Features: English Reading for Junior High School (Junior High School Starting Point) is a supplementary publication for English (New Standard) (Junior High School Starting Point), designed for teachers to conduct in-class reading or to guide students in independent out-of-class reading. This book is written based on the requirements of the National English Curriculum Standards for cultivating English reading skills among junior high school students. The overall guiding principle is to enable students to further consolidate the language knowledge learned in class through certain reading activities, expand their reading scope, stimulate learning interest, enhance reading comprehension skills, and ultimately improve their ability to use the language in practice. The book adopts a modular design, with each module containing 3 articles, generally following the themes of the textbook. The book has the following features:

The writing of reading materials is based on language learning principles, with vocabulary and language structures presented in alignment with the cognitive abilities and physical and mental development levels of junior high school students. It strives to maintain synchronization with the textbook while also providing expansion.
