Olivia is a British-American children's animated television series based on Ian Falconer's books. It is seen on Nick Jr. in the US, Milkshake!, Nick Jr. in the UK and Ireland, and Playhouse Disney Channel in Latin America and Brazil, Treehouse TV in Canada. Nickelodeon has renewed Olivia for a second season which premiered on November 21, 2010.
Olivia is today's girl. She is a 6 and 3/4 years old dynamo who believes she can do anything and sees every day as an opportunity to try new things. Her vivid imagination takes her on a grand adventures, both real and fantasy, and like all children, her antics occasionally result in endearing misadventures.
Taking place in a world where ALL people are pigs, Olivia revolves around the title character and her family. The plots are mostly everyday situations in which Olivia finds herself and her unique way of dealing with them. In almost every episode Olivia also dispenses her "Rules of Life". Examples of those are "Rule of Life #3: If you have to sit next to a little brother eating spaghetti, you better wear a raincoat" and "Rule of Life #52: If your mom is having a baby and she asks you whether you want a brother or a sister, that does not mean you're really going to get the kind you ask for."

Jackanory Junior | BBC CBeebies

Jackanory is a long-running BBC children's television series that was designed to stimulate an interest in
reading. The show was first aired on 13 December 1965, the first story being the fairy-tale Cap o' Rushes read by
Lee Montague. Jackanory continued to be broadcast until 24 March 1996, clocking up around 3,500 episodes in its 30
year run. The show returned on 27 November 2006, with a new series beginning in 2007 on CBBC.
The show's format, which varied little over the decades, involved an actor reading from children's novels or folk
tales, usually while seated in an armchair. From time to time the scene being read would be illustrated by a
specially-commissioned still drawing, often by Quentin Blake. Usually a single book would occupy five daily
fifteen-minute episodes, from Monday to Friday.
A few Jackanory stories took the form of a play rather than stories being read, in a series of thirty minute
fully-cast and costumed dramas entitled Jackanory Playhouse. These included a dramatisation by Philip Glassborow
of the comical A. A. Milne story, "The Princess Who Couldn't Laugh."
A version of Jackanory for younger children—called Jackanory Junior—is shown on CBeebies
Jackanory has been reinvented for the 21st Century. All the elements of the Jackanory of old are still there. Our
storytellers are well known and well loved British TV and Film actors, including Lenny Henry, Martin Clunes,
Sophie Okonedo (Oscar nominated for Hotel Rwanda), Holly Aird (Waking the Dead, Soldier Soldier), Shobna Gulati
(Coronation Street, Dinner Ladies), Art Malik and Chris Marshall (My Family).
The show still presents the story told to camera but the new series brings the book illustrations to life using
animation and 'green screen' to place the story teller on the page, interacting with the story landscape. Elements
of the books illustrations also appear as animations in the studio, ranging from lazy cats lounging on walls and
butterflies flitting around a jungle clearing, to a plague of elves in an ordinary kitchen

這套書畫風非常精緻有趣,是喜歡 I spy 的孩子不可錯過的好書。

Jacky 很喜歡,時常叫我講給他聽,
目前我們只唸完了 Zoo 這本,先介紹這本:
這本書將一天分成8個時段,分別把這8個時段在動物園的變化用跨頁的圖畫表現出來,

相同的場景、不同的活動,甚至是一些細微的變化都沒遺漏,

每頁左邊是找找看,右邊是時鐘,中間還有內容說明, 講述圖中內容,發生了啥事,
除了左邊的小圖可以玩找找看外,內文提到的東西也可以玩,
我們光這本就看了好幾天才完成,因為Jacky總要找好久,
每本書後還有Glossary、A Closer Look、Index,對於英文字彙的學習很有幫助。

 

講英文故事給 Jacky 聽時,我都是一英一中,中間穿插問題,

從Jacky的回答知道他了解的程度,再慢慢拿掉懂得的中文,run幾次後,最後就改成全英文了。

這是學汪XX的,只是我是提問,他們是討論,

我覺得這方式對Jacky的英文學習非常有用。

Media Study Player (復讀機)

這軟體真是太棒了,拿來學習英文真是得心應手啊!
我拿 How to Train Your Dragon 的音頻和字幕來播放給孩子跟讀,效果奇佳呢!
他可以調整語速,還可以設定復讀次數和方式,
可以調字幕大小,可以錄音....
字幕軸不同步時還可以即時修正,功能真是強大啊!
最不可思議的是他居然還是綠色軟件ㄟ,太感動了!
唯一的缺點是語速調太慢時會有回音,希望將來能改進。
這裡下載~

比較麻煩的是字幕和語音時常會有些微的不同步,
但只要稍有差異,可能掉了個音..就會影響跟讀,因此必須再調校,
但調校又不能在孩子跟讀時,
因為孩子的專注力通常不會超過一小時,大概半小時就開始衰減了,
因此我的調校工作都是跟著孩子的進度,先他們一步即可,
等我調校完成時,大概也是孩子念完的時候了。

這裡有使用教學~

My First Incredible Amazing Dicitionary | DK

 

找了好久的兒童字典都不滿意,最後讓我滿意的竟然是這電腦軟體字典,

這軟體早就拿到了,卻因為是電腦軟體,只能擱在一邊,始終沒讓孩子碰過,

感謝大陸網友擷取出圖片和音頻分享,我把圖片轉成pdf檔,再搭配MP3音頻就成一本有聲字典書了,

這本字典總共有1056個單字,所有的解釋都盡量使用這1056個單字,

因此非常淺顯易懂,沒啥學習負擔,很適合給孩子念讀,

而且每個單字都有例句,最棒的是還有配套的音頻,哈! 太喜歡了!

只可惜CD-ROM 在我的win7系統下不能使用,聽說裡面的遊戲很好玩呢!傷心

PS: 這字典真神! 還有法語、德語、芬蘭語版本ㄟ
