The first time I came across this concept was by accident. A few days ago, in a friend's circle of friends, I saw a video he read with his children, followed his learning process, and saw an English reading called "Oxford Tree Grading Reading". Later, I learned that this is a set of textbooks recommended by Yao Lu's mother series. Later, I learned through Zhihu and Douban that this is a classic textbook for English education in preschool and primary schools from Britain. It is said that the social share is above 80%, and the score is * * * 1- 16. Only 1-9 was introduced in China, and later many versions were derived.
At first, I thought graded reading was a unique concept of Oxford tree. With the deepening of understanding, I found that it is actually a scientific language learning method. There are also many graded reading textbooks in Britain, such as. Later, it was found that this kind of reading materials were also available in the United States, the most famous of which was the Raz series, which had the largest market share in the United States. But the comprehensive evaluation on the Internet shows that Oxford Tree is better than it, so it is necessary to use it as a basic reference for learning.
A study on the Oxford Tree shows that it is indeed a huge English textbook, with 408 volumes in grade nine and a market price of more than 5,400 yuan, which is really unbearable. I just want to see if I can borrow it from the provincial library. I searched official website and found no such books. This can only be bought online.
Before that, I was a little skeptical about the concept of graded reading. Today, I suddenly thought, can this question be verified from the remedial classes that children are attending now? I specifically inquired about the clients of New Oriental and Xuesisi, and found that both of them have graded reading sections in the field of English learning. The teaching materials of New Oriental are said to be the "Big Red Dog" series jointly developed with Britain. All the contents are free for tourists and users, while there are two kinds of teaching materials for learning and thinking: RAZ series in the United States and Oxford Tree series in the United Kingdom, but only some of the contents are free and open. Comparing the two counseling institutions, it is found that the textbook market of New Oriental has little influence, and it is difficult to get relevant articles online early. This further proves that graded reading is a common English learning mode, which is worth learning from.
It suddenly occurred to me that Chinese, as a language, also has the saying of graded reading. After investigation, it is true. Learning and thinking platform has systematic learning materials, which can be used as a reference. But after all, this is our mother tongue, and everyone has their own learning cognition, but there is no one-size-fits-all method. As long as the system can be adhered to, all methods can achieve the same goal through different routes, and in the end they will not be too bad. After all, English is different, foreigners still have the right to speak, and its methods are still worth learning.
There seems to be a way to follow everything, as long as you are good at research!
