Features: Broaden reading horizons, stimulate reading interest, master reading methods, and improve reading skills! This open-ended reading series is edited by Tian Rongjun. It is divided into six volumes by grade level, with each unit consisting of reading training and extended reading and reflection. In the writing process, we adhere to the principle of selecting texts that are both beautiful in content and form, featuring works by peers as well as famous masterpieces. The selected texts emphasize alignment with the actual learning abilities of middle school students, are, and are loved by students. In terms of exercise design, we adhere to the principle of operability. Exercises are not exhaustive but must grasp key knowledge points, reflecting a step-by-step approach. The new standards for primary school Chinese curriculum have raised higher requirements for the cultivation of students' reading and writing skills, explicitly stating that in teaching, teachers should cultivate students to "enjoy reading, feel the joy of reading; read fairy tales, fables, and stories suitable for their age, yearn for beautiful situations, care about nature and life, have their own feelings and thoughts about interesting people and events, and be willing to communicate with others; gain initial emotional experiences, appreciate the beauty of language; share their reading feelings with others; accumulate beautiful words, wonderful sentences, and language materials obtained from extracurricular reading and life; deduce the expression sequence of the text in reading, appreciate the author's thoughts and emotions, and initially grasp the basic expression methods of the text; in discussions, dare to express their own opinions and make their own judgments; learn to skim, broaden their knowledge, and gather information as needed." Therefore, our language teaching should guide students through open-ended reading to help them accumulate rich language materials, especially by learning excellent cultural works, allowing them to experience and appreciate the language charm of outstanding works in the process of language practice, thereby increasing their cultural heritage and achieving a qualitative breakthrough in reading skills. I have always advocated that the process of reading instruction should be organically combined with cultivating students' moral character, elevating their ideological realm, and improving their cultural taste, allowing students to experience and discover insights through reading. In open-ended reading activities, it is essential to enhance students' sense of subjectivity, guide them to think independently, and cultivate an active and proactive spirit of exploration, thereby developing their wisdom and creative abilities. Teachers should reduce constraints on students' reading, allowing them to fully expand their thinking, enter their own imaginative space, dare to express themselves freely, and showcase their distinctive individuality. Students should enjoy the joy of reading and be inspired to gain confidence. Open reading is a comprehensive openness, not only in the process of reading learning but also in the openness of reading learning thinking and content. The open-ended thinking in reading learning requires teachers to continuously create conditions to achieve the openness of students' reading space and continuously expand the field of reading. The open-ended thinking in reading learning also requires teachers to continuously guide students to innovate in reading, achieving the expansion of students' thinking. Because students' minds are active, their perspectives are clear, their personalities are unique, and their sense of life is strong, innovation is also the soul of students' reading, the key to showcasing their individuality, fully demonstrating their personal talents, and experiencing the joy of reading. Only by allowing students to actively and creatively engage in reading and experiencing it with their hearts can reading become a ladder for students to develop a well-rounded personality, enrich their knowledge, and pursue progress. Based on such reflections, we have compiled this open-ended reading series, divided into six volumes according to different grades, with each volume containing eighteen open-ended reading exercises and six extended reading reflections. Each unit consists of three open-ended reading exercises and one extended reading reflection. In the writing process, we adhere to the principle of selecting texts that are both beautiful in content and form, featuring works by peers as well as famous masterpieces, filling students' hearts with pride and hope, and their eyes with excitement and wonder. Beautiful fairy tales can evoke their heartfelt smiles; moving stories can open their innocent hearts; sincere friendships can express their passionate emotions; and exquisite pictures can showcase their vibrant lives. Providing them with such natural and sincere language exchanges and telling them to read with their hearts and wisdom will allow them to experience that reading is a harvest.
