"Young people are the future of the motherland and the hope of the nation. Improving students' language and cultural literacy, comprehensive quality, and cultivating high-quality talents have a great relationship with the quantity and quality of students' reading. At this year's two sessions, Li Yan, a deputy to the National People's Congress, proposed that the government take the lead in establishing a hierarchical reading system for primary and secondary schools.

Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have attached great importance to reading, and reading by the whole people has been written into the government work report many times. The "Development Plan for the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period of reading for all" points out that it is necessary to ensure and promote the reading of children and young people, and cultivate reading interest, reading habits and reading ability from an early age.

Li Yan said that the research of graded reading is a public welfare, the whole society system engineering, manpower and material investment is huge, the government needs to guide, coordinate the relevant fields of departments, institutions, experts for cooperation. It is suggested that the government take the lead in guiding and supporting scientific research institutes, research institutions of major universities, non-governmental research institutions, publishing and reading promotion institutions to participate in research and exploration of the standard system of "graded reading for Chinese children" and accelerate the introduction of the standard system. ”

Li Yan suggested that the state education management department should incorporate reading work into the compulsory curriculum of primary and secondary schools and into the curriculum, realize the internalization of extracurricular reading, arrange time and teachers in class, and guide students to read from shallow to deep, easy before difficult, and step by step. At the same time, it is also recommended that the state include reading in the scope of public cultural services, strengthen government financial investment, include book expenditure in education financial expenditure, and distribute a certain number of reading books free of charge to primary and secondary school students, especially rural primary and secondary school students, every year.

"It is recommended to recommend or distribute required readings, optional reading articles, and excellent subject professional books to teachers every semester to help establish the correct way of reading."
