Mass reading is an extremely important part of the ISA Tianhe Chinese Language Programme. From inside to outside the classroom, reading, recitation, imitation, and composition enable students to improve their understanding and expression of Chinese. We follow the learning pattern and interests of students. Last semester, we conducted a mass reading of modern poems and children poems in Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3. After a large amount of extensive reading, the students developed a great interest in imitating and creating poetry, and they were enthusiastically involved in it.

海量阅读是爱莎中文教学极为重要的一环，由课内到课外，由阅读到诵读，由诵读到仿写，由仿写再到创作，层层推进，以期让同学在中文的理解与表达上不断提升。我们遵循学生的学习规律和兴趣，上个学期在一二三年级进行了现代诗、儿童诗的海量阅读，经过近一个学期的广泛阅读，同学们对仿写和创作诗歌产生了极大的兴趣，兴致勃勃地投入到诗歌的仿写和创作中去。

The childlike innocence of ISA Tianhe students is fully released in poetry reading and creation. The children put experiences and feelings of truth, goodness, and beauty into the poetry. Their poetry includes infinite imagination of the vast universe, praising for nature, caring for friends and family, concerning and reflection on real-life, questioning the depths of their hearts, and longing for a world of dreams. The ISA Tianhe Chinese Department will publish a collection of poetry written by the students, helping them record their beautiful poetic hearts and valuable learning at this stage of their lives. ISA Tianhe looks forward to seeing the students grow in their reading habits and writing interests.

童心即诗，爱莎天河学子的童心在诗歌阅读与创作中得到充分的释放。孩子们用稚嫩的小手写下经历和感受到的真、善、美，他们的诗歌里，有对茫茫宇宙的无限想像，有对自然万物的真挚歌颂，有对亲朋好友的热情告白，有对现实问题的关注思考，有对内心深处的直接叩问，有对梦中世界的留恋憧憬等等。每一个小小的心儿都是一个无比丰富斑斓的诗意世界。中文组将同学们创作的诗歌作品集结成册，出版小诗人作品集，帮同学们记录下这个阶段美丽动人的诗意童心和宝贵学习成果，更期待同学们一如既往保持阅读和写作的兴趣，一路收获，一路成长。
