Four Reading Skills
In the "SmartReading - Mandarin Chinese Adaptive Reading" system, children are not just "reading a book"—but engaging in an a fun Chinese reading challenge!
Every reading-related behavior during the mission(e.g., book selection, reading time, task completion, and answer performance) is fully recorded and converted into observable, scientific data!
How does the system evaluate reading progress? The key lies in the Four Reading Skills!
| Reading Perseverance | Daily log-in frequency |
| Reading Execution | Completion of e-book reading and post-reading quiz |
| Reading Diligence | Reading the book before starting the DACC-M test, and scoring A+ in the test. |
| Reading Versatility | The number of books completed on the platform |
During the contest, we will evaluate each child's book selection patterns, reading performance, and completion of assessments. These scores accumulate into individual reading points, which serve as a crucial basis for the competition.
This design allows teachers to clearly grasp students' reading patterns and gives children a greater sense of direction and accomplishment in their reading process.
It's not just about who reads the most, but who reads with focus, quality, and persistance!
