In textbook design, the selection of textbook materials should meet the objectives and requirements of the NCS. Since appropriate teaching materials are essential to curriculum standards and effective teaching, we must follow the consistency between textbook materials and curriculum standards to achieve an ideal degree of conformity with the textbook system and teaching objectives and promote the sustainable development of the English curriculum reform. However, the current primary school English textbooks fall short of the NCS, which leads to difficulties in implementing teaching tasks and achieving teaching goals. Given these difficulties, we should analyze the causes from three dimensions: linguistic knowledge, cultural awareness, and learning strategies. In addition, a high recurrence of phonetic knowledge, systematic grammar presentation, diversified learning styles, level grading, and in-depth involvement of cultural factors are keys to the perfect conformity of the NCS and English textbooks.
