【名师点评】

在“阅读+课程”研究框架下，我校英语组积极响应“让读书成为我们的第四餐”的龙川阅读口号，积极践行英语阅读行动计划，倡导学生每周阅读英语课外书籍不少于1小时，3～6年级每周2节英语晨读课，每周1节英语导读课。以英语导读课研究为课程开发的主阵地，探索学生课外自主阅读与教师课内导读相结合的阅读策略，有效进行阅读方法、技巧的指导，努力达成学生爱阅读、会阅读的良好局面。对于各个年级段的指导，我们的侧重点是不一样的：中年级我们注重学生兴趣的激发，强化诵读与体悟，高年级我们侧重学生的感悟与表达。在不同的阅读中为孩子的每一天注入新鲜的活力。吉老师执教的内容是我校英语阅读工程选用的三年级阅读绘本Floppy and the bone。

这个故事讲述了Floppy和他的朋友们外出散步，Floppy 在路途中看见骨头，抢到骨头，叼着骨头一路从小山、丛林奔跑到小桥上。然后他发现水里也有一只叼着骨头的狗，他也想要那只骨头，于是他跳进了水里，最后他却什么也没有得到。这是一篇很好的阅读材料，这个故事告诉我们人不能贪得无厌的道理。

吉老师从pre reading，while-reading 到post-reading设计了这节课，读前设计一个30秒的Floppy自述，在这个自述前和学生进行有关Floppy 信息的Free talk，帮助学生有效自述。读中，吉老师设置层层推进的阅读任务，让学生读懂绘本故事。通过predict，scan，observe，listen，read，look，circle，guess等活动设置不同难度、不同层次的问题，帮助学生扩展阅读思维，提高阅读技巧，提高阅读质量，提高阅读速度和效率，有效提高阅读能力。读后，设计了read and have a jigsaw puzzle，通过学生读自己的片段，再组内分享自己的片段，最后小组合作拼图，而这个拼图呈现的正是阅读文本中的“大骨头”，这个教学环节设计是一个亮点，创新，新颖，能激发学生的阅读兴趣，提高学生阅读的积极性，增强学生的小组合作意识。
