First, the realistic background and significance of the subject.

The purpose of offering English courses in primary schools is to cultivate students' positive feelings in learning English, form a preliminary sense of English language, lay a good foundation for their pronunciation and intonation, and finally enable students to have the initial ability to communicate in the English they have learned. According to the new English curriculum standard, primary school students should at least meet the target requirements of Level 2 before graduation.

In the secondary goal, the requirements for reading are: being able to read simple stories or essays with pictures and develop the habit of reading in groups; Be able to read stories or essays correctly. To achieve this goal, it is inseparable from enough language input. Successful English teaching depends on a lot of language materials and language practice. However, in years of teaching practice, we feel that the time and space for primary school students to contact and use language is limited.

Reading is an important aspect of language learning. Reading teaching plays a very important role in foreign language teaching. It can help students have fun, get information, cultivate students' English reading comprehension ability, cultivate students' good English reading habits, cultivate students' active learning ability and cooperative spirit, and lay the foundation for lifelong learning. Reading is also a good way to consolidate and expand your vocabulary.

However, the current Oxford primary school English textbooks focus on the cultivation of listening and speaking ability, but ignore the training of reading and writing skills to some extent. Therefore, it is necessary to explore and study English reading teaching for primary school students.

Second, the research summary of similar topics at home and abroad.

Throughout the country, the cultivation of primary school students' English reading ability has been paid attention to by everyone, and teachers have made a lot of explorations, especially in the reform of teaching methods, and have made great achievements. Research shows that:

According to the law of language learning, to learn a language successfully, we need to absorb a lot of language materials and language practice. Therefore, in English teaching, only by allowing students to fully read the language, feel the language attentively, and constantly accumulate and use the language can they truly appreciate the unique charm of authentic English and truly master linguistics.

Judging from the learning psychology of primary school students, students with good perceptual thinking, rich plots and many fairy tales are more interested; Close to their own lives-rich prose and dialogue can attract them more. English teaching has changed the traditional rigid state of closed, monotonous and stereotyped textbooks, focused on cultivating students' interest in reading and encouraged students to read after class.

Third, the expected goal and main content of the study.

The expected goal of the study is to consolidate and expand vocabulary, enhance language sense, improve students' reading speed and understanding accuracy, and gradually form their English reading habits and abilities. Help students be good at and willing to understand foreign cultures, expand their practice space, constantly improve their interest in learning English, and promote the improvement of English listening and speaking ability.

The main contents of the study are as follows:

1, study the basis and content of selecting teaching materials.

When choosing reading materials, teachers should consider the difficulty of the language, whether the content conforms to the children's age and interest, and whether it attracts students. At the same time, we should try our best to combine with the theme teaching of Oxford English, pay attention to the collocation of form and content, and gradually cultivate students' reading ability. According to the age characteristics of students of all ages, combined with the textbook Oxford Primary School English, four sets of systematic reading textbooks were compiled.

2. Explore the effective methods of English reading classroom teaching in primary schools.

As a skill training course, reading class focuses on improving students' reading comprehension ability. Teachers should guide students to understand the meaning of sentences and help them combine sound, form and meaning. Therefore, it is very helpful for teachers to adopt targeted methods to cultivate students' reading skills and improve students' understanding ability.

3. The relationship between the improvement of students' English reading ability and the overall development level of English.

Fourth, research principles and main methods.

The principles of this study are as follows:

1, the principle of subjectivity: students' dominant position should be fully reflected and teachers' leading role should be brought into play. In the choice of teaching methods and reading materials, we should give full play to students' enthusiasm and initiative, respect students' individual differences and cultivate students' self-study ability.

2. practical principles: Emphasize the practicality of language, focus on cultivating students' comprehensive ability to use English, expand the input of language, and create a lot of opportunities for students to practice language.

3. The principle of wholeness: pay attention to the organic combination of Oxford English textbooks and reading textbooks, realize the coordination in and out of class, broaden the learning channels, make full use of modern teaching media and technology, and give full play to the overall benefits of teaching.
