得锦囊 暑期阅读 | 亲子必读锦囊
Dear parents and students:
亲爱的家长、同学：
Summer is a good time to rest, relax, and rejuvenate the mind, body, and
spirit for both students and teachers. It is also a good time to get to those
things we did not get a chance to do or finish during a busy school year.
This also includes a good book and some fun reading for pleasure!
对于学生们来说，暑假不仅可以让身心愉悦、放松，更可以让人把繁忙学期里没
机会做的事情重拾起来。找一本好书、享受阅读的快乐，是个不错的选择。
Brain Science and Education Research show that just 10 minutes of reading
a day can help maintain - improve pain function and overall school scores!
With technology we are reading even more than ever, and it is a good idea
to “train your pain” even on a holiday.
脑科学与教育研究表明，每天10分钟的阅读可以帮助维持并提高脑的功能，对孩
子的学业发展大有裨益。在科技的推动下，我们每天读的东西比以前更多了，放假
期间，更是一个“训练大脑”的好机会。
Choose a format you prefer: paper books, eReaders (Kindle), tablets,
laptops, computers, all work. Then find a “good fit” book. Here are some
helpful tips on how to find a book that is just right for you!
纸质书、Kindle、平板电脑、笔记本……，选一个你喜欢的形式进行阅读吧。接
下来，我们还需要挑选一本适合的书。有一些小技巧，在这方面能帮到你。
I P.I.C.K “good fit” books!
“I P.I.C.K”法：
I – I choose a book and look inside.
挑选一本书，翻看内容
P – Purpose. Why do I want to read it?
明确自己读这本书的目的是什么
I – Interest. Does this book genuinely interest me?
问问自己，这本书吸引我吗
C – Comprehend. Do I understand what I am reading?
问问自己，我理解作者要表达的内容吗
K – Know. I know MOST of the words.
确认自己能读懂书中大部分的词语
THEN… use the “Check 5 Finger” Rule to see if the book is at YOUR level:
接下来，用“5个手指选书原则”来确认这本书是否是能够达到自己的阅读水平：
Pick any page of the book that interests you.
挑选你所感兴趣的图书中的任意一页。
Read ONE page, from anywhere in the book.
开始阅读，可以从这一页的任一部分开始读。
Try a sample page online (they are often free when linked to )
如果你在网上（比如亚马逊）买书的时候，有时候会有一些免费的章节，试着读
其中一页。
Keep track of the words that you do NOT know/understand.
记下你不知道或不理解的词。
当一页当中不认识或不理解的词数量为：
0 – 1: Okay. An easy read.
0 – 1:说明你可以轻松完成阅读
2: Just right. A good choice.
2：还可以。
3: A little bit hard, but it could be fun to try.
3：有点困难，但是可以试试。
4: This will be difficult to read, you might need your friends, parents,
or a dictionary.
4：阅读困难，你需要别人的帮助或者找一本词典。
5+: Too hard for now, save it for next year and try a different book.
5个以上：目前恐怕太难，明年再试试，或者重新挑选一本书。
Parents: How can you support reading at home?
父母如何支持孩子在家进行英文阅读？
If you have younger Primary aged child – read along with them! If you do
not read English, have your child read to you! Stop every once and a while
and have them check for understanding by asking them to translate and explain
the story so far to you.
如果你的孩子还是小学生，那么请陪他一起读书吧。如果你不能阅读英文也没关
系，请让孩子读给你听。在读书的过程中，请时不时地停下来，让孩子们翻译、阐
述故事内容给你，这有助于他们真正理解书里讲的是什么。
If you are reading to your child (in Chinese), stop periodically and say,
“Let’s see if we remember what I just read? Think about who the story is
about, and what has happened.” Do this 3 or 4 times throughout the story.
如果你读书（中文的也可以）给孩子听，也时不时地停下来跟孩子说：“还记得
刚才故事讲了什么吗？故事里面都有谁？故事里发生了什么？”这样的暂停，一本
书可以有3-4次。
If your child is reading on their own, do ask them about what they are reading!
Ask your child the following questions:
如果你的孩子独立阅读，那么家长可以问问他们：
Who did you just read about?
故事里面讲的是谁？
What just happened in your book?
刚才的故事里发生什么了？
Do you understand what you read?
可以读懂吗？
What do you do if you don’t remember?
如果记不得之前的情节了你该怎么办？
As parents this is an excellent opportunity to model the behaviour and
habits you wish your child to have, so why not join in and read too? Find
some time to join your child with a book, a snack, and a conversation about
what you are reading too.
对于父母来说，这是一个帮助孩子养成良好行为习惯的绝妙机会，所以加入他们
吧。一本书、一份小食、一次关于书的探讨，可以让你轻松融入孩子的世界。
You could even read the same book and have a family “book club!” My mother
(in Canada), sister (in UK), and I (here in China with my Kindle) are always
exchanging books and sharing our thoughts on them. It is quite a global book
club! Some of my favourite memories are of our Harry Potter midnight premiere
reading marathons (I always won!) and reading scary monster books and
Stephen King novels with my father at our country home in the summer when
I was younger. Now we read the morning newspaper together over coffee and
toast.
家长朋友们，你也可以和孩子一起读同一本书，然后举办一个家庭图书俱乐部。
我的母亲（在加拿大）、我的妹妹（在英国）和我（在中国，喜欢用kindle）三个
人经常交换书籍、分享感受。我们三个跨越大洋彼岸，组成了自己的“图书俱乐
部”。最棒的回忆就是有一次我们几人之间的《哈利·波特》午夜阅读马拉松比赛
（我是冠军）以及小时候在夏季和爸爸呆在乡下，读有关怪物的书和史蒂芬·金的
小说。如今，我们常就着咖啡和吐司，一起读晨报。
Take the time and enjoy the investment you are putting into your child’
s education. Below are just some of the many excellent book titles in both
Chinese and English you may wish to explore this summer with your child.
花些时间在孩子的教育上，请享受你为他所做的付出。在下一篇文章里，我们会
为大家推荐一些适合孩子们暑期阅读的中英文图书。
Many more classic modern titles will be used starting in September 2017
for both the MYP Lipary Book Club (Wednesday evenings) the new DP Lipary
Book Club (Tuesday evenings). All Lipary events, activities, and programs
are free of charge. All that is required is your enthusiasm and excellent
self!
更多经典的、现代的图书题材将在开学后的图书馆俱乐部（初中图书俱乐部、高
中图书俱乐部）里奉送给学生们。所有的图书馆活动、项目都免费开放，欢迎学生
们踊跃参加！
Thank you for your continued support of Reading !
感谢阅读的你们！
Sincerely yours
诚挚问候
