为了避免给申请减分,挑对书单、学会阅读很重要。本文给大家整理了美国大学理事会﹙college boar)推荐的美国初、高中学生101本必读书目,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,有利于考生有效选择补充读物,循序渐进地提高阅读能力。我们应该选择比自己水平高那么一点儿的材料内容,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:
