經典閱讀向來為傳統中國蒙學教育的一環，欲透過經典令童子學習先人的智慧並涵養道德。然而就在一些人致力推廣讀經之際，也有諸如「欲速則不達」、「揠苗助長」、「推擠其他書籍的閱讀」等不同的聲音：本研究即欲探討以讀經為正式課程的教學實施狀況、兒童初習讀經的態度及其成效，藉以澄清或證實上述的質疑。本研究對象為福智教育園區國小部二年級生，透過觀察、訪談及文獻蒐集與分析，呈現實施兒童讀經班級的教師之教學信念，以及學生的學習、閱讀實景，結論並顯示讀經教育可提升他學科的學習。此外並就兒童讀經教育應如何開展等相關議題，提出兒童讀經活動可行之實施策略，以作為未來相關機構辦理讀經方案之參考。

Reading the classics has been an essential part of the children's education in Chinese tradition. They would like children to read the classics and thereby learn the wisdoms from the ancients and cultivate their moral sense. However, while some people have been doing their best to spread this idea, there are also some criticisms on it, such as 'haste brings no success', 'being overenthusiastic will do harm to it', and 'the other necessary readings will be crowded out', etc. The purpose of this study was to explore the elementary school in which the classic-reading was regarded as a core course. We examined (1) the teaching and learning practice and (2) the attitudes of children who are beginners to the classic-reading. The consequences of this educational project and achievements of these children were the living evidence to close this debate. We took the second-year pupils at the Elementary School in Fu Chih Education Park as a case study. Based on observations, interviews, and literature reviews, the ideas of teachers of these classes and the real picture of students' learning activities, we knew that such educational project would facilitate students' learning of other subjects. Besides, the issue of how to develop children's classic-reading education was discussed and we also provided some useful strategies for other institutions which would propose the same project in the future.
