Even if babies and toddlers can learn to read, what's the rush?

就算嬰幼兒可以學習閱讀，但我們為什麼要如此匆忙呢?
Well, in the next half hour, we're going to separate truth from hype,

好了，在接下來的半個小時，我們將從炒作中辨認真理。

下一代成長的故事。它叫做 Little Reader。
The benefits that I've seen with Little Reader have been dramatic,

我親眼目睹使用 Little Reader 的顯著成效，
and we didn't experience that with other systems that we've tried.

那是我們以前使用其他系統時從未體驗過的。
It's just amazing how much more I think she's going to be independent now,

這太神奇了，我覺得她現在在學習中的
in certain aspects of her learning because she's able to read.

一些方面更加獨立了，因為她已經能夠閱讀了。
Knowing that my not even 2 year old son recognizes words,

當知道我不到兩歲的兒子已經開始認字了，
I am telling you I feel like Superwoman.

我真覺得自己就是女超人。
It's like, "Oh, my gosh, I'm teaching them something,

那感覺就像是，「天啊，我居然教給了他們東西，

Well, I have the same questions too, so I asked Early Literacy Expert,

我也有同樣的疑問。因此，
Dr. Richard Gentry, author of many books including

我問了早教專家 Richard Gentry　博士，他出了很多書，包含
Raising Confident Readers From Baby to Aged 7.

《從嬰兒到七歲撫養自信小讀者》 (Raising Confident Readers From Baby to Aged 7)。
With over 30 years of experiences, he is a former elementary school teacher

他以前曾擔任小學教師和大學教授，至今已有超過 30 年的教育經驗。
and university professor who has lectured on Early Learning and Literacy

他曾在世界各地發表關於早期學習
throughout the world.

及識字的演說。
Can babies and toddlers really learn to read?

嬰幼兒真的可以學習閱讀嗎？
In a nutshell, yes,

簡單地說，可以。
and you can see many examples of babies and toddlers who have learned to read words.

並且您可以親自見證很多嬰幼兒學會閱讀單字的範例。
Parents like author Winifred Stoner have been teaching babies to read since almost

像作家 Winifred Stoner 這樣的家長早在一百年前
a hundred years ago.

就開始教嬰兒閱讀了。
Then why have there been resistance by some experts to embrace the notion that

那麼，為什麼一些專家還拒絕接受嬰兒可以學會閱讀
babies can learn to read?

這個觀念呢？
There's an academic blind spot. Some experts hypothesize that babies can't read.

這裡有一個學術盲點，一些專家假定嬰兒不會閱讀。
What we do know is that babies lack the 6-year-old brain capacity

我們都知道嬰兒缺乏開展正式閱讀教學
which is needed for formal reading instruction.

所需的六歲兒童大腦能力。
Six year olds have to work hard to understand the complex reading system

六歲兒童需努力用左半腦來理解
with their left brain.

複雜的閱讀系統。
Babies, however, likely use their right brain capacities

然而，嬰兒很可能是利用他們的右半腦能力
for pattern and word recognition.

來識別樣式及單字。
They learn informally, and to them, it's more like playing a game.

他們學習起來輕鬆隨意，更像是在玩遊戲。
So, how can we teach babies and toddlers to read?

那麼，我們該如何教嬰幼兒學會閱讀呢？
The one crucial component that has never changed is that

始終不變的決定性因素是︰
parents are the key to any success.

父母是孩子取得任何成功的關鍵。
Just good old one-on-one parent and child interaction.

傳統的家長與孩子一對一的互動方式就很好，
But an extremely important element is having a complete toolkit

但擁有一整套可以讓家長省心的工具
that makes it easy for parents.

也極其重要。
One such tool kit that helps parents teach their babies and toddlers to read

其中一個可以幫助家長教嬰幼兒閱讀的工具組件
is Little Reader!

就是 Little Reader﹗
Before my conversation with Dr. Gentry,

在與 Gentry 博士交談之前，
we invited a group of parents to try out Little Reader on their babies or toddlers.

我們邀請了一組家長來讓他們的嬰幼兒試用 Little Reader。
They used Little Reader on a regular basis and documented the learning process.

他們定期使用 Little Reader 並記錄了學習過程。
Let's meet one of these parents.

讓我們來見見其中一位家長。
Hi I'm Amy and this is my daughter Willa.

大家好，我是 Amy，這是我女兒 Willa。
She's almost 16 months old and we are very excited to try BrillKids Little Reader,

她快 16 個月大了，可以試用 BrillKids 的 Little Reader，我們感到非常興奮，
aren't we?

不是嗎?
Everybody in our house is always on the computer,

我們家的每個人都一直在使用電腦，
it's a great way for her to have her own computer time...

對她來說，這是擁有她自己的用電腦時間的很好方式...
Ready to start?

準備好開始了嗎?
...and be educational at the same time! Right?

...而且還很有教育意義﹗對吧？
It's like it's tailor made for her attention span that we get on, she gets her little...

這好像是根據她的注意廣度量身定做的，這正是我們希望的。她拿到了她的小小的...
you know... word flash lessons and just she's tickled.

你知道... 那種單字閃示課程，那正是她喜歡的。
There's no pressure, you pick it up when you want to pick it up,

使用起來毫無壓力，想學就學，
it turns off when you want to turn it off and, she loves it.

想停就停，她非常喜歡。
Now, I can actually say to her,

現在，我只要對她說︰
"Willa, do you want to go do your Little Reader?" and

「Willa，你想用你的 Little Reader 嗎？」然後
she runs over where the laptop is and, waits for me to turn it on

她就會跑到膝上型電腦旁邊，等著我打開電腦。
It has been nothing but fun time and bonding activity for Willa and I together

整個過程充滿樂趣，是增進我和 Willa 的親密關係時間，
Willa loves Little Reader

Willa 很喜歡 Little Reader
Say bye bye

說再見
There were several things that came up consistently between the parents who tried

試用 Little Reader 的家長們反映了一些類似的評論。
Little Reader. One of them was how easy it was to use.

其中之一便是它極其易於使用。
Little Reader deliberates. It makes a puzzle that anybody can pick it up,

Little Reader 經過精心設計，造就了任何人都可以使用、
turn it on, install it.

啟動、安裝的神奇課程。
Everything is prompted in on the screen, so even I couldn't screw up.

所有事項都會在螢幕上提示，連我都不會弄錯。
All you have to do is click Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, press Play and go.

您只需要按一下「第 1 天」(Day 1)，「第 2 天」 (Day 2) 或「第 3 天」(Day 3), 再按一下按鍵「播放」(Play) 就可以了。
So I was like, "This is easy! I can do it! I can do it without him!"

我當時就想︰「這太簡單了﹗ 不用他幫忙我自己就可以搞定﹗ 」
It's 5 minutes a day, it's fun for them, they are learning at the same time.

一天 5 分鐘，對他們來說非常有趣，同時還學到了東西。
Little Reader's short amount of time that they require of you

Little Reader 要求使用的時間很短，
allows me to be truly focused on helping him and making it more exciting for him.

使我可以真正專注地幫助他，且讓他對它更加感興趣。
If I can make 10 minutes a day with 5 kids then, and a job,

如果我每天在 5 個孩子身上只需花 10 分鐘時間，那麼，我認為
I think pretty much anyone can do that.

這是一件絕大多數人都可以完成的工作。
As a parent you just want to help your children

作為父母，您只想幫助您的孩子，
and this is the easiest thing you could do.

這是您可以做到的最簡單的事情。
Many of my friends have asked, "Shouldn't we just let babies be babies?"

許多朋友曾問我︰「讓寶寶簡簡單單做寶寶不好嗎？」
I asked Dr. Gentry if we've become a generation of neurotic flash card parents

我問過 Gentry 博士，是不是我們已經變成了神經質的閃卡父母，
forcing the early learning issue.

操之過急地強制執行早期學習？
The great news is that with baby and toddler reading, no force is necessary.

好消息是，嬰幼兒閱讀教學並不需要強制執行。
In fact, it's the COMPLETE OPPOSITE because babies and toddlers love to learn!

實際上，事實正好相反，因為嬰幼兒喜歡學習﹗
These lessons are just like playtime for her.

接受這些課程對她來說就是在玩耍。
I'd go, "It's time for your lesson," and they all run for the room.

我得走了，「上課時間到了，」他們都跑進房間。
Owen will come up and say, "More flashcards, more Little Reader."

Owen 會過來說: 「還要更多閃卡，還要更多 Little Reader。」
Lily will grab the laptop and say, "More, more, more!"

Lily 抓住筆記本說：「再學會兒，再學會兒，再學會兒！」
She loves it so much that she asks for it several times a day.

她太喜歡課程了，每日都要我們給她看好幾次。
My son gets very excited as soon as he sees the first word pop onto the screen,

我兒子一見到第一個人物從螢幕上蹦出，就異常興奮。
he realizes, "Oh, we're getting ready to do the program."

他認識到：「噢，我們要準備學習課程了。」
He absolutely loves it.

他真的非常喜歡課程。
With this program, the kids are able to be kids and enjoy themselves

有了這個課程，孩子們可以儘情玩得開心
they don't even know they're learning.

他們甚至都沒有意識到自己在學習，
They just think it's, like, a video game.

在他們看來，這就像個視訊遊戲。
Isabella loves Little Reader. Like, it's amazing, honestly.

Isabella 非常喜歡 Little Reader。坦白說，它非常神奇。
I know my son loves it, I know everybody else who's used it loves it.

我知道兒子喜歡它，每一個使用過的人都喜歡它。
We've seen some incredible footage of babies and toddlers reading

我們看到過一些令人吃驚的嬰幼兒閱讀視訊片段，
using the revolutionary Little Reader program.

他們使用了具有創新性的 Little Reader 課程。
However,

然而，
some experts question if they're actually reading or just memorizing the words.

有些專家懷疑他們是否真的是在閱讀還是僅僅記單字而已。
I asked early literacy expert, Dr. Richard Gentry,

我問早期讀寫專家 Richard Gentry 博士，
how do babies and toddlers learn to read?

嬰幼兒如何能學會閱讀呢？
Well, experts define reading in different ways.

嗯，專家們對閱讀有不同定義，
We know that babies don't start out reading words phonetically.

我們知道嬰兒不是以發音開始進行閱讀的，
They seem to start out reading the whole word and demonstrating that

而像是閱讀整個單字並表現出
they know its meaning.

他們懂得單字的含義。
However, incredibly, many parents are reporting that over time,

然而，難以置信的是，許多父母報導，隨著時間的推移，
their toddlers seem to be picking up on word patterns intuitively.

幼兒似乎可以憑直覺學會新單字的樣式。
Dr. Gentry, you've chosen to endorse Little Reader as the recommended toolkit

Gentry 博士，您選擇代言 Little Reader
for teaching babies and toddlers to read.

並推薦其作為嬰幼兒閱讀教學的工具包。
What makes Little Reader so special and why does it work?

那 Little Reader 有何特別之處？它為何有效呢？
I've examined other programs, but Little Reader stands out for me.

我也測試過其他課程，但 Little Reader 是最出色的，
It takes advantage of modern day technology to deliver lessons

它充分利用現代科技進行授課，
that are more engaging for little children and easier for parents.

這對小孩來說更具吸引力，對家長來說更簡單輕鬆。
Because it's software-driven, it's able to deliver lessons in ways

因為它是軟體驅動，
that's never before been possible with flash cards or DVDs alone.

可採用前所未有的方式授課，而這是僅用閃卡或 DVD 無法實現的。
Little Reader I think goes above the DVD-based system because of its variation,

我認為 Little Reader 比那些基於 DVD 系統好的方面在於它的多樣化教學方式，
because it engages the kids a lot more,

從而更吸引兒童。
We had used other programs with my daughter,

我們曾給我女兒使用其他課程，
but I really liked with Little Reader that it was done in such short bursts.

但是我還是很喜歡 Little Reader，它在短時間內就可以完成，
It was better for a smaller infant's attention span,

這更符合嬰兒短暫的注意力持續時間，
Just every day, I see them finding something else that they enjoy about it,

每天，我都發現他們可以找到自己喜歡的一些不同的東西，
because it changes every day.

因為它每天都會發生變化。
It'll change the character, or the animal,

它將更改角色或動物，
Different font, different color, different script, different voice saying it.

變換不同字體、顏色、腳本及配音。
Not only are you learning the things that are programmed in,

孩子不僅可學習課程的內容，
you can teach them things about your own family.

還可以讓他們學習自己家裏的事物。
"That's my mom in that picture," and

「圖片裏的人是我媽咪，」和
I'm identifying this word or

「我在認那個單字，」或
"That's our dog, in our own home."

「那是我們的狗狗，在我們家。」
When grandma comes into town, and the children have seen her on Little Reader,

當奶奶來到鎮上時，孩子們已經在 Little Reader 上多次見過她，
over and over again, they warm up right away.

因此很快就熟悉了。
Every time Grandpa's picture came up, he would say,

每次出現爺爺的圖片，他會叫︰
"Grandpa!, Grandpa! Grandpa!"

「爺爺﹗爺爺﹗爺爺﹗」
...and when he saw Grandpa in person, that was like his favorite person...

...當他親眼見到爺爺時，就像見到他最喜歡的人...
Don't some pediatricians say that a baby shouldn't be watching anything on a screen

不是有兒科醫師說過，兩歲之前的嬰兒最好不要觀看
before the age of two?

螢幕上的任何內容嗎？
The concern is over inappropriate content and the lack of parental interaction

這個擔心是由基於對觀看不適當內容的憂慮，
if the TV is being used as a baby-sitter.

以及將電視用作臨時看護使用時缺乏親子互動。
Today,

如今，
organizations like the National Association for the Education of Young Children

全美幼兒教育協會等組織機構
are recognizing the importance of technology,

開始認識到科技的重要性，
and are moving to encourage parents to use technology in responsible ways.

並且正在努力鼓勵家長以負責任的方式利用科技。
In fact, with Little Reader, you also have access to one of the largest early learning

實際上，使用 Little Reader 的同時，您也就進入了世界上最大的
online communities in the world.

早期教育線上社群之一。
Giving you support from tens of thousands of parents

可以獲得成千上萬家長的幫助，
and the ability to download a ton of additional free content

並可以下載大量各種不同語言
in all sorts of different languages.

I really enjoy being a part of the Little Reader community online.

很高興能加入 Little Reader 線上社群，
I can connect with parents all over the globe,

這樣我可以和全球的父母聯絡，
and not feel alone in early learning.

而不會在早期教育過程中覺得孤助無援。
That kind of support is really valuable to parents

這種支援對父母來說真是彌足珍貴
Yeah, I think the community involvement that you can download customized content

嗯，我覺得社群可供下載全球各地父母們的個性化製作內容，
from people all over the globe, is phenomenal.

這一點真的很了不起。
We have potentially years' worth of educational tools, you know, that we can tap into.

我們可以挖掘可供數年使用的教育資源，
There's no way you can just be finished and be like,

而不會像學習其他課程或 DVD 一樣說︰
"Ok, I've completed the whole program," like these other programs or like DVDs,

「好了，我已經完成了整個課程。」
Little Reader, you actually can just keep adding on, adding on, adding on,

Little Reader 的內容真的可以不斷地添加，添加，再添加，
it never ends.

永無止境。
It's limitless. You can keep going,

它是無限的，您可以持續使用，
even though my kids are going to be 2 and 4,

它並沒有界限，即便孩子到了 2 和 4 歲仍然可用，
I'll probably be able to do this for the next several years

我極有可能在接下來的數年仍然可以使用它，
and never run out of content.

不必擔心內容教完了。
You can see how special and revolutionary Little Reader is,

您可以看到 Little Reader 非常與眾不同而創新，
but how does it actually help your child?

但它究竟是如何幫助您的孩子的呢？
Once again, let's check in with our group of parents to see how

再一次，我們請上我們的家長組，來看看他們的
their children benefited from using Little Reader.

孩子使用了 Little Reader 後獲得了什麼收益。
I've definitely seen an improvement in his vocabulary,

我確定他的詞彙量大大增加了，
We have been trying to teach him the parts of his face for months now,

我們曾花了數月時日教他面部器官，
and Little Reader taught it to him in like, 2 weeks.

而 Little Reader 卻在短短兩星期就教會了他。
What I noticed was that their vocabulary jumped.

我注意到他們詞匯量突飛猛進。
We exposed her to the program, and it was just like an explosion

我們讓她使用此課程，效果非常好
I'll come home in the evenings or

我晚上或週末回家，
on the weekends when I get to spend more time with her,

這樣與她有更多相處時間，
and I'll go, "Where did she learn that?" And just Lisa goes, "Little Reader!"

而我也覺得很驚訝︰「她從哪裡學的這些東西？」而 Lisa 說：「Little Reader﹗」
His speech has improved dramatically since he started doing the Little Reader program.

開始學習 Little Reader 課程以後，他的說話能力顯著提高。。
I really feel that this program's helped them talk so much, and know so much,

我真的覺得這個課程非常有助於他們開口講話，
and we have conversations with them. Just like they're little people.

並且教會他們這麼多，從而我們可以和他們交談，就好像他們是小大人一樣。
He was always active, but he wasn't as vocal as he needed to be.

他一直都很活躍，但卻不能正常開口說話。
That's not a problem now. He's very vocal.

現在已經沒有這個問題了，他現在話多了起來。
There's a lot less crying in our house, and that's priceless.

我們家的哭聲少多了，這種快樂是無價的。
it's just heartbreaking to hear your kid trying to communicate with you

聽到自己孩子努力嘗試跟你交流，
and see their frustration on their face and not know what to do about it.

看到他們臉上挫敗的表情，卻不知該做甚麼，簡直令人心碎。
Her sentence structure, and her developing ability to speak to us,

現在她掌握了些句子結構，說話的能力正在形成，
to where we can really carry on a conversation with her,

我們可以真正跟她對話了，
it's been fantastic.

真的是太好了。
It's cool talking to other parents that haven't been doing programs or things similar

同其他還未體驗類似課程或事情的父母說起這事感覺真好，
and they're like, "Your kid's talking?"

他們的反應往往是：「你的孩子可以講話？」
and they see her like saying these words, and communicating brilliantly,

當他們真正看到她說話，出色地與人交流時，
so I'm pretty proud.

我感到無比自豪。
Wow! Expansion of vocabulary and improved communication.

哇﹗詞彙量得到了擴充，交流也有了很大地改進。
Listen now to see how this revolutionary program can turn your child into

現在我們來聽聽，看看這個創新課程是如何將您的孩子變成一個
a little reader.

小閱讀者。
I almost cried the first time I saw her read a word.

我第一次聽到她讀出一個單字時，幾乎哭了出來，
It was, "teeth."

那個單字是「牙」。
She saw the word on the computer,

她看著電腦上的單字，
she pointed at her teeth, and she pointed at mine.

指指她自己和我的牙齒。
I wasn't ready for that. I was like,

我完全沒有心理準備，當時心想：
"Oh my gosh, she's really getting this!"

「天哪，她真的知道這個單字的含義了﹗」
When I lowered the volume and the word, "apple" flashed without the picture,

我調低音量，螢幕上閃現出單字「蘋果」，沒有圖片，
he would go, "apple,"

他也念了出來︰「蘋果」。
so he is actually recognizing the words on the screen.

他是真的認得螢幕上的單字。
I didn't expect for them to actually look at a word and start reading it at,

我並沒有期待他們真可以看到一個單字就可以念出來，
you know, 1.

你知道，才一歲。
And so to see that he did that was,

當真的看到他可以這麼做時，反應就會是，
"Oh my god."

「天哪﹗」
I started writing it on a board, and I say,

我開始在黑板上寫下單字，然後問︰
"What does this say?"

「這個怎麼念？」
And every time now, he says, "Eat!"

現在每次他都說︰「吃﹗」
And literally, I flipped page to page and she read the whole sentence,

一個一個字地，我一頁一頁地翻，她能讀出整個句子，
and I thought, "Wh- what's the trick here?"

而我當時就想︰「這裡的訣竅是什麼？」
Here I am with my daughter, she's 2, and she's reading a story to me,

我現在跟女兒在一起，她才兩歲，正在讀故事給我聽，
and I'm just like, amazed.

我實在是太吃驚了。
Stay tuned to learn how you can bring Little Reader home to your baby

不要離開，繼續關注瞭解如何將 Little Reader 帶回家給您的孩子使用，
and give him the most incredible gift

在他生命中最適合學習的階段給他
during the most explosive learning period of his life.

最好的禮物。
And when we come back, we'll ask teachers if early reading programs

稍後我們將諮詢老師，早教閱讀課程
really make a difference in separating the kids in the classroom.

是不是真的能讓孩子在班級中出類拔萃？
You may be shocked at their responses.

您也許會對他們的回答感到震驚。
For those of you just tuning in, we've been exploring the subject

對於剛剛進來的觀眾們，我們正在同 Richard Gentry　博士
of teaching babies and toddlers to read with Dr. Richard Gentry.

一起探討有關嬰幼兒閱讀教學專題。
Dr. Gentry is an author, former teacher, and university professor

Gentry 博士是一名作家，以前曾是教師及大學教授，
with over 30 years of experience in the field of early learning and literacy.

在早期學習和讀寫教育領域有著 30 多年從業經驗。
Dr. Gentry, some parents would ask, "Won't my child learn to read in school?"

Gentry 博士，一些家長可能會問︰「我的小孩上學再學閱讀有何不可？」
The best thing about learning to read early is that

早期閱讀教學最大的好處在於，
it opens the door for children to learn about what they're interested in.

它為孩子們打開去瞭解他們感興趣內容的大門。
Imagine how happier children would be if they could read and learn

想像一下，在大多數同齡兒童還只能欣賞那些書本上的圖片時，
all about their favorite dinosaurs at the age of 5,

而您的孩子在五歲時便可以閱讀及學習他們最喜歡的恐龍，
when most children their age can only admire the pictures in the books.

他們將會多麼開心。
But shouldn't we just leave that to the teachers?

但是這些交給老師不就好了嗎？
Forty-three per cent of children enter kindergarten not ready for success with reading.

入讀幼稚園百分之四十三的兒童並沒有做好成功學會閱讀的準備，
The teacher's role is very important.

老師的作用很重要，
But whether you like it or not, you are your child's first and best teacher.

但是不管您喜歡與否，您自己才是孩子第一任也是最好的老師。
I used to work at a preschool and I'm a FIRM believer in parents first.

我曾在幼兒園工作，我堅信父母對於孩子才是最關鍵的。
With Little Reader, it enables all parents to become their children's first teacher.

Little Reader 可以幫助所有父母成為子女的第一任老師。
it makes it so much easier, like I'm not a licensed teacher or whatever it is,

它大大簡化了事情，比如，雖然我不是持證的老師或就職於過類似職業，
but I feel like it.

但是我感覺我就是老師。
The preschool teacher must have a great time,

幼兒園老師看到您孩子全部學會這些內容時，
seeing your child learn all these things,

一定感到很快樂，
but why not you?

為什麼不自己親自來教呢？
If you can have that quality time with your child and

既可以與孩子一起共度美好時光，
see your child learn a new word,

還可以教他們學習新單字，從而他們更好地與您交流，
to be able to communicate with you better,

何樂而不為？
why not make that

為何不成為
you be the first person to see that in your child?

第一個見證孩子進步的人呢？
The Little Reader program makes me feel like I'm a better mom

Little Reader 課程讓我覺得自己是個更好的媽媽
I feel like one of those moms now, like I could put an "S" on my chest,

我覺得自己是那些媽媽中的一員，覺得我可以在胸前放一個「S」，
like yes, I am that good.

是的，我就是這麼棒。
It makes me feel good about what we're doing because I think I'm teaching them,

我現在感覺很好，因為我在親自教他們，
as opposed to putting them in front of a screen with a running DVD.

而不是把他們放在播放 DVD 的螢幕前面了事。
I was always told I'd be a great teacher,

經常有人告訴我說我會是一名好老師，
and my parents always wanted me to be a teacher, and now I get to be a teacher.

並且我父母也總是希望我當老師，現在我就是。
But to the best student, my own child.

但是教我的得意門生，我自己的孩子，
It's the best.

這才是最棒的。
To truly understand if early learning impacts a child's future academic success,

為了真正瞭解早期教學是否會影響兒童的未來學業成功，
let's ask the experts on the frontline of learning

讓我們諮詢一下前線的專家
- Parents using Little Reader who are also teachers.

- 使用 Little Reader 的家長，也是老師。
Meet Mia, a former teacher and mother of 21-month-old triplets,

Meet Mia 以前曾經做過老師，現在是 21 個月大的三胞胎的媽媽。
and Greg, a current sixth grade English teacher and father of a 22-month-old son.

還有 Greg，現在是六年級英語老師，有一個 22 個月大的兒子。
As a teacher in 6th grade,

作為一名六年級的老師，
you could really tell those that were not engaged or introduced

你能分辨出對那些未花心思培養孩子閱讀，
or even have the books at home to read,

甚至家裡根本就沒有閱讀書籍的家庭，
even whether it was early on or later on,

不管是早期還是隨後的學習中，
they just didn't care to read.

他們都表現得對閱讀毫不在乎。
As a teacher, I think it would be absolutely important

作為一名老師，我認為儘早開始
that you start a program like Little Reader to read,

使用像 Little Reader 這種課程去閱讀、
to learn vocabulary as soon as possible

學習詞彙很重要，
that would make my job a lot easier.

這會讓我的工作輕鬆許多。
If you teach it at home, it transfers over into school.

您在家裡教，則會對學校學習產生潛移默化的作用。
It would help a lot of my students now if we could go back in time

若時光倒流，在適當的時期開始教孩子，
and get them started on it now.
