The Power of Interactive Reading


Chinese Story Reading: The Benefits of Interactive Read


In our private Chinese reading classes, whether one-on-one or in private small groups (2-6 students), each 50-minute online or 60-90 minute in person lesson is designed to be engaging and fun. We do more than just read stories; we include interactive worksheets and class games that make learning enjoyable. This way, students become active participants in their own learning journey.


As we read together and share stories, the excitement grows when we start the word recognition challenge. Students light up with joy as they eagerly tackle these fun, educational activities. It’s in these moments that the true value of interactive reading comes to life.


What does a reading class include?



1. Chinese Story Reading Session

  • Begin the class by reading a short story or books in Chinese that is suitable for the students' level.

  • Focus on pronunciation and intonation to help them understand the natural flow of the language.

  • Encourage the students to read along or take turns reading parts of the story to build their confidence.


2. Vocabulary and Language Skills

  • Highlight new words and phrases from the story.

  • Discuss the meaning of these words in context and practice their pronunciation.

  • Encourage students to use the new vocabulary in sentences to reinforce their learning.


3. Comprehension QA

  • Ask questions about the story to test the students' understanding.

  • Include both direct questions (about facts in the story) and open-ended questions (to encourage critical thinking and interpretation).

  • Allow the students to discuss their answers with the class to deepen their comprehension skills.


4. Interactive Discussion

  • Lead a group discussion about the story’s theme, characters, and plot.

  • Encourage students to share their opinions and thoughts, helping them to express themselves in Chinese.

  • Use guided questions to keep the discussion focused and engaging.


5. Interactive Games

  • Introduce fun activities like matching words to their meanings, crossword puzzles, or sentence-building games that relate to the story.

  • These games will make learning more enjoyable and help reinforce vocabulary and comprehension skills.


6. Word Memory Games

  • End the class with a word memory game to help students remember the new vocabulary they learned.

  • Games like flashcard challenges or “Guess the Word” , “Word Hunt” will help them practice and solidify their knowledge in a fun way.






This structured approach will make your Chinese reading class engaging and interactive, helping students to improve their language skills while enjoying the process of learning.



In conclusion, interactive reading activities have a powerful impact on learning. By combining traditional teaching with fun, modern techniques, we help create a generation of students who are not just skilled readers but also passionate about exploring books. As we continue to focus on interactive learning, remember that every journey starts with just one page turned. That first page leads to a brighter, more knowledgeable future.
