Leveled Reading Teaching Methods (教学方法)

 

教学方法上,运用美国公立小学流行的Amplify CKLA 阅读教学法,并结合中国文字特点,开创中西结合的C-Amplify CKLA 中文科学阅读教学法


In terms of teaching methods, we utilize the popular Amplify CKLA reading instruction method used in American public schools, and integrate it with the unique characteristics of Chinese characters to create the C-Amplify CKLA Chinese Scientific Reading Method, combining the best of both Western and Chinese approaches

 教材选取上,现阶段整合所有国内编撰的中文分级阅读和国内人教版小学语文教材,启蒙阶段以一亩宝盒,洪恩分级阅读子集为主要学习资源,小羊上山和迪斯尼为辅助资源,中高级引入国内人教版语文教材,根据学生具体情况节选章节。

1-2年后,争取采用自编教材教学。

For the selection of teaching materials, we currently integrate all domestically developed Chinese leveled reading resources and the People's Education Press (PEP) Chinese textbooks used in elementary schools in China. At the introductory stage, the main learning resources include Yi Mu Bao He and Hong En Leveled Reading Subsets, with Little Lamb Climbing the Hill and Disney as supplementary resources. For intermediate and advanced levels, we introduce selected chapters from the PEP Chinese textbooks based on the specific needs of the students.


In 1-2 years, we aim to transition using self-developed teaching materials.

About Us

Xingxing Song (Founder)

Xingxing is the founder of Xing Academy and a former Chinese language teacher in the DC public school system. She holds a Master of Education from the University of Maryland and possesses advanced teaching licenses in world languages (PreK-12th) for both DC and Maryland. With over 10 years of experience, she has taught Chinese language and culture to children ages four to twelve in various settings.

Before moving to the USA, she served as a Center Director for an adult English training company in China, where she also trained employees at a Fortune 500 company for many years.

Becoming a parent enhanced Xingxing's understanding of the need for high-quality language education for children. In the past two years, she found it challenging to locate a good quality language school for her own children and others. This inspired her to start Xing Academy, aiming to develop classes and camps that help children explore the multicultural world through second language learning.

Xingxing lives in Potomac with her husband Jimmy and their twins, Jack and Coco.
