最近zuì jìn的de一yī个gè中国Zhōng guó教育jiào yù论坛lùn tán上shàng有yǒu报告bào gào显示xiǎn shì,近jìn七成qī chéng中小学生zhōng xiǎo xué shēng每měi天tiān阅读yuè dú时间shí jiān低dī于yú一yī个gè小时xiǎo shí。

这些zhè xiē受访者shòu fǎng zhě中zhōng,大约dà yuē有yǒu89.4%的de人rén对duì阅读yuè dú有yǒu兴趣xìng qù,79.4%的de人rén喜欢xǐ huan写作xiě zuò,81.8%的de人rén表示biǎo shì有yǒu丰富fēng fù的de资源zī yuán可以kě yǐ阅读yuè dú,69.4%的de人rén会huì经常jīng cháng买mǎi书shū。

但是dàn shì,这些zhè xiē受访者shòu fǎng zhě的de阅读yuè dú时间shí jiān却què令lìng人rén担忧dān yōu。

大约dà yuē19.6%的de人rén每měi天tiān阅读yuè dú时间shí jiān不足bù zú半bàn个gè小时xiǎo shí,50%的de人rén每měi天tiān阅读yuè dú时间shí jiān不bù到dào一yī个gè小时xiǎo shí,而且ér qiě随着suí zhe年龄nián líng的de提升tí shēng,每měi天tiān阅读yuè dú时间shí jiān不足bù zú一yī个gè小时xiǎo shí的de学生xué shēng明显míng xiǎn增多zēng duō。

所以suǒ yǐ对于duì yú中小学生zhōng xiǎo xué shēng来说lái shuō,兴趣xìng qù不是bù shì问题wèn tí,阅读yuè dú资源zī yuán也yě不是bù shì问题wèn tí,时间shí jiān才cái是shì问题wèn tí。

专家zhuān jiā建议jiàn yì,要yào提升tí shēng中小学生zhōng xiǎo xué shēng的de读dú写xiě能力néng lì,首先shǒu xiān要yào保证bǎo zhèng学生xué shēng有yǒu足够zú gòu的de读dú写xiě时间shí jiān,同时tóng shí要yào对duì读dú写xiě方法fāng fǎ进行jìn xíng系统xì tǒng研究yán jiū和hé有效yǒu xiào教学jiào xué,给gěi学生xué shēng更gèng细致xì zhì的de分级fēn jí教学jiào xué。
