自然拼读
你敢来挑战吗
初夏的托马斯小学部校园，草木欣然，花儿绽放，阳光透过树叶缝隙洒满大地，处处流动着生机勃勃的气息。同样满溢着蓬勃朝气的是一群托马斯小学童。
On the campus of Thomas Primary School in early summer, the grass and trees are cheerful and the flowers are blooming. The sun shines through the leaves of the tree, and there was full of vigor everywhere and so was our Thomas students.
他们有的化身蜘蛛侠、奥特曼、绿巨人、孙悟空、哈利波特，有的装扮成皮卡丘、柯南、忍者神龟、超级玛丽、爱丽丝公主......
Some of them dressed up as Spider-Man, Ultraman, Hulk, Monkey King, Harry Potter, and some dressed up as Pikachu, Conan, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Super Mary, Princess Alice...
找彩蛋
虽然“来自”不同国度，不同时代，却无一例外地在操场上找寻着什么。上前一探究竟，原来大家都在奔走着找彩蛋呢！
Although from different countries, different times, but without exception in the playground to find something. Come forward to find out, originally everyone is running to find the eggs!
猜猜让他们上头的彩蛋是什么？好吃的零食？好玩的玩具？好看的书籍？不不不，都不是......;答案一定让你大跌眼镜：自然拼读测评题！
Guess what eggs was that fascinated them? Yummy snacks? Fun toys? Good books? No, no, no, neither... The answer may surprise you: the phonics test.
什么？测评还用盛装打扮？测评还用如此大费周章？？测评还能让孩子们如此趋之若鹜？？？
What? Do you dress up for the test? Assessment with so much trouble?? Assessment can also make children so flocking???
那可不，要不怎么配得上我们托马斯“玩中学”的名号呢！你瞧，在这场“Thomas Phonics Egg Hunt Adventure（上海托马斯实验学校自然拼读彩蛋大冒险）”中，每位探险小勇士都手握三枚彩蛋，自信地走到老师身旁，展开自然拼读闯关之旅。“A red bug is in the cup”“I wish a fish in my dish”“I see a cat sit on a mat”……小勇士们大声地朗读着。
Yes! How else can we live up to Thomas's name of "learning while playing"? You see, in the "Thomas Phonics Egg Hunt Adventure", each young adventuer confidently walks up to his teacher with three colored eggs in his hand and starts his journey through the Phonics. "A red bug is in the cup," "I wish A fish in my dish," "I see A cat sit on A mat," the little warriors read aloud.
即便有些单词不认识，发音不确定，但在老师的鼓励下，也都勇敢地念了出来。正如墙上的标语所说的那样：It’s okay to not know, but it’s not okay to not try. (不懂没关系，但你得去尝试) ，老师们耐心地引导着，孩子们努力地尝试着。 Even if some words do not know, pronunciation is not sure, but under the teacher's encouragement, they also bravely read out. Just as the sign on the wall said: It's okay to not know, but It's not okay to not try. The teachers patiently led and the children tried hard.
在完成单词、句子、段落的朗读挑战后，老师们除了送上“fantastic”“marvelous”的口头赞扬外，也会贴心地为小勇士们送上巧克力金蛋作为鼓励。而对于孩子们还欠缺的地方，老师们也都一一记录，在后续教学中，对其进行有针对性的指导和练习。
After completing the challenge of reading words, sentences and paragraphs aloud, the teachers will not only give verbal praise to the young champions, but also give them chocolate golden eggs as encouragement. As for the children's deficiencies, the teachers also recorded them one by one and gave them targeted guidance and exercises in the subsequent teaching.
自然拼读(Phonics)是以英语为母语国家的孩子学习英语读音与拼字，增进阅读能力与理解力的教学法。通过直接学习26个字母及字母组合在单词中的发音规则，建立字母及字母组合与发音的感知，从而让学生达到“看字能读、听音能写”的效果。
Phonics is a teaching method for children in English-speaking countries to learn the pronunciation and spelling of English and to improve their reading ability and comprehension. By directly learning the pronunciation rules of 26 letters and letter combinations in words, the students can establish the perception of letters and letter combinations and pronunciation, so that the students can achieve the effect of "being able to read by seeing characters and be able to write by listening to sounds"
在托马斯，我们认为自然拼读的学习应该是充满趣味的。因为我们坚信，只有激发起孩子的学习兴趣，孩子才能善于学习，爱上学习。因此，在平日的英语课堂里，你会发现老师在讲解完基本知识点后，会带领孩子唱起儿歌，在朗朗上口的旋律中帮助孩子准确发音；也会利用一些多媒体小游戏，让孩子在找出相同读音的“连连看”游戏中，进一步巩固所学。
At Thomas, we believe that phonics should be fun to learn. Because we firmly believe that only by stimulating children's interest in learning, children can be good at learning and fall in love with learning. Therefore, in everyday English classes, you will find that after the teacher explains the basic knowledge points, he will lead the children to sing chants to help the children pronounce correctly in the catchy melody. Teachers will also use some multimedia games, let the children in the game to further consolidate what they have learned.
为了更好地帮助同学们掌握自然拼读法，小学部英语组的老师们可是花了不少心思。除了积极寻找各种优质资源，为孩子们提供自然拼读线上课程外，还特别做起了自然拼读课题研究，将自然拼读法贯穿课堂，通过将自然拼读与英语阅读相结合的方式，为学生创设英语语境，从而帮助学生提升阅读能力。而这样的尝试与研究也受到了普陀区小学英语教学界的广泛好评。
In order to better help students master phonics, the English teachers of the primary school have put a lot of effort into it. In addition to actively looking for various high-quality resources to provide phonics online courses for children, we have also started a phonics research project to integrate phonics in class and create an English context for students by combining phonics with English reading, so as to help students improve their reading ability. Such an attempt and research has also been widely praised by the Putuo District primary school English teaching circle.
谁说学习一定是枯燥的，在托马斯，这样寓教于乐的盛宴每天都在上演。因为我们希望每位孩子的学习都是快乐的，知识的汲取都是主动的。
Who says study must be boring! At Tomas, such an edutainment feast is a daily occurrence. Because we hope that every child's learning is happy, learning knowledge is active.
