Since 2023, I have implemented an extensive reading program for newly enrolled sixth - graders. A year later, Shanghai began its new curriculum reform. This presentation highlights a personally - devised 10 - Tier Reading System in a Chinese public school, where the students are aged 11 - 12. The system started with the traditional Chinese comic story Journey to the West (Lexile ~ 350L) and advanced to novels such as Frindle. After one year, it has yielded significant outcomes: an average reading volume of 200,000 words per year (with the word count recorded in their reading logs) and a 38% growth in vocabulary knowledge (measured by a vocabulary test app). Combined with ER and the newly-reformed text books, this system has effectively transformed some struggling readers into more confident ones.
