Post-Reading activities encourage student to reflect upon what they have read. For the information to stay with the students, they need to go beyond simply reading it to using it.
    . answering questions
    . summarizing main ideas
    . drawing conclusions
    . applying the information to a new situation

Once students have done their pre-reading, they are ready to begin reading. To read for information, students need to monitor their understanding in an ongoing manner. They may accomplish this by:

• making notes about concepts/ideas

Reading is a meaning seeking process. Effective readers are active, not passive. They take some time before they begin to read a text to:

• activate prior knowledge

• preview the passage (vocabulary and structure of the text)

• make predictions

Reading skills you might find useful are: skimming, scanning, predicting, understanding the organisation of a text, guessing meanings and identifying a writer's attitude and purpose.

1. Opening Hours

In order to develop a useful collection of library materials for teaching and learning purposes in our school, students and teaching staff are encouraged to submit recommendations for new library books, audiovisual materials and periodicals, preferably before the commencement of summer vacation, by using Library Book Recommendation Forms.  The forms may be obtained from the Circulation Counters or downloaded from HPCCSS Library Homepage.

New books on major study disciplines will be displayed in the New Book Display Area for a period of time before they are returned to the shelves for loan.  Users are encouraged to preview the newest library books available.

The teacher librarian on duty at the information service counter will answer your enquires regarding information search during the library hours.  Enquiries relating to the library services after office hours should be directed to [email protected]

The online catalogue enables you to search the entire Chinese and English collections of HPCCSS library by author, title, subject , call number, keyword, etc.. It shows the locations of particular titles and whether they are in the library or on loan. Meanwhile, you can hold wanted materials if they are not available in the School Library, renew and find out the number of books which have already been checked out.
