DEAR Program 加拿大国际学校D计划:放下一切 享受阅读

2016年12月16日 加拿大国际教育集团



在加拿大国际学校(CIS),各年级所有学生被跨年级交叉分成多个小组(我们称之为家庭)。从学前班到八年级的学生分成了10组(10个家庭)。跨年级混合分组的目的是让大家加深认识和了解,当学校组织活动时,高年级的学生就可以帮助低年级的学生。




加拿大国际学校正在实施的D计划(DEAR Program),鼓励学生放下一切去享受阅读带来的乐趣。学生们可以自己挑选读本,然后在大家庭里一起阅读。近期CIS一直在户外进行这个活动,因为天气很给力。



实施这个计划的终极目标就是通过一种有意义的方式提升学生的文学素养、阅读兴趣,提高英语学习效率。正如人们所说:一张图片胜过千言万语。



孩子们喜欢在一起阅读,因为他们可以挑选自己喜欢的读本。低年级的学生喜欢听高年级的学生为他们阅读,高年级的学生也有了充当大哥哥大姐姐的责任感。家长们也很支持这个阅读计划,他们看到孩子们爱上了阅读,这对他们理解英语语言大有裨益。老师们看到孩子们享受阅读也倍感欣慰,因为阅读是一项受益终生的重要技能。



DEAR Program: Drop Everything And Read


All of our students are divided into cross graded groups which we call families. This means that we have ten groups of students from Kindergarten to grade 8. The purpose of these groups are that all of our students can get to know each other and when we do activities, older students can help the younger students.



One of the activities that we do together is called DEAR. Drop Everything And Read. Students get to choose their own book and in their families, read together. We have been doing this activity outside because the weather has been very cooperative.



The ultimate purpose of this activity is to promote literacy in a meaningful way to all of our students and increase English proficiency. And as they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words!"



The students love reading together because they get to choose their own books. The younger children love the older children reading to them. They feel they are their big brothers and sisters. The parents love this program because they see their children reading which they know will help with their comprehension of the English language. Teachers love to see children enjoy reading because this is an important lifelong skill.
