Unit 4 Reading 课件 2025-2026学年译林版九年级（2012）英语上册

该初中英语课件围绕“Growing up”主题，以Spud Webb的成长故事为核心，通过“Never give up”主线串联阅读、理解与表达训练。课堂导入用球星身高对比（Jordan、Kobe 1.98m，Yao Ming 2.26m）设疑“170cm能否进NBA”，引出Spud Webb，形成悬念式学习支架，衔接后续按时间顺序（初中到毕业后）的分段阅读。 其亮点在于融合语言能力与思维品质培养。阅读设计分层任务：分段细节题（True/False、填空）、词汇匹配（stand-n.看台等）、对话补全（Simon与David的对话），训练语言理解与表达；“Further thinking”提问“成长的意义”“追求梦想的行动”，引导分析评价。资料提供结构化支架（分阶段梳理Spud坚持经历），学生在语言实践中提升思维与学习能力，教师可直接用于课堂，高效落实核心素养。
