「三歲幼童也可以看懂英語圖書。」

「Phonics讓孩子見詞能讀,聽音能寫。」

「Phonics讓孩子輕鬆閱讀,愛上閱讀,長遠提升英語能力。」

風行全球數十年的Phonics自然拼音法,方法簡單效果顯著,是引導孩子閱讀英語的第一步。Phonics自然拼音法跟普通話拼音bo po mo fo類近,將英文生字的字母、子音及母音聯繫,孩子掌握箇中技巧之後,看到任何英文字皆可以輕易從其字母排列讀出整個單字的發音,繼而明白單字以至文句的意思,令閱讀更有趣味。自小養成閱讀的優良嗜好,可為學習英語打好基礎,長遠提升英語水平。Phonics自然拼音法於全球廣被認受,多年來一致被多國語言學家、教育界人士及家長認可為幫助幼童閲讀英文的好工具,甚至被英國和澳洲納入教學大綱之中,成效可見一斑。全港知名殿堂級英語教育專家Miss Cecilia Chan集超過二十六年的教學經驗,於香港書展即場分享有關Phonics自然拼音法的理論、方法及成效,並由Miss Cecilia Chan的學生即場示範,重視兒童英語教育的父母不容錯過。

是次名為「Phonics – the First Step to English Reading」的講座將於本年7月20日(星期五)下午4:30至6:00於香港會議展覽中心S423-424會議室舉行。屆時,Miss Cecilia Chan將以生動活潑的演繹方法,解釋幼童如何可以透過聆聽、朗讀、書寫、練習及遊戲,按部就班地自學Phonics,並於短時間內學會閱讀英語。現場更加設兒童英語表演環節,把Phonics的神奇力量活現於觀眾眼前。

Miss Cecilia Chan表示:「研究指出,要說好一種語言,只須學懂最少1%的詞彙及約50%的文法,至於拼音,則須領會接近100%。有見及此,要學好英文──能讀能說能寫,Phonics是必修法門。」並指出:「Phonics可按部就班地教導孩子正確發音及認字,就算是年紀非常小的幼童,亦可輕易閱讀英語圖書,而讓小朋友自小養成閱讀的優良嗜好,更可為學習英語打好基礎,擴闊詞彙的運用,長遠提升英語水平。」

For immediate release 14th July, 2012

“Even three-year-olds can read story books all by themselves.”

“Children who have received training in phonics are more able to pronounce and spell English words with ease.”

“Learning phonics helps children enjoy reading and hence improves their ability to speak fluent English.”

For decades, phonics has been venerated by parents and recommended by linguistics and education professionals as a toddler’s first step to reading English. By learning the relationships between consonant and vowel sounds, children can pronounce and recognize difficult English words just by looking at their spelling and relating the sounds. Being able to read all the words in a book, children can easily develop a habit of reading and discover the vast delight in learning English. In the education systems of the United Kingdom and Australia, phonics is even the adopted method of teaching reading in English.

Miss Cecilia Chan, a celebrated expert in English Education with more than 26 years of experience in teaching, will host a seminar, “Phonics – the First Step to English Reading” on 20th July, 2012 (Friday) from 4:30pm to 6:00pm at Room S423-424 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, to share her insights and experience in phonics teaching. Together with her students, she will demonstrate how young children can learn phonics step by step through fun activities and enjoy reading all by themselves within a short period of time.

Miss Cecilia Chan says, “Statistics have shown that in order to speak any language, a person must know at least 1% of its vocabulary, 50% of its grammar but almost 100% of its phonics. In view of this, learners of English should give due respect to the study of its phonics in order to read and speak the language fluently and proficiently. The fundamental objective of phonics teaching is to develop a child's ability to pronounce and recognize English words, step by step. Proper phonics training is hugely important for young children. Not only does it avoid the risk of hampering a child's interest in story reading as a result of unsuccessful attempts in phonics, it also enables a child to acquire a large reading vocabulary in a comparatively short time which can then allow them to enjoy fluent story reading.”
