Currently, our upper grades have accumulated valuable experience in whole-book reading. Subject teachers in grades five and six carefully select classic books suitable for different cognitive levels, including shared reading titles such as Ordinary World, Robinson Crusoe, Journey to the West, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, as well as optional readings covering literature, science, and history. Children are encouraged to read widely and develop their interests. Through thoughtfully designed guiding questions, reading logs, diverse book-sharing sessions, staged plays, in-depth book reports, and role evaluations, children are guided to savor the language, delve into characters’ inner worlds, and explore thematic meanings. We are delighted to see their reading horizons broaden, critical and deep thinking significantly improve, and expressive abilities mature, gradually bridging the gap from shallow to deep reading.
