Swipe left or right to switch languages←左右滑动切换语言→Reading comprehension is a pivotal skill in interdisciplinary learning, bridging the knowledge gap across various disciplines. In mathematics, it aids us in accurately understanding problems and selecting appropriate methods for solving them. In scientific inquiry, it assists us in extracting information from literature, laying the foundation for experiments and analyses. In history studies, it enables us to gain insights into the causes and their impacts behind events. Reading serves as a key unlocking the doors of knowledge, allowing us to freely gain valuable experiences from various disciplines, and thus construct a comprehensive and solid knowledge system.

The importance of regular reading habits exceeds far beyond monotonous practices. There are loads of researching data revealing that:★Reading fosters critical and deep thinking capacity. Through extensive reading, students are exposed to a wide range of perspectives and ideas, enabling them to better analyze and evaluate information, ultimately forming their own opinions.★Reading for 15 minutes daily results in an additional exposure to 220,000 Words in a Year. This not only contributes to vocabulary accumulation but also enhances language proficiency.★Reading time is positively correlated with academic performance. Studies have shown that the longer students spend reading, the better their academic performance tends to be, indicating that reading has a positive impact on academic achievement.★Reading time is positively correlated with reading comprehension as well. Reading hones students" comprehension, analytical and other comprehensive skills, enabling them to better understand the content of texts.

As an IB international school, Chengdu Montpellier International School (MIS) not only offers library courses led by professional IB teachers to guide students in their reading, but also allocates reading time from 16:00 to 16:30 on Monday to Thursday, allowing students to immerse themselves in the world of books. Specifically, English reading is scheduled on Mondays and Wednesdays, English mathematics on Tuesdays, and Chinese reading on Thursdays.At MIS, we are committed to creating a favorable ambience where students can immerse themselves in the world of books at any time and in any place. We possess a rich collection of books in English, Chinese, and French, covering a wide range of genres such as history, picture books, fairy tales, novels, science popularization readings, stories, and poetry. These books are thoughtfully arranged in various corners of the teaching areas, including classrooms, corridors, and lounges, allowing students to embark on their reading journeys at any moment with ease. This ubiquitous access to reading resources not only facilitates students" daily reading but also significantly stimulates their interest and enthusiasm for reading.More importantly, these books are not selected arbitrarily but rather through rigorous screening and careful recommendation by professional mentors and authoritative institutions. They choose the most valuable and engaging books based on students" age, cognitive level, and reading interests.

As exemplified by the winter vacation reading list we are sharing today, the Chinese book list is curated by Teacher Ajian, an independent children"s reading promoter and Chengdu Shuyu Public Welfare Lecturer with over a decade of experience in promoting children"s reading. She has compiled library booklists for hundreds of schools and kindergartens nationwide and conducted numerous reading training sessions for parents and teachers. The English book list, on the other hand, is sourced from a leading indicator in the field of English reading, "What Kids Are Reading 2024," the largest and most authoritative report on reading behavior among K-12 students in the United States.It is noteworthy that the Chinese book list is recommended based on grade levels. Furthermore, the English book lists for Grades 3 to 8 correspond to the differentiated English instruction at MIS, with a shared list for Grades 3 to 5 and another for Grades 6 to 8. Compared with the 20 books recommended for Grades 1 to 2, the number of recommended books for Grades 3 to 8 is more extensive, totaling 60 books.These books not only meet the reading needs of students but also assist them in acquiring knowledge, stimulating their thinking, and cultivating their sentiments through reading. By accessing these high-quality books, students can be exposed to diverse cultural backgrounds, ideologies, and fields of knowledge, thereby broadening their horizons, enriching their inner worlds, and fostering cross-cultural communicative competence and multidimensional thinking abilities.

Take English book list as an example:★For students in Grade 1, we recommend reading books such as Hi! Fly Guy and Green Eggs and Ham. These books not only cater to students" reading interests but also cultivate their language expression abilities and imagination in a relaxed and enjoyable reading process.★For students in Grade 2, we recommend reading books such as Charlotte"s Web and The Good Egg. These books, through lively and engaging stories, assist students in understanding important values such as friendship and kindness, while simultaneously enhancing their reading comprehension abilities.★For students in Grades 3 to 5, we recommend reading books such as the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and The Story of Ruby Bridges. These books focus on themes such as growth and emotions, being either close to life or inspiring. They can guide children in thinking deeply about issues, cultivating abilities such as empathy, inclusiveness, and comparative analysis, while enhancing their reading appreciation and emotional cognition.★For students in Grades 6 to 8, we recommend reading books such as Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption. These books feature profound themes and rich connotations, showing the brilliance and resilience of human nature through fantastical or real-life stories. They can stimulate students" imagination, creativity, and critical thinking, guiding them to ponder over society, human nature, and the meaning of life. Additionally, these books enhance literary proficiency, moral judgment, and enrich knowledge of history and science.

Furthermore, we have prepared reading tools to facilitate more engaging and meaningful reading experiences for students.Each reading card features a task designed to enhance students" reading interest and abilities through diversified activities. These tasks encompass a wide range of areas, including book evaluation, vocabulary and grammar learning, text structure and content analysis, drawing and design, writing and creation, prediction and verification, information organization and summarization, question-asking and answering, role-playing and simulation, among others. They cover multiple aspects such as reading comprehension and analysis, creativity and expression, reading strategies and habit development, as well as interaction and communication.The reading challenge activity chart outlines a series of reading activities, with students coloring in the corresponding box upon completion of each task. Upon finishing all tasks, students will be rewarded. The activities are diverse in content, encompassing reading various types of materials (such as books, articles, and daily information), utilizing multiple reading formats (such as individual reading, interactive reading, creation, and sharing), and covering a wide range of themes (such as stories, knowledge, and life). Emphasis is placed on cultivating students" skills in vocabulary accumulation, reading comprehension and analysis, and the development of reading habits.

Herein, we sincerely hope that parents can create a warm and inspiring reading environment at home. To this end, MIS has curated a reading list specifically for parents, inviting them to engage in shared reading experiences with their children. Upon completing each book, we encourage parents to delve into in-depth discussions with their children, drawing upon their own reading experiences and life journeys. Such interactions not only broaden students" knowledge horizons but also foster communication and understanding between parents and children, strengthening their emotional bonds.Upon the return of students to school, we will also organize a captivating post-reading sharingevent, providing a platform for students to showcase themselves and express their feelings. During the event, students will have the opportunity to speak freely and share their reading insights and unique perspectives. This not only helps to hone their expressive abilities but also enhances their self-confidence, allowing them to gain growth and progress through sharing.

We extend our warmest wishes for a joyful winter vacation to all students! We hope that, with a curious and exploratory mindset, students will embark on a journey to uncover the treasures within books and experience the joy and power that reading brings.PS: We are delighted to announce that parents and students now have access to the recommended booklists in both English and Chinese for grades G1-G8.

成都蒙彼利埃外籍人员子女学校MIS作为IB国际学校，我们不仅设置了图书馆课程，由专业的IB老师带领学生进行阅读；还安排了周一到周四16:00-16:30的阅读时间，让学生徜徉在书海之中。其中，每周一、三为英文阅读，周二为英文数学，周四为中文阅读。在MIS，我们致力于打造一个沉浸式的阅读环境，让学生们随时随地都能沉浸在书籍的世界中。我们拥有丰富的英中法三语书籍，涵盖了历史、绘本、童话、小说、科普读物、故事、诗歌等多种题材，这些书籍被精心布置在教学区域的各个角落，无论是教室、走廊还是休息区，学生们都能随时随手开启他们的阅读之旅。这种随处可见的阅读资源，不仅方便了学生们的日常阅读，也极大地激发了他们对阅读的兴趣和热情。更为重要的是，这些书籍并非随意挑选，而是由专业导师和权威机构经过严格筛选和精心推荐的。他们根据学生的年龄特点、认知水平以及阅读兴趣，挑选出*具价值和吸引力的书籍。

正如今天我们分享的寒假阅读书单，中文书单来自独立儿童阅读推广人、成都书语公益讲师阿简老师，她拥有十余年儿童阅读推广经验，曾为全国上百所学校和幼儿园拟定图书室书目，并做过上百场家长、教师阅读培训。英文书单则来自英文阅读领域的“风向标”——全美*大、*权威的阅读行为研究报告《K-12学生阅读大数据报告：What Kids Are Reading 2024》。值得注意的是，中文书单是根据年级进行推荐的。而G3至G8年级的英文书单则是与MIS英语分层教学相对应的，G3至G5年级共用一份书单，G6至G8年级共用另一份书单。与G1至G2年级推荐的20本书相比，G3至G8年级的推荐书目数量更为丰富，达到了60本。这些书籍不仅能够满足学生们的阅读需求，还能帮助他们在阅读中获得知识、启迪思维、陶冶情操。通过阅读这些优质书籍，学生们能够接触到不同的文化背景、思想观念和知识领域，拓宽视野，丰富内心世界，培养跨文化交际能力和多元思维能力。

以英文书单为例：★G1的学生，推荐阅读《Hi!

此外，我们还精心准备了阅读工具来帮助学生更有趣、有意义的阅读。阅读挑战卡的每张卡片上印有一项任务，旨在通过多样化的活动提升学生的阅读兴趣和能力。任务包括评价书籍、学习词汇与语法、分析文本结构与内容、绘画与设计、写作与创作、预测与验证、整理与总结信息、提问与回答、角色扮演与模拟等，涵盖阅读理解与分析、创意与表达、阅读策略与习惯培养、互动与交流等多个方面。阅读挑战活动表则列出了一系列阅读活动，学生每完成一项就在相应框内涂色，完成后可获得奖励。活动内容丰富，包括阅读不同类型的材料（如书籍、文章、日常信息等）、采用多种阅读形式（如个人阅读、互动阅读、创作与分享等）、涉及广泛的主题（如故事、知识、生活等），并注重培养学生的词汇积累、阅读理解与分析、阅读习惯养成等技能。

在此，我们诚挚地希望家长们能够在家中营造一个温馨而富有启发性的阅读环境，MIS精心制定了一份家长阅读书单，邀请家长们与学生们携手共读。每当书籍阅读完成后，也请家长们结合自己的阅读体验和生活阅历，与学生们展开深入的交流和探讨。这样的互动不仅能拓展学生的知识面，还能促进亲子之间的沟通与理解，增进彼此的情感联系。学生们返校后，我们还将举办一场精彩的读后感分享活动，为学生们提供一个展示自我、表达感受的平台。在活动中，学生们可以畅所欲言，分享自己的阅读心得和独特见解，这不仅能锻炼他们的表达能力，还能增强自信心，让他们在分享中收获成长与进步。

祝愿所有学生寒假快乐！希望学生们在假期里带着好奇和探索的心，去发现书籍中的宝藏，感受阅读带来的快乐和力量。PS：想要获取G1-G8中英文推荐书单、家长书单、阅读挑战卡及阅读挑战活动表的家长和同学们，请点击文章末尾左下角头像，直接私信小编哦~
