Let's explore the world of English picture books!

G1&2 Library Class

Books are a window for children to know the world. Through reading, children can be introduced to a magical and wonderful book world, making their learning life more colorful and fun. Therefore, our school uses a large number of English book resources in the school library to set up "English Reading class" to improve children's reading interest, develop their good reading habits, and further develop their reading ability.

Grades 1 and 2 have one library class each week. Library teachers will lead children into the wonderful world of picture book reading.

Pre-reading：Before sharing picture books, the library teacher will introduce the background of the picture books, talk with students about the title, author, illustrator, etc., or make predictions about the content of the picture books. Teachers will choose some interesting English picture books and intersperse some humorous actions or sounds at the right time, so as to attract children' s attention and stimulate their interest in reading.

While-reading: Help students to understand the picture book’s information and train students' reading skills. The main task is to understand the general idea and to obtain specific or detailed information of the story through reading. By answering questions and imitating the characters or dialogues in the books, children express themselves boldly, which not only deepen their understanding of the story, but also practice their oral English skills.

After reading the picture book story together, children will take the library card to the bookshelves to choose their favorite English books. There is an old saying: Interest is the best teacher. Reading a favorite English picture book can stimulate children's fun in English learning.

Then, children go back to their seats and quietly read English picture books or English books. Reading English books can gradually enhance students' English language skills, so that they can speak more authentic English.

Finally, the children are handed out the English books they borrowed, and then they sit back on the carpet.

Let's explore the magical world of English picture books together!
