However, in the information age, fast-food-style reading, superficial reading, and fragmented reading have become the norm for many students. Such cursory reading is detrimental to cultivating students’ holistic awareness, failing to expand their reading horizons or help them build experience in reading whole books. In contrast, whole-book reading is crucial for grasping the essence of classic works. The key to whole-book reading lies in making students willing to read, enjoy reading, and delve deeply into the text. Teachers can facilitate the smooth progress of whole-book reading by delivering excellent introduction classes, conducting appreciation sessions, carefully designing tasks, and organizing guided inquiry and exchange activities. Only when students find joy in reading can core competencies be truly realized.
