美國高考SAT是美國大學(xué)理事會(College Board)負責開展的,因此College Board推薦的書單深受家長和學(xué)員的重視。本期我們整理了大學(xué)理事會推薦的101本必讀書目,讀了這些書不僅對孩子準備SAT大有裨益,對AP英文課程也很有好處。
另外,我們還在書目中附上了Lexile閱讀難度分級。Lexile是全美通用的閱讀能力和圖書分級系統(tǒng),有利于幫助家長和學(xué)生有效選擇圖書,循序漸進地提高閱讀能力。在全球教育界受到廣泛認可的學(xué)習(xí)法i+1理論強調(diào)的就是我們應(yīng)該選擇比自己水平(i)高那么一點兒(1)的材料內(nèi)容,這樣既能有所提高,又不至于讓學(xué)習(xí)內(nèi)容跨度過大、晦澀難懂。以Lexile分級為例,如果孩子目前只能勉強讀懂680L級別的《夏洛特的網(wǎng)》(Charlotte’sWeb),那非要去啃990L級別的《雙城記》(ATale of Two Cities)就很能事倍功半,還會挫傷孩子學(xué)習(xí)的積極性。
列一張Lexile根據(jù)年級的閱讀分級表,大家可以先有點兒直觀的認識。

美國大學(xué)理事會推薦的101本書單,多數(shù)適合初中、高中的學(xué)生,家庭可以根據(jù)孩子的閱讀水平來酌情選擇。另外,書單中部分書目因為是由歐洲語言翻譯過來的,英文版本眾多,或因?qū)儆谥惺兰o等較古老的英文,或因只是短篇小說,暫無分級。
