Reading Club大洋两岸同一本书
Goal: English reading and oral English practice
Reading Materials: Picture books, chapter novels
Communication: Zoom or Tencent Meeting
Activity Format:
-
✓ One-on-one or one-to-two reading mentorship
- WYC coordinators will pair students based on their levels and create a group chat for each pair
- Reading materials can be selected based on the student's English level
- Volunteers read aloud; students in China follow along
- Reading sessions are 30 or 60 minutes per week
-
✓ Online English Mini-Classroom
- The Online Mini-Classroom is a new volunteer project. Each volunteer (or group of volunteers) who wants to be a "little teacher" can select a picture book or chapter novel to teach (we can also recommend books).
- Each class is 60 minutes. Picture books can be weekly sessions; chapter novels are scheduled based on the book's length (e.g., 6-week or 8-week courses).
Class Procedure:
- Volunteer reads through the text once and poses simple comprehension questions (about time, place, characters, etc. — questions answerable directly from the text)
- Explain key vocabulary in simple English or translate to Chinese; encourage students to use the words in spoken sentences
- Volunteer reads through the text a second time and poses open-ended discussion questions (e.g., "What would you do if you were in the same situation?")
- Students take turns reading aloud, one paragraph each; volunteer helps correct pronunciation
- If time allows, ask students to summarize the chapter they just read
Volunteers Needed for the Online Mini-Classroom:
- ✓ Lead instructor
- ✓ Teaching assistant
- ✓ Technical/background support
- ✓ Video editor
Program Notes:
- The English Reading Program is a free, non-profit activity run by WYC for children in China. WYC does not charge any fees.
- All junior volunteers are WYC members or local elementary/middle/high school students.
- Each reading group has its own chat group. Whether participants add each other privately is a personal choice unrelated to WYC.
- There is a 15–16 hour time difference between Seattle and China. Volunteers are generally available Friday and Saturday evenings Seattle time, which is Saturday and Sunday morning to midday Beijing time. Please plan accordingly.
- If a student is unable to continue for any reason, please notify the WYC coordinator in advance.
- Missing two consecutive sessions (without prior arrangement) will be considered a withdrawal from the program.
- To avoid messaging account issues, participants are encouraged to share an email address as a backup contact.
- All interpretation of program guidelines is at the sole discretion of Wahaha Youth Club.
