At YCIS Beijing, we foster a community of learners who recognise the importance of critical thinking, language proficiency, cultural awareness, and forward-thinking perspectives. Reading is an excellent way to develop these qualities through cognitive, emotional, and personal growth. We would like to showcase how we cultivate a love for reading among our students through participation in inter-school reading competitions such as Battle of the Books (BOB), school-wide reading challenges, welcoming library spaces, and the extended YCYW reading programmes. Please keep reading and learn more!

How do you describe our library spaces?
您如何描述我们的图书馆？
"Our libraries are welcoming spaces for all students, whether they think of themselves as avid readers or not. If students visit the library for studying, relaxing, playing games like chess, or drawing, they might also find a book that appeals to them and give it a try."

How do we foster a love for reading in Primary?
我们如何培养小学生的阅读兴趣？
"We continuously offer reading challenges to our Primary students to encourage them to read for at least 15 minutes per day. These challenges are designed to be fun and engaging and offer a variety of activities related to reading. For example, last summer, we had a sailing and explorer-themed challenge, which included reading books from different genres like fantasy, adventure, or nonfiction. During the winter holidays, we provided a colouring-in sheet where students could colour winter-themed images after reading for 15 minutes in fun ways, like wearing their winter scarf or hat or building a reading fort with pillows and blankets. Our spring-related reading challenge is coming up soon! Students can participate in these challenges by reading in English, Chinese, or their home languages."

“我们不断向小学生推出阅读挑战，鼓励他们每天至少阅读 15 分钟。这些挑战充满趣味性和吸引力，并包含各种与阅读相关的活动。例如，去年夏天，我们开展了以航海和探险家为主题的阅读挑战，包括阅读幻想、探险或非虚构类文本等不同类型的书籍。寒假期间，我们提供了一张涂色表，让学生在阅读 15 分钟后，以有趣的方式为冬季主题的图片涂色，比如戴上冬季围巾或帽子，或者用枕头和毯子搭建一个阅读堡垒。我们的春季阅读挑战即将到来！欢迎同学们用英语、中文或自己的母语参与到这些阅读挑战中。”

How do we enhance a reading culture in Secondary?
如何培养中学生的阅读习惯？
“We have steadily expanded and enlarged the Secondary Library with many new English and Chinese books. We build our reading culture by displaying these new books and encouraging students to try new stories and genres. We are also improving our nonfiction collection for students who enjoy reading about facts and information, especially science, history, sports and well-being. We also continuously seek student and teacher book recommendations to display in the library. We also offer various CCAs in Secondary that encourage and involve reading, such as BOB and the TedxTalks.”

Reading Competition
耀中耀华创意回应阅读大赛
In addition to our campus’ diverse reading programmes and challenges, the YCYW network also offers exciting opportunities for our students to share their literary and creative expressions. The “YCYW Creative Response to Reading” competition just kicked off. This artistic challenge is a cross-curricular activity to promote literacy and arts among our student body. Primary students in Years 1 to 6 are encouraged to create artistic responses to a text from the “YCYW Suggested Book Lists” or respond to a text of their own choosing. We are excited to witness the boundless creativity of our students as they pour their hearts into their written, visual, or dramatic reflections. We are eager to showcase their exceptional work and inspire our community to gain unique perspectives from our young artists and literary enthusiasts – and to continue reading!
