维校暑期阅读推荐｜探索知识的奇妙之旅

不知不觉间，假期已经过半，很多家庭应该都去了各种地方游玩、探索新奇的事物。现在，孩子们可能已经回到了温馨的家中，休息并准备迎接接下来的日子。对于这些回家的孩子们，除了回忆和分享他们在旅途中的经历，为什么不找点书来阅读呢？

阅读是另一种美妙的旅游，可以足不出户带领我们进入不同的世界，体验各种冒险和情感。通过阅读，孩子们可以扩大自己的知识和想象力，发展语言表达能力，并培养对文字的理解和分析能力。而在家中的舒适环境里，他们可以静静地享受阅读的乐趣，跟随着故事的情节和角色一同成长。

选择适合自己年龄和兴趣的书籍是非常重要的。无论是冒险故事、科幻小说、还是有趣的绘本，都有助于孩子们发展阅读习惯和培养爱书的兴趣。家长们可以和孩子一起探索图书馆或书店，挑选一些经典的作品，让孩子们沉浸在书籍的世界中。

为了下学期即将来到VPA的孩子们能更好地适应双语环境，我们的老师们为分别为初中部和小学部新生整理了一份暑期阅读清单。当然，我们也鼓励所有孩子在任何时候都可以多读书，不管你是新生还是老生，是VPA的学生还是对VPA充满好奇的学生，都一起来看看吧。

我们按不同科目整理了不同的书籍，对于即将升入六、七年级的新生，我们推荐了以下书目：

对于准备入读小学一年级的孩子们，我们也有一些中英文阅读推荐：

英文书籍推荐更是丰富多彩，大家可以根据自己的喜好来挑选心仪的书籍：

阅读一直都是VPA的一大特色，我们致力于培养孩子们的阅读兴趣，助力他们养成良好的阅读习惯，让阅读成为他们生活中必不可少的一部分。

我们还采用Renaissance Reading，一款权威的在线英语教学软件，该软件拥有强大的数据库，与国际接轨，能充分激发学生的英语学习潜能。

通过在图书上进行理解测验和仔细的阅读活动，教师能就学生的能力和学习进度得到及时精确反馈，给予学生合适指导，助其快速进步，达到学习目标，加强孩子们的阅读技能。

三年级以上的学生都会用Renaissance来进行阅读，一到二年级的孩子们则会使用Raz Kids进行分级阅读。

Raz-Kids是一款屡获殊荣的教学产品，为学生提供全面的分级阅读资源。它提供了数百本电子书，涵盖了29个不同阅读难度的级别，为每个学生提供了适合他们的内容。

每本电子书都可以在移动设备上访问，并允许学生按自己的节奏听读，并记录自己的朗读。学生接着会进行相应的eQuiz测试，包括延伸性问答，以测试理解并确定未来的教学需求。一旦一个孩子阅读了十本或更多的分级电子书，并通过了相应的eQuiz，他们将进入到下一个阅读级别，在那里他们可以接触更长且更难的文本。

总体而言，我们采用的这些软件都在努力为学生提供丰富多样的阅读材料和个性化的学习体验，同时为教师提供真实有效的教学支持和数据分析工具，帮助学生取得成功。

在暑假为新生准备的特别课程的最后一天，孔博士也鼓励他们在假期中多读书，让每个孩子借几本英文书带回家，进一步促进他们的英文阅读。

非常期待在开学后看到孩子们在暑期中的收获，我们也将继续支持他们的学习，提供最优质的教育资源和环境，让每个孩子都能发掘自己的潜能，成为优秀的终身学习者和全面发展的个体！

The summer holiday has already reached its halfway point, and many families have probably gone to various places to explore new and exciting things. Now, children may have returned to their cozy homes, resting and preparing for the upcoming school days. For those who have returned home, besides reminiscing and sharing their experiences from the journey, why not pick up some books to read?

Reading is another wonderful form of travel that can take us to different worlds and experiences without leaving our homes. It allows us to embark on various adventures and emotions. Through reading, children can expand their knowledge and imagination, develop their language skills, and cultivate their understanding with words.

Choosing books that are suitable for one's age and interests is crucial. Whether it's adventure stories, science fiction novels, or picture books, they all help children develop reading habits and cultivate a love for books. Parents can explore the library or bookstore with their children, selecting some classic works that will immerse them in the books.

To help the incoming students at VPA better adapt to the bilingual environment in the upcoming semester, our teachers have compiled a summer reading list for both the middle school and elementary school divs. Of course, we encourage all children to read more books at any time, whether you are a new or returning student at VPA, or even just curious about our school.

We have curated different books categorized by subjects. Here are some recommended titles for students who will be entering the sixth and seventh grades:

For children preparing to enter the first grade of primary school, we also have some Chinese and English reading recommendations:

English book recommendations are also diverse, and everyone can choose their favorite books based on their preferences:

Reading has always been a prominent feature of VPA. We are committed to cultivating children's reading interest and helping them develop good reading habits, making reading an essential part of their lives.

In addition, we utilize Renaissance Reading, an authoritative online English teaching software with a powerful database that aligns with international standards. This software effectively unleashes students' potential in English learning.

By conducting comprehension quizzes and careful reading activities on books, teachers can obtain timely and accurate feedback on students' abilities and learning progress. This allows them to provide appropriate guidance to students, helping them make rapid progress and achieve their learning goals, while strengthening their reading skills.

Students in third grade and above use Renaissance for their reading activities, while students in first and second grade use Raz Kids for leveled reading.

Raz-Kids is an award-winning teaching product that provides comprehensive leveled reading resources for students. With hundreds of eBooks offered at 29 different levels of reading difficulty, it's easy to put the right content in every student's hands.

Every eBook is available in online and mobile formats, and allows students to listen to, read at their own pace, and record themselves reading. Students then take a corresponding eQuiz complete with an extended answer response to test comprehension and determine future instruction needs. Once a child has read ten or more of the leveled eBooks and passed each of the corresponding eQuizzes, they advance on to the next reading level where they have access to lengthier and more difficult text.

Overall, the softwares we use provide students with a diverse range of reading materials and personalized learning experiences while offering teachers effective teaching support and data analysis tools to help students succeed.

On the last day of the special summer course prepared for the new students, Dr. Koong also encouraged them to read more during the vacation. Each child was encouraged to borrow a few English books to take home, further promoting their English reading skills.

We are looking forward to seeing the achievements of our students during the summer break when we return to school. We will continue to support their learning, providing the highest quality educational resources and environment, so that they can explore their potentials and become excellent lifelong learners!
