Pudong Campus: Book Recommendations

November 12, 2021

Time flies! We’ve already gone through half of this semester. In the PG classes on November 9th and 11th, students and staff at SHSID Pudong Campus welcomed the highly anticipated book recommendations. We hope it will help students to broaden their horizons on reading and improve their reading abilities.

Books are keys to learning more about the world. On November 9th, teachers from grade one to three recommended some books that first to third-grade students may be interested in. Mr. Lucas from Grade 1 recommended Magic Tree House Series and Dog Man Series. Ms. Deng Yan from Grade 2 suggested Mi Xiaoquan’s Stories in School and Our History. Ms. Yang Cun from Grade 3 recommended Ancient Poems Hidden in the Map and A Huge Monster in the Imperial Palace, which were all related to Chinese culture. Books recommended by other teachers were also exciting and distinctive.

Students from grades 4 and 5 prepared videos to introduce their recommendations to the younger students. Leyla from 4-1 recommended Geronimo Stilton, and from 5-2, Jason is The Genie in the Attic. Andrew, from 4-2, recommended Wings Fire. After the activity, all the students could not wait to read these books.

Books are wings to set you free. On November 11th, 1-2 students from each class in Grades 4 and 5 shared books they liked. From 5-1, Isabella recommended The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and showed how she loved the book. Many students who have read this book also raised their hands to show they strongly agreed with Isabella. Books recommended by other students were also excellent reads.

After that, teachers from Grade 4 and 5 shared some books with students. The types of books varied, from Chinese cultural enlightenment to English fiction. Ms. Pan from Grade 5 recommended Zuo He’s Super Grandma from Yôshichi Shimada. This book tells the moving stories between the author and his grandma, showing the positive attitude he keeps for life. After all the recommendations from teachers and students, everyone wanted to rush to the library for the books.

We hope that students will explore more interesting books to expand their knowledge and vocabulary from these book recommendations. Also, we look forward to seeing that students gain a broader vision, cultivate independent learning abilities, and achieve happiness and success in the future through reading!
