我的第一本經典英文100童詩（修訂版）

認識英文童詩的好處

相信許多人都聽過「熟讀唐詩三百首，不會作時也會偷」這句諺語，它的用意當然不是叫人將前人的作品套上自己的名字，然後就當是由自己創作的，而是鼓勵人多背誦唐詩，有助提高文字操控的能力，也就是語文能力。這句話不僅適用於唐詩，套用於英詩，結果也相差無幾。

詩，可以說是語言的精華所在。它是一種語言藝術，一種十分獨特的文學體裁。「它飽含着豐富的想像和情感，常常以直接抒情的方式來表現，語言精煉，音調和諧，有鮮明的節奏和韻律。」（摘自《文學的基本原理》）詩不僅通過簡單的字詞、簡短的句子結構，來表達出深遠的意思，還富有音樂性─這是詩歌語言與散文語言的重要區別。童詩因為內容淺白，較容易了解和受小孩子歡迎，所以被歸納為小孩子閱讀的詩。不過，這不代表它脫離了詩的本質。

讓孩子自小學習英文童詩，也就是讓他自小接觸文學。他們不僅可藉此了解甚麼是押韻、節奏、古語和俚語，還有助啟蒙英語閱讀和會話能力，甚至幫助他們發掘出寫作的興趣。且正因為童詩簡單易明，內容天真富想像力，貼近孩子的想法，許多甚至可以一邊唱頌，一邊做動作，讓孩子可以通過一種輕鬆好玩的方式，學習英語單字、句型，與正確的發音和音調，促進他們學習英語的興趣，且不容易「過目即忘」。
