朱版，请教一下，一般普通孩子在多大可以掌握一定的词汇量自己读书？（适合她年龄的书）
女儿6岁了，开学上小一，总要缠着我给他读故事书。:o
只是想有个概念，我还需要给他读多少年？
是不是上学后能掌握词汇快点？ ...

我觉得从Year 1开始大部分的孩子就可以自主阅读其自己年龄段的书，而不需要大人读了。
不过看了过去一个帖子关于小学Kindy的一个的讨论（里面有大量的Kindy孩子的阅读方面的交流），现在好像华人小孩在Kindy阶段home reading的level就已经很高，能够自主阅读的大把大把。。。希望你没有焦虑

不焦，不焦，反正都是你们悉尼墨尔本的。 看着看着，更坚定了让女儿在我身边念大学的想法。女孩子嘛，那么竞争干啥？怪心疼的。
嗯，如果她能year 1 就能自主阅读，我就能轻松多了，还有个小的呢。不过孩子都不一样。心理大约有个数，再走走看吧。

以后女儿读大学，就读读UQ好了（过去我经常去逛校园的，呵呵，），在Toowong买个房子先屯着。:)

再介绍一本出版于1999年的儿童读物【Chinese Cinderella】，我女儿两年前读过后，给我讲过很多次她非常非常的喜欢这本书。
在图书馆和书店里一直属于小读者们热门的作品。

这是旅美的华裔作家严君玲（Adeline Yen Mah）的作 ...

我承认，这本是我看的不多的英文小说之一。。

=========
中学生读物
=========

也汇总下，Google内容如下：

Ursula Kroeber Le Guin是美国的女作家，她的Earthsea Cycle系列小说本是为西方魔幻文学经典之一，与《魔戒三部曲》和《纳尼亚传奇》系列齐名。

作品意涵有别于西方基督教精神，而富有中国老子道家思想；并非强调善恶对立的二元价值观，而是传达「平衡」、阴阳同源的理念。本系列乃藉由奇幻冒险背景探讨青少年成长的心理历程，以丰富的隐喻象征手法深刻描绘青少年在发展过程中面对的种种困惑与危机。粗略而言，地海三部曲的主题都环绕在黑暗与光明、生与死、主动与被动等对立的概念上。

系列小说分别是
【A Wizard of Earthsea】 1968 (Lewis Carroll Shelf Award winner, 1979)
【The Tombs of Atuan】 1971 (Newbery Medal winner)
【The Farthest Shore】 1973 (National Book Award winner)
【Tehanu: The Last Book of Earthsea】 1990 (Nebula Award winner, 1990; Locus Fantasy Award winner, 1991
【Tales from Earthsea】 2001 (Short Stories)
【The Other Wind】 2001 (World Fantasy Award winner, 2002[21])
  
Recommended for ages 12+

这个系列小说故事非常复杂，但是非常有名，我的一个洋人朋友就给我推荐过，他说其儿童文学上的成就就要超过Harry Potter和魔戒三部曲，但是孩子大些再读会比较合适。

过去有不少人想把这部作品搬上银幕，却都遭到了原作者的拒绝，30年前的宫崎骏也是其中之一。
宫崎骏相当喜欢这部作品，在他的《风之谷》等片中都可以找到《Earthsea》的元素。后来宫崎骏的《千与千寻》轰动了世界，赢得了奥斯卡长篇动画奖。不久后，宫崎骏意外地得到了来自原作者的委托 —原作者看来，宫崎骏是将自己的这部代表作动画电影化的最佳人选。

2006年，【Tales from Earthsea】动画片问世，是宫崎骏的儿子宫崎吾朗导演的。但是网上很多看过原著的人都对于这个动画片不满意，认为和原著相去甚远。。。
不过音乐很棒。。。大家可以去找来看看。。。

Le Guin 文笔极好。看过一个书评说，Le Guin 在‘write’，而哈利波特系列相比就是‘type’出来的。我看地海系列的时候经常感叹这样好的文字，就算写菜谱也能让人读得津津有味吧。

动画片看过下简介，觉得完全不是书里展现的地海，所以就懒得看了。

Le Guin还写了不少给young adults读的少年文学读物，都很好看。比如近年出版的 Gifts, Voices, Powers.   她也写了很多科幻经典，比如The left hand of darkness, Dispossessed。当然这些就不是儿童读物了。

有孩子追JAMES PATTERSON 的小说吗？不知道算不算经典。我本人没读过，先不发言。但小D 最近狂迷他的系列小说。

我们家老大也追看J P。
但J P的书大多都是给成年人写的，只有两套是为青春期写的。

再推荐一套

The Floods are a family of Wizards and Witches by Colin Thompson.

The parents, Nerlin and Mordonna, have seven children, some of whom were not created in the traditional way like you, but were made in the cellar underneath their house, using incredible mystical powers, a set of very shiny 'Jamie Oliver' saucepans and a small chemistry set.
The Floods is a series of brilliant, rude, scary novels with black and white illustrations.

【The Other Wind】 2001 (World Fantasy Award winner, 2002[21])

The three books i've read so far are fantastic, they are a delicious read, each with descriptive detail and intriguing words that make up the storyline. The novelists words are descriptive, explaining everything with little words. She has an excellent imagination, thinking of the most greatest storylines. These books are beyond the words of praise that people will give. So far i have enjoyed every one of them, full of wizards, wtichs, ancient tombs, dark powers, dragons, songs of the old and Earthsea itself. I would recommend this book to every age, (unless you're just born and u barely know how to crawl or speak yet).

【The Hunger Games】 is a young-adult science fiction novel written by Suzanne Collins. It was originally published on September 14, 2008 by Scholastic. It is the first book of 【the Hunger Games tril ...

The Hunger Games are an excellent trilogy that i think everybody will enjoy reading.  It includes everything a book needs, the plot, the characters, the decriptions...etc. Even though the violence can be a bit extreme at times, you can picture images in your mind and feel Katniss's pain or fear. The way Suzanne Collins wrote this book is very clever. She makes sure that every chapter has a perculiar, and unexpected twist to it. Every page, Katniss remains brave, which makes you really look up to her.

The plot is extremely interesting and so are the characters. Thinking of having children fight to death is a little bit odd and vicious, but you will immediately forget about that, once you read. As Katniss goes on in the Hunger Games, you will read about romance, pain, fear, hatred, and loneliness. Once these feelings are read, you experience the same, feeling everything Katniss feels. After reading the first book, i felt scared for Katniss as if she was someone real.

I would recommend this book to ALL AGES. (maybe not 5 year olds) but you get the idea. Anyone who would understand this book, MUST read it. I rate it 9.9999999999/10 due to the violence.
