PartI:英文分级图书系列
许多欧美知名的出版社出版了英文分级阅读系列和英文故事系列以帮助孩子进行分级阅读。由于不同的出版社有自己不同的分级标准,这样便造成了家长们的困扰:到底这些英文书是什么级别,适合哪一年级和阅读水平的孩子们呢?
由于大部分学校图书馆或者书店基本上按照科目或者类别而不是按照英文图书的级别进行分类。家长和孩子们在借书或买书的时候常常找不到“对”的书,浪费了时间和金钱。所以,我为大家精选了一些非常棒的英文分级阅读系列和英文故事系列。刚好,几个家长反馈“帮孩子走上英语自主阅读之路(二)”中‘英文分级系统转换表’中的书目看不清楚。于是我将这些英文图书系列进一步整理后,放到了下面这个表中,方便家长们一目了然地看到适合自己孩子年级和英文阅读水平的英文系列书,有的放矢地进行借阅和购买。如果在手机中显示效果不好,请大家浏览网页版。
Tips:下表中GL-Grade Level,“GEL”指的是“Grade Equivalent Level年级阅读等同水平”,例如:GEL:2.3,指等同于美国二年级第三个月要求达到的英文阅读水平。"Lexile”-蓝思分值。
