The purpose of creating a class book corner is to create reading conditions and atmosphere for students, so that students can be exposed to a strong book, thus generating a desire to read. It is best to set up a book corner in the back corner of the classroom, with a simple bookcase or bookshelf with some green plants such as asparagus and chlorophytum on it, posting some famous sayings and aphorisms about books and reading on the wall, designing a column to recommend excellent books and exchange experiences, and posting and replacing wonderful articles and students' excellent books and reading experiences regularly. The books in the corner of the book should be rich and varied, readable and can arouse students' interest in reading. Books are mainly donated by teachers and students, and can also be purchased by students through fund-raising, or the old magazines changed by the school reading room. There is a good way to buy it at a second-hand bookstall, which is cheap and has a wide choice. The management of the book corner should be standardized, and several students with strong sense of responsibility should be selected as administrators, responsible for registering all the book numbers and sorting them neatly. They are usually responsible for the placement of books and the environmental sanitation of the book corner, ensuring that the window of the book corner is clean, fresh and elegant and attractive to students, so that students like to come to this corner, browse the excellent works recommendation column and experience exchange column, or randomly pull out a book to read. In addition, a borrowing register should be set up so that students can borrow and return it freely at any time. Books in the book corner must be updated regularly to ensure the freshness and readability of books, and exchanging books between classes is a good method, which is simple and easy to operate, realizes resource sharing and improves the use value of books.

Second, offer a variety of reading classes.

Offering reading class is of great significance for strengthening reading guidance, realizing teachers' leading role and promoting the exchange of reading experience among students. We can offer American literature appreciation class, classic recommendation class, free reading class, reading communication class and so on.

American literature appreciation class is mainly for teachers and students to appreciate American literature together, preferably once a week. The articles to be rewarded should be newspapers, magazines, essays or classic essays that are both literary and aesthetic. Articles can be printed and distributed to students before class, or read aloud by teachers or students in class, and then teachers organize and guide students to appreciate them. The appreciation of American literature is different from the general teaching of modern literature reading. The key lies in finding the right beauty, avoiding covering everything, and paying special attention to students' complacency since enlightenment. The beauty of American literature lies in language, emotion, artistic conception, philosophy and atmosphere. Teachers should organize students to speak freely in one or two aspects after students grasp the main idea of the article as a whole, and give guidance on the basis of students' feelings, sum up appreciation methods, sublimate ideological understanding and strengthen emotional experience, which is of great significance to improve students' reading ability and cultivate students' emotional attitude and values.

The classic recommendation course is mainly to recommend Chinese and foreign classic works to students, and two or three works are recommended in two or three classes each semester. In addition to the famous books recommended in textbooks, we can also recommend some classic works suitable for students to read, guide students to read expensive books and promote their spiritual growth. Professor Zhu Yongxin pointed out in the new educational concept: "A person's reading history is a person's spiritual growth history." We must not limit ourselves to letting students read newspapers and magazines, that is, eating fast food. It is also necessary to introduce students into classic reading, that is, to bring students to the feast of Manchu-Han banquet and let them have a full meal. In the classic recommendation class, students' desire and interest in reading the original book are stimulated by introducing the synopsis of the story, telling the fate of the characters and enjoying the wonderful fragments, so as to promote students to read the whole book after class. In the reading of the whole book, the students' gains will be very extensive and rich, his personality will be improved day by day in a lot of reading, and his spirit will grow gradually in a lot of reading.

The course of free reading mainly allows students to choose their own reading materials and read freely and heartily by virtue of their personal interests. We can take students to the reading room to read books, or let students choose books to read in class before class. In the free reading class, the teacher must not chatter, and it is best not to say anything, and read quietly with a book. In this way, there is no noise, no interference, no problem, everyone is deeply immersed in the text alone, let the mind talk with the text, let the thoughts communicate with the author, fully enjoy different situations and fully feel the fun of free reading. If conditions permit, you can also play soft and soothing light music to create a relaxed and happy mood and make the free reading class a particularly pleasant and desirable moment.

Reading communication class focuses on communication and sharing. There are various forms of communication, such as reading each other's reading notes and cards, reading their own reading experience, or recommending excellent works of American literature to classmates; It can be intra-group communication, inter-group communication, class-wide communication, and even inter-class communication. Through communication, students can get more reading information, share each other's reading experience, feel the sense of accomplishment of being concerned by others, and stimulate their reading enthusiasm.

Third, strengthen process guidance and cultivate good reading habits.

Many students lack good reading habits, they just pursue a sense of satisfaction. Instead of books, he prefers martial arts, urban romance, youth idols and comics, and is not interested in classic books and high-end magazines; Read without seeking, without thinking, and get nothing after reading. In view of this phenomenon, it is necessary for teachers to guide students in the whole reading process. On the one hand, we should guide students to choose good books and articles that are pleasing to the eye and inspiring; on the other hand, we should teach students to make reading cards, literary manuscripts and reading notes, so that students can develop the habit of reading and writing, learn to sort out and classify reading information, and learn to accumulate, taste, think and feel in reading. Make a standard card for reading cards, so that students can summarize, sort out and classify the articles they have read. To guide students to make literary manuscripts, we need to give guidance from the aspects of registration, column design, material selection, typesetting, copying, layout decoration and beautification. It is necessary to pay more attention to guiding students to take reading notes. We know that when reading an article, students can grasp the content and theme of the article as a whole, accumulate a few words, appreciate a few sentences, evaluate a character, talk about their own reading experience, and even do imitation exercises, so that reading will be deeper and the gains from reading will naturally increase greatly. Here, we will use the methods that students usually learn in class to appreciate sentences, evaluate characters, imitate sentences, talk about feelings and gains, and also train students' thinking ability and language expression ability. It is best for teachers to help students design a basic model, which should cover the above contents, so that students can take reading notes according to this model when reading articles. This fill-in-the-blank note-taking method is relatively fixed and seemingly rigid, but in fact it has great autonomy. I have designed such a reading note mode, which is easy to operate and especially popular with students. The mode is as follows:

Title:

Author:

Source:

Reading time:

Content summary:

Word accumulation:

Appreciation of excerpts from good sentences;

Imitate a beautiful sentence:

Character evaluation:

Reading comprehension:

By taking notes, students gradually develop good reading habits, so that even if they don't take notes when reading, they will accumulate, taste, think and feel according to this idea.

Fourth, take a multi-pronged approach to constantly stimulate and strengthen students' interest in reading.

Carrying out extracurricular reading is a long-term process, and its effect cannot be immediate, so students are prone to burnout. This requires the supervision and encouragement of teachers. It is very necessary to check students' reading notes regularly, understand students' reading situation, and give students corresponding comments in the form of writing comments on students' reading notes, so as to communicate and encourage students. In addition, rich competition activities are carried out to mobilize students' reading enthusiasm by using their competitive psychology, so that their reading interest is stimulated and continuously strengthened. Such as: reading notes evaluation, excellent reading card evaluation, literary manuscript evaluation, composition competition, reading competition and so on. Carrying out various exchange activities is also conducive to improving students' reading interest. For example, the exchange of reading experience, the display of excellent reading notes, excellent reading cards, excellent literary manuscripts, excellent writing exercises and so on. In communication and sharing, students will naturally have a sense of accomplishment, envy and catching up, and then generate and maintain a strong interest in reading. In addition, we can also organize students to set up class journals and school journals, so that students can experience the happiness of self-growth and development brought by reading while publishing and contributing, and then be more willing and fond of reading. In short, all the activities are for a common purpose-to stimulate, strengthen and maintain students' strong interest in reading, to turn "I want to read" into "I want to read", and to lead students to a happy reading path step by step.
