻草。
但是，當炭橫過時，他往下看。“我害怕!哦，我該怎麼辦Α“木炭不再動彈。“快點和十字架!Straw盡其所能說
然而就在那一刻，從炭火上冒出的稻草。“哦不!稻草打破了兩條，掉進了小溪里。“啊!同時，木炭落入水中。
豌豆，誰看這一幕，忍不住笑。哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈大笑。“哦不，我要死了”
幸運的是，就在這時，一個裁縫正在過橋。“我在這兒休息一會兒。”“幫幫我。”裁縫聽到一個微弱的聲音，發現了裂開的豌豆。
交感神經的裁縫師縫制的豌豆一起回來，“你是幸運的，我是一個裁縫。”“我真的很幸運。”裁縫完成縫紉的豌豆，豌豆感激地說。
豌豆感謝裁縫。“非常謝謝你”，“但是，因為線是黑色的，會有一個記號。”就像裁縫說的那樣，從那以後，豌豆中間有一個黑色的記號。

破舊的小蒲公英的美麗（The Beauty of a Shabby Little Dandelion）
Spring has come for the flowers and trees, in the forest and fields. Spring has also come on the wild flowers under the fence and on a small apple tree. There were red bursting flower buds hanging on the fresh apple tree branches.
The apple Tree Branches were proud of themselves knowing that they were very beautiful. A Countess admired the branches, so she broke one of them off, held it in her hand, and she went back to her splendid castle in her wonderful carriage. The Countess put the branch among the fresh and green beech trees, and she smiled with satisfaction.
The apple Tree Branch held up his head and looked at many kinds of people who came in and out. They all showed different reactions to the Apple Tree Branch. All the people reacted differently when they saw the Apple Tree branch. Some were expressionless without a word, some overpraised the beauty of the Apple Tree Branch, and others gazed at him with a satisfied look.
Seeing these various reactions from people, the Apple Tree Branch realized that people have as diverse personalities as plants and flowers do and that they are all different. The Apple Tree branch looked at the fields and a garden through the open window. There were shabby flowers and plants as well as beautiful ones in the garden.
'Those grasses are so pathetic. It's not their fault they have such ugly and squalid names. However, everything is different in this world.' The apple Tree Branch sympathized and looked at the little flowers blooming next to the fields and streams.
At that time, the Sun kissed the Apple Tree Branch, a dandelion in the field, the abundant beautiful flowers, and the shabby flowers and said, "Yes, there is difference among everything, but throw away your prejudice and look ahead with a broad point of view. What do you think the poorest plant is?" "A Dandelion. People do not use it even for a bouquet, and it is so common that people trample it down carelessly. It is not different from a weed at all."
At that time, children ran across the field, rolled about on the lawn, and picked and kissed the dandelions. They made necklaces and garlands of them. They looked wonderful with the golden flowers and green stems.
The seeds stuck to the stalks of the dandelions, and they were as beautiful as white feathers. When the children blew out with a puff, the seeds of the dandelions fluttered away as if they had wings.
"Look at that! Now, do you understand how beautiful those flowers are, and how much pleasure they can give us?" The Sun said to the Apple Tree Branch. "They are only for children." The Apple Tree Branch answered.
At that time, an old lady g in the ground of the field and picked the roots of the dandelions. She will make tea, take it to the doctor who makes medicine, and earn money with the roots of the dandelions.
"But, beauty is more valuable than those things. Only elected ones can join the Kingdom of Beauty. Not every plant can be the same, just as people can't be the same." The Apple Tree Branch said.
Later some people came into the room. The Countess who brought the Apple Tree Branch to the castle was one of them. She brought a stalk of dandelion seeds much more carefully than when she brought the Apple Tree Branch.
"Look at this. Isn't this beautiful? I will draw a picture of this dandelion with the apple tree branch. Everyone says that the apple tree branch is more beautiful, but this humble dandelion has a different kind of beauty. Even though the apple tree branch and the dandelion look different from each other, they are all beautiful." The Countess said filled with admiration.
The Sun smiled and kissed the shabby dandelion and the Apple Tree Branch. The Apple Tree Branch blushed his own petals with shame.

幸福的一對（The Happy Couple）
A long time ago, there was a happy prince and princess in a country. They took care of and loved each other very much, and their country was happy, too. Therefore they didn't envy anything else. There was one thing they worried about. They wanted to make sure they could live happily forever like this.
One day, one of the subjects found out the couple's worry and told them, "Prince, I heard that there is a magic charm, and it can protect you from any unfortunate event. If you always carry the magic charm with you, your fear and worry will disappear."
"Is it true? Where can I find that charm?" The prince asked him joyfully. "There is an old man in the forest, and he knows about everything. You can ask him."
The couple visited the old man, and asked for help with their worries and fears. The old man nodded his head as if he knew everything and said, "Travel all around the world. Then, when you meet a very happy couple, ask them to cut a piece of their underwear. If you keep the piece of the underwear, your fear and worry will go away."
The couple appreciated the old man's kindness and set out on the journey. The couple wandered around everywhere and heard about a happy knight and his wife of one town. They went to visit the knight. "Are you really happy like the rumor?" Then the knight answered. "Of course, we are, Prince. But our only worry and problem is that we didn't have any children."
They had to find an absolutely happy couple, so they continued their journey. They visited a happy couple who were famous for their happiness in the next town. And they asked the couple if they were really happy. The couple answered. "Yes, we are very happy. But we have too many children. A mother with a large brood never has a peaceful day. We worry too much about our children."
They could not get a magic charm this time too, and kept going on their trip. It was very hard to find the happiest couple in the world. One day, the prince couple met a shepherd and his wife in a big field.
The shepherd was playing a flute and driving a herd of sheep, and his wife took their two children to him. As soon as the shepherd saw his family, he ran to them directly. He kissed and embraced each of them by turns. They sat in a circle and had lunch after the wife had prepared it.
The prince couple watched for a while and approached them. "Excuse me. You look so happy!" The shepherd smiled and said, "Sure, any king or queen can never be happier than we are."
The prince couple thought that they finally found what they were looking for. "I am sorry, but could you please cut a piece of your underwear for us?" The prince couple asked them very politely, but the shepherd couple felt confused and said, "Of course we would like to help you, but we don't wear any underwear."
In the end, the couple set out on their journey again with nothing. Finally they came back to their home because they were so tired, and because they couldn't find the magic charm too. As soon as they came back to their country, they visited the old man.
The prince told their story to the old man and asked him. "Why did you make us suffer from the long trip for a charm which doesn't even exist?" The old man smiled and said, "Well, do you really think your trip was a vain effort? Think about it carefully. While you were traveling around, you learned many things about how other people live, didn't you?"
The prince thought to himself for a while and said, "Ah, now I understand. You mean that true happiness is up to yourself." The prince's wife smiled and nodded her head. The happy couple held their hands and looked in each other's eyes.
The old man said as he watched them. "The true magic charm that you are searching for is in your mind. Keep it carefully from now on. Then, you'll never be unhappy with whatever comes your way."

The girl went into the chicken house, again, the next day. There was a racket again, as the chickens were frightened. The moon in the night sky was worried. This time, the little girl's father will not be forgiving.
Finally, the sleeping father woke up. "Why are the chickens crying? By chance" The father was angry and came out to the yard.
"What's wrong with you? Is it okay to bother animals that can't talk? You need to be punished." When the little girl saw her father's angry face, she began to cry.
"It is true that I bothered the chickens, but I was bored yesterday. But today I went in to apologize to the chickens. I was going to hug the chickens."
When the father heard what his daughter said, a smile quickly appeared on his face. "You are truly my daughter." The father praised his daughter. He was proud of his daughter that knew how to apologize. The moon in the sky gave a big laugh, too.
⑥ 如何有效開展小學英語課外閱讀指導
如何有效開展小學英語課外閱讀指導
《英語課程標准》對小學英語教學的閱讀目的提出了明確的要求。閱讀在聽、說、讀、寫四項技能中佔有很重要的地位。培養學生進行廣泛的閱讀，不但能為學生提供更多的語言輸入，還能通過閱讀學到更多的課外知識，獲取大量信息，從中獲得成就感，增強學習英語的自信心。
在日常的教學中，我們總以為：閱讀課就是看文章做題目。學生看懂了，題目做對了就達到了我們閱讀教學的目的。這其實是對小學英語閱讀教學的一種誤解。正如Dr May Lee所說的：It』s not reading. It』s testing. 我們不是在教閱讀而是在測試學生。在小學階段，我們的任務是要激發學生的閱讀興趣，教給閱讀的方法，使學生形成一定的閱讀策略，而做題目顯然不能達到這些目的。從以前的課例我們可以發現個別老師過分注重了測試，忽略了閱讀的過程，尤其是把它上成了中學的閱讀課，一開始就讓學生默讀、對答案，對大聲朗讀避之不及。這不但違反了小學生的年齡和認知特點，也是對小學閱讀教學的誤解。首先，閱讀課教什麼？以前為了怕學生不明白，閱讀課上把所有生詞逐個教會，每個句子解釋清楚，結果把閱讀課上成了精讀課。專家認為，閱讀課不但要教閱讀，而且要教語音、教語言。從字里行間發掘可以教的任何東西，比如發音、語法、文化等，更重要的是要讓學生從文章中發現：為什麼？我們希望學生們從中學到什麼？所以確定教學目標是閱讀教學的首要任務。然後根據學生的年齡、認知水平選擇合適的語言點及閱讀策略。
其次，閱讀課的幾個環節該如何處理？我們都知道閱讀的三個環節：Pre-reading、while-reading、post-reading，但具體做起來往往變成了讀課文---判斷；再讀---填空；再讀---回答問題。而且多數是讓學生自己默讀，學生沒有或只有很少的機會大聲朗讀。對小學英語課堂來說，聽、說、讀、寫缺一不可，象中學生一樣默讀是不可能完成語言的輸入過程的。同樣，因為害怕學生不懂而不斷地說，學生一直被動地聽，沒有自主學習、自主探究的機會，這也是很多老師存在的問題。通過聽課及專家們的點評，我們知道，朗讀在小學階段的學習非常重要，通過大聲朗讀，小學生可以更快接受所學語言並轉化成自己的知識。在閱讀過程中給予學生適當的引導，可以發掘他們潛在的能力，通過閱讀課發揮無窮的想像力。所以，在各個環節設置不同難度、不同層次的問題可以幫助學生擴展思維、提高閱讀質量。
再次，如何在小學階段開展課外閱讀？由於小學生的年齡及認知特點：遺忘快，靈活運用語言的能力差，在缺少說英語環境下將外語學好，必須依靠除課堂、教材外的大量語言信息的輸入。所以，我認為我們首先要營造良好的閱讀氛圍，通過具體的活動如統一的課外閱讀時間，讓全校開展英語課外閱讀，並在英語活動月期間進行評比，形成愛讀書、讀英語的熱潮。其次要加強課外閱讀的指導，促進英語教學的有效性。小學生的詞彙量小、社會經驗不足，因此閱讀指導要從詞彙積累開始，指導學生將學到的單詞用摘抄的辦法積累起來，還要選擇適當的閱讀材料，難度要相當，有趣味性，使學生有興趣、有信心繼續進行閱讀。還可以開展合作學習，把成績好的同學和中下生編在一個讀書小組，大家分工合作查閱生詞等，提高閱讀速度和效率。
英語閱讀課的開展對於小學生的能力特別是讀寫能力的培養有很大的幫助，如何進行有效的閱讀也是老師們不斷努力的方向。我們在實際的課堂中還要不斷實踐、不斷總結，力求把語言教學與能力培養更緊密聯系起來，不斷提高教學效果，提升教學質量。
