內容簡介
經過近兩年的籌劃與實施,這套依據現行美國中國小教學大綱"共同核心標準"(Common Core State Standards) 而編寫的英語閱讀訓練讀本終於問世了!《跟美國學生同步練閱讀:Smart Reading》這套書是繼《美國語文》《英國語文》等經典教材之後,專門為國內準備留學的中小學生定製的全英文學習輔導讀本。對其他英語學習者,亦可適用。
《跟美國學生同步練閱讀:Smart Reading》按年級分冊,全套書共8冊,從教學標準與英語難度來講,完全對應現行美國國小1~8 年級。這套新讀本,將為中國學生評估自己的語言能力與知識水平提供一個較好的參照標準,為他們將來出國續讀全面打好基礎。
每一分冊均為65 課,其中包括52 篇閱讀文章和13 課複習訓練。適合學生制定一周一課的學習計畫。考慮到記憶的遺忘規律,每4 課之後,專門編寫了一次複習訓練課,讓學生翻閱和回想所學內容,幫助他們更好地記憶英文辭彙、掌握用法。願"西方原版教材與經典讀物"系列圖書對準備出國留學,以及正在學習英語的讀者有所幫助!我們期待著傾聽每一位讀者的聲音!
About the Common Core
The Common Core is a set of high quality academic standards in mathematics and English language arts (ELA).
In 2009 the state school chiefs and governors that comprise CCSSO and the NGA Center coordinated a state-led effort to develop the Common Core State Standards. Designed through collaboration among teachers, school chiefs, administrators, and other experts, the standards provide a clear and consistent framework for educators.
The standards were created to ensure that all students graduate from high school with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in college, career, and life, regardless of where they live. The standards define the knowledge and skills students should gain throughout their K-12 education in order to graduate high school prepared to succeed in entry-level careers, introductory academic college courses, and workforce training programs.
Forty-two states, the District of Columbia, four territories, have voluntarily adopted and are moving forward with the Common Core.
