美国整个教育系统对阅读都非常重视,阅读和写作从小学起就是非常重要学习方向。比如美国的中小学从来没有暑假作业。但是老师会鼓励大家在暑期阅读。你可以读任何你想读的书,然后交出阅读感想。有的学生会在一个暑假阅读几十本书。
一般美国中学的英文课要求学生一学期至少阅读10本书,而对于书籍的要求,每个学校会根据不同的培养宗旨也会不同。比如在新泽西州的一个9年级中学生,她的书单里有这样几本书,Lord of Files、Romeo and Juliet、Nights、A Raisin in the Sun、Goodplay、Of mice and Men等。而在布鲁克林一所公立高中上9年级的里昂说,他们这个学期的阅读大概是12本书,多于500页。其中的书目有Taming of the Shrew、The Truancy、 Julius Caesar等等。

另外,美国的教学方法并不单纯看中阅读速度和数量,而是着重构建阅读和思考之间的关系。因此,大家在阅读的时候一定要懂得思考,对书中所说的内容要有自己的理解。一位美国中学生说:阅读就是一种习惯,当读的多了,阅读就变成了一种享受。除了课堂上的阅读,他还经常去公立图书馆找自己喜欢的书目去读。因为教育培养了一种对阅读的热爱。
