著名的門薩俱樂部(Mensa Club)曾經(jīng)發(fā)起了“門薩兒童卓越閱讀項(xiàng)目(Mensa for Kids Excellence in Reading Program)”,為青少年們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)了為期一年的閱讀挑戰(zhàn)計(jì)劃。家長(zhǎng)或老師可以幫助孩子進(jìn)行記錄,當(dāng)完成整個(gè)書單的閱讀量并把原始記錄文件寄給門薩基金會(huì),孩子就能獲得一份由門薩基金會(huì)提供的紀(jì)念證書及寫著“卓越閱讀(Excellence in Reading)”的定制T恤衫。
門薩是世界上規(guī)模最大和歷史最悠久的高智商組織,于 1946 年成立于英國(guó)牛津,創(chuàng)始人是 律師羅蘭德· 貝里爾和科學(xué)家兼律師蘭斯· 韋林。加入門薩只有一個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn),就是智商。申請(qǐng)者要經(jīng)過智商測(cè)試,被認(rèn)為是當(dāng)?shù)厝丝谥兄巧糖?% 的才會(huì)被招募入會(huì)。根據(jù)門薩官網(wǎng)披露的數(shù)字,目前該俱樂部擁有來自100 個(gè)國(guó)家的12 萬會(huì)員。
門薩對(duì)會(huì)員智商的高標(biāo)準(zhǔn),使得他對(duì)卓越兒童建議的書單格外有分量。這份書單一共分為4個(gè)年齡組:K-3年級(jí),4-6年級(jí),7-8年級(jí),9-12年級(jí)。由于書單較長(zhǎng),我將分兩次介紹。這次先介紹兩組低年齡段,并且只選擇其中最廣為人知、最膾炙人口的部分圖書進(jìn)行詳細(xì)介紹,之后會(huì)附上完整書單,供大家參考。
