Features: Research in language learning has shown that music can help people achieve faster and easier results in language acquisition. Nursery rhymes have clear rhythms, short sentence structures, not only pleasant to the ear but also highly rhythmic. Their lyrics are rich in charm, simple and easy to learn, making them easily approachable. Children often unconsciously become familiar with them through repeated listening, greatly benefiting the development of correct language skills, stimulating learning interest, and providing an initial understanding of Anglo-American culture. They are particularly suitable for preschool children and lower primary school students who are just beginning to learn English. To enable children to learn in a joyful and lively musical environment, Boya Studio has specially invited Mr. Tom from Cambridge, UK, to collect many famous nursery rhymes, accompanied by illustrations matching the lyrics' context, simple vocabulary, and CDs with singing by foreign children, allowing children to learn English nursery rhymes through pictures and music. More importantly, this book is entirely designed for children in countries where English is not the native language. All the nursery rhymes included here are excellent choices for language learning. The notable features of this English nursery rhyme collection:
1. The English lyrics are designed to be grammatically clear, sentence structures simple, and use moderate repetition to enhance memory, accompanied by bilingual (Chinese-English) lyrics explanations.
2. The lyrics' contexts are themes familiar or interesting to children.
3. The Chinese lyrics are simple and clear, avoiding difficult characters and easy to read.
4. The exquisite illustrations in the book serve to assist reading, helping young readers understand the rhyme's context and use the lyrics for associative memory.
5. The included CD features singing by specially invited foreign children, with clear pronunciation and beautiful melodies, making it an audio English learning resource for beginners.
