为了培养学生们的读书兴趣，创造更好的语言学习环境，“威力塔斯阅读体系”应运而生。该系统引进自美国的定制化英语读写学习解决方案Achieve3000, 通过以 “读前测评”“阅读文章推送”“阅读后持续评估”“阅读奖励计划”四步为核心步骤，帮助学生们养成受益终身的阅读习惯，提高他们的阅读理解和写作能力，从而达到令学生们从被动学习中解脱出来，变为主动学习。

　　Veritas is establishing a Veritas Literacy Program in order to develop the students' interest in reading and to create a better second language learning environment. This program used Achieve3000 as a reference. There are four steps in the program. First is "The Reading Assessment", second is "The Active Reader", third is “Re-Assessment", and the fourth is “Reading Incentives.” These four steps help the students benefit from lifelong reading habits, improve their reading comprehension and writing ability, so as to allow the students to transition from passive learning to active learning.

　　读前评测|The Reading Assessment

　　第一步，此阅读体系的“读前测评”已经在2018年11月29日开始实施，评估结果会在全体学生们测试后公布。“阅读系统”将根据测试分数把学生的阅读能力进行分级，从3-11级不等，提供相对应的解决提高方案，让同学们在阅读中感受快乐，提高兴趣。

　　Step 1: The Reading Assessment

　　The reading assessment is intended to test our students and determine their reading grade level. We test our students on the grade levels that are suggested by our Literacy Department which includes English and Omnibus teachers. Each student reads an interesting and relevant passage, and then the students will answer the comprehension questions that follow. After gathering the data to determine the reading grade level for each student, we will inform the students and their parents.

　　阅读文章推送|The Active Reader

　　第二步：“阅读文章推送”环节是根据学生们测试后的等级，为其提供相对应水平的阅读书单，以便家长与学生共同选择所适合的、感兴趣的书籍展开阅读学习，并完成阅读系统要求的、相应的阅读日记。

　　Step 2: The Active Reader

　　Starting in January 2019, every month each student will be assigned a book which compliments their reading level. Students are advised to read their book during their free time and will create journal entries for each chapter of the book. Twice a month students will have an opportunity to share their journal entries in our school wide morning assembly.

　　阅读后持续评估|Re-Assessment

　　第三步：“阅读后持续评估”是在学生们阅读二个月后开始进行。其目的是为了对学生们的阅读情况进行检测，并计入成绩，以便循序渐进，逐步提高。

　　Step 3: Re-Assessment

　　Midway through the semester, students will be reassessed to check their reading level proficiency. Our school’s goal is to enhance our students’ reading abilities with active reading behaviors. We hope our active readers will elevate their reading skills to their appropriate grade level or higher, which will make them confident readers, great writers and excellent critical thinkers.

　　阅读奖励计划|Reading Incentives

　　第四步：“阅读奖励计划”是为了鼓励并培养学生的阅读兴趣设立的。阅读中心会在每学年末给考核合格的学生们颁发阅读等级证书。“免费电影票”，“主题游乐园”，“免写作业机会”，“给你一本你喜欢的书”等奖励计划同时在学期期间不定期举行。阅读表现突出的学生将有机会入选学校形象大使和优秀学生的资格。

　　Step 4: Reading Incentives

　　A Reading Awards Program is established to motivate students’ interest in reading. The literacy center will issue a Reading Certificate to the qualified students at the end of each academic school year. The program provides rewards such as movie nights, theme park visits, free homework passes and free books. Students with outstanding reading performance will have the opportunity to be selected as the school ambassador.

　　“威力塔斯阅读体系”是学校为学生们量身定制的最新教育培养方式，期望学生们可以通过阅读建立自己的思维方式，培养学习兴趣，最终可以从一个阅读者变为思考者，进而蜕变为佼佼者。正所谓“浮躁的社会,心静者胜出”
