课程介绍

扎实的词汇基础，是提升阅读和写作能力的重要基础。但如果只是单独记忆单词、做词汇练习，学习过程很容易变得单调，也不容易真正理解和运用这些词汇。

本课程将 Wordly Wise 3000 系统词汇学习 与 英文原版小说阅读 相结合，让学生不仅能够学习和积累新词汇，更能够在真实的阅读语境中理解词义、体会用法，并逐步将词汇运用到自己的阅读、表达和写作中。

整个学期，学生将使用 Wordly Wise 3000 Book 5 系统学习学术词汇，包括词义、词汇用法、近义词、语境线索以及词汇之间的关系等，为今后更具挑战性的校内阅读和写作打下扎实基础。

与此同时，学生还将完整阅读并讨论 一本精心挑选的英文原版小说。通过精读、课堂讨论和书面回应，学生不仅理解故事内容，还会逐步学习如何进行更深入的阅读和思考，而不仅仅停留在“故事发生了什么”的层面。

小说阅读部分将帮助学生：

• 抓取重要细节，并根据文本进行推理；
  
• 分析人物、冲突、主题和叙述视角；
  
• 学习引用文本内容来支持自己的观点；
  
• 讨论不同的观点和对文本的不同理解；
  
• 提升文学阅读中的书面表达能力；
  
• 在真实阅读中自然接触并理解更丰富的词汇和表达。
  

通过把 系统词汇学习与真实文学阅读结合起来，学生会逐渐发现，词汇并不只是需要记住的“单词和释义”，而是真正存在于故事、人物、情境和表达中的语言工具。

课程希望帮助学生把学到的词汇真正运用到自己的 阅读、思考、口语表达和写作 中。

小说选择

老师将根据班级学生的阅读水平和兴趣选择一本适合的小说。可能选择的书目包括：

• Number the Stars — Lois Lowry
• Wonder by R. J. Palacio
• Walking Home — Eric Walters
• A Long Walk to Water — Linda Sue Park
• Ungifted — Gordon Korman

课程目标

本课程希望帮助学生在 系统提升词汇量和词汇运用能力 的同时，逐步成长为更有思考力、更自信、也更加独立的英文阅读者。

Course Description

A strong vocabulary is essential for becoming a stronger reader and writer—but learning words from a list alone can quickly become repetitive.

Word Power & Novel Study combines structured vocabulary instruction with the reading of a full-length novel, helping students not only learn new words, but also understand and use language in meaningful contexts.

Throughout the semester, students will work with Wordly Wise 3000 Book 5 to systematically build their academic vocabulary. They will explore word meanings, usage, synonyms, context clues, and word relationships while strengthening the vocabulary skills needed for increasingly challenging school reading.

At the same time, students will read and discuss one carefully selected novel. Through close reading, class discussion, and written responses, students will develop stronger reading comprehension and learn to think beyond the basic plot.

The novel study gives students opportunities to:

• identify important details and make inferences;
• analyze characters, conflicts, themes, and point of view;
• support ideas with evidence from the text;
• discuss different perspectives and interpretations;
• strengthen written responses to literature;
• encounter rich vocabulary naturally through authentic reading.

By connecting vocabulary study with real literature, students begin to see words as more than definitions to memorize. They learn how language works inside a story—and how to use stronger vocabulary in their own reading, thinking, speaking, and writing.

Novel Selection

One novel will be selected based on the reading level and interests of the class. Possible selections include:

• Number the Stars — Lois Lowry
• Wonder by R. J. Palacio
• Walking Home — Eric Walters
• A Long Walk to Water — Linda Sue Park
• Ungifted — Gordon Korman

Course Goal

The goal of this course is to help students build a stronger vocabulary while becoming more thoughtful, confident, and independent readers.
