ben and bella?

hmm... ni response pada comment dr syikin mintak aku buat entry on Ben and Bella. pemende tu? hehe...

"Discover English with Ben and Bella", set cd yg kubeli hmmm 2 thn lepas kot. beli kat book fair klau tak silap. set ni ada beberapa siri dvd, buku kerja, audio cd, block puzzle and creativity book. jumlah total ku tak sure pulak. nnti balik ku check ye...

masa abg long baru2 nk belajar bercakap dulu... as a first time parents.. kitorang mmg excited n confuse jugak dlm nk menyediakan bahan2 bantuan. yela.. skrg klau keluar2 dr giant or tesco je.. mesti ada booth grolier la.. mcm2. aku pon taktau yg mane bagus, tapi surely smua bagus. cuma rege yg tak bagus. mcm gaji umi dia sebulan weh..

nk bandingkan antara grolier ngan ben n bella tu.. ku rasa tak adil sbb ku tak pernah beli grolier lg. maybe akan datang mungkin ku grab jugak kot. as for Ben n Bella series.. so far its good for a very beginner. mcm anakku dulu mmg taktau sepatah haram english. so bagusnye ben n bella ni... dia mengajar melalui dvd tu... so ku tak perlu nk monitor dia. compared to mane2 style yg pkai computer cd... kene monitor.. click itu ini. itu sesuai klau anak2 dah computer wise.

cara ku... bangun pagi2.. sementara nk tunggu uminye siap mandi apa smua.. ku bukak ben n bella ni.. abg long pon dudukla breakfast depan tv bertemankan ben n bella. cerita siri2 dia berkisar tentang apa2 di certain location. contoh siri 1... at the zoo. so ada la cerita pasal ben n bella pegi zoo... n jumpa a few animals. so kt situ dia dah leh catch up nama2 animals. sebutan2 dia mmg jelas n mudah difahami. so mula2 dulu.. mmg itula siri yg kuajar smpai dia tau apa itu monkey, gorilla, hippo.. mcm2la.

then baru proceed next cd... picnic pulak ke. ajar words baru pulak. n simple sentence mcm "i'm hungry" kata ben sambil usap2 perut dia. so bagi budak2 yg bukan english medium... maybe dia blurr apa si ben ckp. tp bila dia tgk ben usap2 perut... so bole tangkap... itu maksudnye dia lapar.

siri ni pada aku sesuai utk budak2 yg takde english basic. klau yg mak pak speak english kt umah.. takyahla. baik beli grolier apa smua tu. n set ni sesuai utk awal2 usia. yg belum boleh membaca. means belajar melalui mata n telinga aje la. nyanyi2... sambil ikut tarian dia.

dlm setiap siri... ada 3 or 4 dvd. tak sure. n dia ada a few siri. tak ingatla. at the zoo, going places, shopping, circus, mcm2la. ada at the airport, railway station, bus... simple2 mcm tu. pastu... habis 1 cd tu.. nnti ada karaoke lagu pasal cerita yg baru tgk tu... n some revision. klau bila dah nyanyi2 tu... barula si adiknye minat nk tgk. klau time ben n bella tgh jalan2.. adiknye pon jalan2 sama.. tak tgk pon. abg long aje focus tgk. hehe... (klau utk adik... dia prefer baby einstein. hehe)

n satu lg yg ku suka is... cd ni takde masukkan budak2 besar or remaja. sbb kadang ku tgk sesame street ada masuk budak2 remaja. aku tak suka camtu. yg ben n bella ni mmg nyanyi2 tu smua budak2 kindergarden je. so tarian n nyanyiannye semua sesuai dgn usia mereka.

k... ni ku letak gambar2 yg sempat ku snap pagi td...





ni la set2 nye... ada
going places (on the bus, at the train station, at the airport),
A Special Day (the picnic, at the beach, a night outdoors),
Lets go shopping (in the food store, in the toy shop, ezra's magical sweetshop),
at the circus (ben the clown, tito the tightrope walker, the magician),
on the farm (the lost egg, the apple tree, the dancing cow),
at the zoo (rory the lion, charley the baby monkey, in the ice house)


ni lak contoh isi dalam bukunye. cerita sama mcm dlm cd.. cuma ni diolah untuk bacaan.
