 美国高考SAT是美国大学理事会(College Board)负责开展的,因此College Board推荐的书单深受家长和学员的重视。本期我们整理了大学理事会推荐的101本必读书目,读了这些书不仅对孩子准备SAT大有裨益,对AP英文课程也很有好处。
另外,我们还在书目中附上了Lexile阅读难度分级。Lexile是全美最通用的阅读能力和图书分级系统,有利于帮助家长和学生有效选择图书,循序渐进地提高阅读能力。在全球教育界受到广泛认可的学习法i+1理论强调的就是我们应该选择比自己水平(i)高那么一点儿(1)的材料内容,这样既能有所提高,又不至于让学习内容跨度过大、晦涩难懂。以Lexile分级为例,如果孩子目前只能勉强读懂680L级别的《夏洛特的网》(Charlotte’sWeb),那非要去啃990L级别的《双城记》(ATale of Two Cities)就很能事倍功半,还会挫伤孩子学习的积极性。
列一张Lexile根据年级的阅读分级表,大家可以先有点儿直观的认识。

美国大学理事会推荐的101本书单,多数适合初中、高中的学生,家庭可以根据孩子的阅读水平来酌情选择。另外,书单中部分书目因为是由欧洲语言翻译过来的,英文版本众多,或因属于中世纪等较古老的英文,或因只是短篇小说,暂无分级。
