我就喜歡這樣的妳

108課綱已經邁入第二年，新北第一線教學的老師對於繪本融入教學以及跨領域的繪本仍然需要許多支援，畢竟老師要設計教案，也要閱讀多樣的書籍等等。目前新北小一小二某些學校的做法事仍然使用教科書然後補充繪本。但我本人其實很想用繪本取代教科書，這樣也比較有趣。所以今天要介紹幾本有關於ABC 字母的繪本。

 國際文化

國際文化顧名思義就是要 TO KNOW THE WORLD ，ABC OF THE WORLD 裡面介紹了26個城市或是國家，每個頁面都有 該個國家的代表物，本人覺得非常適合低年級的小朋友認識國家。

  ABC Of The World

Join Little Lapin as she travels around the world visiting a selection of amazing countries. Exploring wondrous sights, cultures and popular landmarks from across the globe – from Australia to Zimbabwe! Collect Little Lapin’s passport sticker stamps as you work through the countries, and see what else you can spot along the way in these funpacked pages!

 低年級國際教育---字母 https://magic105.pixnet.net/blog/post/47482179

這是一個youtube 頻道 Local Passport Family ，Preethi 他是旅行及教育的教育家，並利用自己的孩子施行旅行的國際教育。

Preethi  邀請世界不同國家的作者，講述他們的繪本。 並使用該國的第一個名子做排序。例如: A IS FOR AUSTRALIA 就會有一個澳大利亞的作家，講述他的故事。這個頻道還在上傳中，所以目前大約只有19個字母以及繪本，剩下的老師可以自己發揮搜尋的能力，替換自己喜歡的作者或是書籍。

老實說在介紹繪本的時候，以往往往會 FOCUS 在單字句型等等，轉換成國際教育課程之後，我會順便介紹作者的背景國家等等。我喜歡這一系列的影片的原因，是每個人都在自己的國家拍影片，有些背景不管是室內室外都可以一窺當地人的平常生活，作家寫出來的繪本也很有當地的風情，本人覺得都還不錯，老師備課的時候，可以稍微看一下。

 New York the big apple from a to z 

這本書比較適合大人或是高年級的學生，要介紹美國一定要介紹紐約，學習文化的同時，透過字母單字可以一觀紐約的名勝古蹟等等，感覺一舉兩得。

Welcome to the Big Apple This city has something to offer everyone, from A to Z. Come visit the American Museum of Natural History and see prehistoric animals, get a bird's-eye view of the Brooklyn Bridge, and check out Central Park. Fascinating details about the many neighborhoods and historic places of New York City accompany Melmed's lively, informative verse, and Lessac's vibrant folk-art paintings capture the essence of this unique and rich place that was once called the melting pot of America.

  觀察字母類書籍 

低年級學生善於觀察勇於發表，以下是觀察類的字母書: 

    Alphabet City

作者善用巧思把字母隱藏在日常生活的物品中，適合一年級剛剛開始認字書寫的入門書籍。

The urban landscape will never look the same again. As Stephen T. Johnson demonstrates in a series of strikingly realistic pastels and watercolors, a simple sawhorse can contain the letter "A" -- while lampposts alongside a highway can form a row of elegant, soaring Ys. A 1996 Caldecott Honor book, this sophisticated, wordless alphabet book is sure to appeal to young and old alike.

  藝術領域字母書 

 I Spy: An Alphabet in Art

   A B See

這本書畫風分常精美，每頁都是一個大寫的字母，但是這些字母中隱藏著許多該字母的例字，下面會有一個簡短的句子，述說上面例字相互的故事等等。本人覺得不錯有趣。

 字母單字結合句子或是短文

二年級開學初，如果要複習字母，建議可以從上面的書籍開始，也可以用下面這4 本書: 

  alphabet ice cream

這本書色彩鮮豔非常吸睛，學生都滿喜歡 Nick & Sue ，閱讀完之後，可以讓學生嘗試看看做自己的字母小書，可以透過觀察繪者的筆法及用色，讓學生開始進入創作的世界。

   Ape in a Cape: An Alphabet of Odd Animals

這本書的文學性質比較高，對於學生來說，也比較抽象，建議給中高年級複習字母的時候，讓他們延伸創作參考用。

  Tomorrow’s Alphabet

這是我本人非常喜歡的一本書之一。作者非常有創意有巧思，每個頁面會介紹兩個單字，都是類似的句型，例如: b is for egg - tomorrow's bird. 利用物品前後呈現單字， 有點腦筋急轉彎的概念，但是同時又可以了解到物品的一生，非常棒。

A is for seed, B is for eggs, C is for milk -- what's going on here? The seed is tomorrows Apple, the eggs are tomorrows Birds, the milk is tomorrows Cheese Explore a wonderful world of possibility with an imaginative alphabet puzzle that encouraged young readers to look beyond the obvious.

  Once upon an Alphabet: Short Stories for All the Letters

作者為每一個字母都創造了一個簡單的故事，某些故事會有後呼應，感覺超級有趣的，高年級的學生，如果練習到故事創作或是短寫，可以考慮這本書唷

The most inventive and irresistible book of the year spans a mere 26 letters (don't they all ) and 112 pages. From an Astronaut who's afraid of heights, to a Bridge that ends up burned between friends, to a Cup stuck in a cupboard and longing for freedom, Once Upon an Alphabet is a creative tour de force from A through Z.

 Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

這本書滿適合教字母順序，雖然現在小孩對於字母順序滾瓜爛熟，但是如果能透過故事加強，本人覺得也是不錯的

A told B and B told C,　“I’ll meet you at the top of the coconut tree.”
When all the letters of the alphabet race one another up the coconut tree, will there be enough room?
Of course there is always enough room for this rollicking alphabet chant that has been a children’s favorite for more than twenty years! Bill Martin Jr and John Archambault’s rhythmic text keeps the beat with Caldecott Honor illustrator Lois Ehlert’s bold, cheerful art. This winning combination has created a series of enduring Chicka Chicka favorites, and now, for the first time ever, the complete edition of the original Chicka Chicka Boom Boom story is available as a Classic Board Book.

 議題融入 或是 跨領域的繪本 

 結合海洋議題繪本  into the a b sea

議題是最好融入英語的，因為沒有年級的區分，所以教案也比較好寫。這本書介紹很多海洋生物，有些字會雖然有點難，但是讓學生挑戰難度，感覺也是滿有趣的。更可以拓展學生對於海洋生物的理解。

Brilliant artwork captures an array of sea creatures from A to Z in this lively alphabet book which integrates language play, natural science, and beautiful illustrations.

   結合自然領域繪本 - 食農教育 Eating the Alphabet: Fruits and Vegetables from A to Z

這本書介紹五花八門的蔬菜水果的名稱，本人覺得滿實用的，畢竟出了國發現自己對於蔬果的英文真的超級不熟悉，去餐廳，如果不吃什麼蔬菜，還真的不知道怎麼跟餐廳溝通，如果學生從小就可以對於這些字會有印象，出國去超市買菜或是餐廳點餐真的通行無阻呀~。

While teaching upper- and lowercase letters to preschoolers, Ehlert introduces fruits and vegetables from around the world. A glossary at the end provides interesting facts about each food.

 字母與聲音連結的繪本 phonics 

一年級認識字母的名稱以及了解書寫方式。二年級開始就要了解字母與聲音的關聯，幫助學生發音。以下兩本繪本，都是大推薦的，文字都是精挑細選，閱讀起來也相當有趣味性唷。

 Dr. Seuss’s ABC

Arguably the most entertaining alphabet book ever written, this classic Beginner Book by Dr. Seuss is perfect for children learning their ABCs.
