English Reading occupies a large proportion in the entrance examination. The English Curriculum Standards emphases that English teaching should be oriented to all students.

And then may even lead to the decline of some students' English reading learning autonomy, and the students will gradually lose confidence and enthusiasm. As a result, the teachers are supposed to seek a teaching method that can take students’ differences into consideration. Under the stratified teaching approach, students are divided into different levels based on their learning competence and learning potentials. Then teachers set appropriate teaching objectives, questions, tasks and after-school homework depending on learning abilities of students at different levels.
