Generally speaking, RAZ is a well-known graded reading picture book with 27 difficulty levels. Even in the United States, there are more than 65,438+00,000 schools using this set of books.

Many parents have to wonder: isn't it difficult to use in American schools? There must be some difficulty. First of all, the number of picture books is the largest among all graded reading materials, and there are dozens of them at each level. The more difficult it is, the more difficult it becomes.

But relatively speaking, if you read, the effect of improving children's reading ability is also obvious. There is also a set of graded reading materials, ABC Reading, which was introduced to individuals after learning and thinking, and was revised on imported RAZ books suitable for children in China.

1, number of books:

First of all, in terms of the number of books, ABCreading is not as many as RAZ, and the l 1 level of ABC reading is only about 70, while the original edition has 85.

After the comparative evaluation of fish sir, it is found that the missing contents are some articles related to natural spelling, some articles read independently, and some articles with great cultural differences that are not suitable for children in China.

In short, it is reasonable, but unfortunately there are few articles spelled naturally. Even in the lower grades of the United States, the study of natural spelling is still more important.

2. Theme division:

AZ graded reading divides aa-Z into 27 grades according to the theme, and the division is very fine. However, ABC's reading only has the theme division of aa-F books, and G-Z are collectively called "advanced picture books".

Therefore, ABC reading is not as fine as RAZ's original works in terms of subject division.

3. Orientation of learning purpose:

As Sir Fish said above, RAZ is more difficult, and its initial positioning is for children in American public schools. Therefore, the learning part of RAZ's original works depends more on the teacher's reading guidance, accompanied by paper exercises.

For domestic children, the positioning of ABC reading is an enlightenment learning class, so the content depends more on the output of app, except that the teacher will appear in the video during the intensive class, and there is almost no teacher's guidance.

Therefore, in the orientation of learning purpose, the original RAZ relies more on the real teaching guidance of professional teachers, while ABC reading relies more on the App itself, allowing non-professional parents and children to learn by themselves.

4. Learning module:

In addition, the division of learning modules is also different, and the curriculum design of ABC reading is more in line with the English learning logic of Chinese children. Why do you say that?

Because the original RAZ graded picture book pays more attention to reading comprehension. ABC reading pays more attention to the combination of words and graphics in course learning. The logic of children learning English in China usually begins with word-sentence patterns.

5. Reading experience:

ABC Reading adds a separate preview in front of each article. Click on the back of the picture, which is explained in Chinese. Only by reserving the word link can you read the article, which is more friendly to domestic children.

However, the experience of ABC reading in courseware typesetting design is not very good, because the length of pictures is too small, and the ratio of pictures to fonts is almost half, which is not convenient for children to understand pictures and does not conform to human vision.

The original RAZ has no problem in this respect, and the picture occupies a relatively large space.

In addition, the design and function of the app are also different. ABC reading has added more humanized functions, and children's reading records will be recorded in the column of "My Bookshelf", and the experience is still relatively good.
