Features: This is a children's English reading book. The selected stories are vivid and interesting, closely related to daily life. The overall design is rich in illustrations and images, making it intuitive and engaging. This book not only helps students acquire English knowledge but also maximizes the expansion of their cultural horizons, allowing them to naturally absorb a wealth of cultural influences. To some extent, it deepens their understanding of foreign customs and cultures, gradually fostering cross-cultural awareness, which is crucial for their future English learning. Reading is an extremely important part of English learning. The Ministry of Education's "English Curriculum Standards" places great emphasis on students' reading training, providing detailed goal descriptions for the nine levels of reading skills and setting clear requirements for extracurricular reading volume for levels 3 to 8. To better implement the curriculum standards and meet the reading needs of primary and secondary school students, we have revised the original "Oxford English Story Park." The new "Oxford English Story Park Reading Series" is tailored to the cognitive characteristics of primary and secondary school students and strives to achieve the following goals:
1. Stimulate students' interest in learning. This series consists of sixteen books, each containing two to four stories. They are arranged according to the psychological characteristics of students at different age groups. Levels 1A to 3B are primarily dialogue-based, while levels 4A to 8B are primarily narrative-based. The selected stories are vivid and interesting, closely related to students' daily lives. The plot-driven and life-oriented content, combined with exquisite illustrations and real photos, fully stimulates students' interest in learning, cultivates a positive learning attitude, and allows them to deeply experience the joy of learning English.
2. Improve students' reading skills. The series covers a wide range of themes, genres, and content, with a high volume of English information, integrating knowledge, fun, science, and a sense of the times. To effectively help students improve their reading skills, each story is followed by exercises and tests on the content of the passage, as well as annotations on the vocabulary and sentence structures used in the story. Through reading, students can analyze and understand the language material, capture and process the information in the text, and develop their English thinking, association, judgment, and inference skills.
3. Enhance students' cultural literacy. While helping students acquire English knowledge, this series maximizes the expansion of their cultural horizons, allowing them to naturally absorb a wealth of cultural influences. To some extent, it deepens their understanding of foreign customs and cultures, gradually fostering cross-cultural awareness, which is crucial for their future English learning.
Each book in this series is self-contained, with difficulty progressing progressively from one level to the next. It can be used in conjunction with "Oxford Primary English" or as supplementary reading material for extracurricular or classroom learning.
