[2] Specific capacity requirements

* Requirements at the primary education level

- Language skills

Read correctly, fluently, and expressively; understand the main content of the text, primarily explicit content; initially understand implicit content such as themes and lessons learned from the text.

In primary grades, reading requirements consist of both reading technique and comprehension skills. For students in the early grades (grades 1 and 2), focus on reading correctly at a suitable speed and understanding the simple content of the text.

For grades 3, 4 and 5, students must emphasize more on understanding specific content, grasping themes, and lessons learned from the text.

From grades 1 and 3, students must write correctly in terms of spelling, vocabulary, grammar; write some sentences and short paragraphs; in 4th and 5th grades, begin to write complete short essays, primarily narratives, descriptions, and simple introductions.

Write texts recounting stories read, events witnessed, participated in, and stories imagined by students; describe familiar objects and phenomena; introduce objects and activities close to students' lives.

Write paragraphs expressing students' feelings and thoughts when reading a story or poem, witnessing an event that evokes emotions; provide views on simple issues in study and life; write some types of texts like self-introduction, messages, invitations, schedules, applications, ...; initially know writing procedures; texts need to have three parts (introduction, body, conclusion).

Convey ideas and emotions clearly; initially know how to use appropriate gestures and expressions when speaking; retell a story read or heard clearly; share and exchange feelings, attitudes, and thoughts on discussed issues; know how to explain a subject or simple process.

Listen and understand with an appropriate attitude and grasp the basic content; recognize the speaker’s emotions; know how to respond to what has been heard.

- Literature skills

Differentiate between narrative and poetry texts (prose sections and verse sections); recognize the content of texts and the writer’s attitude and emotions; initially understand the effects of some formal elements of literary texts (language, characters, plot, rhyme, comparisons, personifications).

Know how to imagine, associate, and express literarily in writing and speaking.

For grades 1 and 2, students must understand what or whom the text is about; recognize characters in stories and rhymes in poems; distinguish between stories and poems.

For grades 3, 4 and 5, students must know how to read literary texts expressively; retell and summarize the main content of a story or poem; comment on characters, events, and the writer’s attitude and emotions in the text; recognize time and place, some types of rhyme, rhythm, beautiful and unique words, images, and the effects of rhetorical devices like personification and comparison.

Understand the meaning or lessons derived from the text. Write paragraphs and essays that tell stories and describe, expressing emotions and imagination.

Based on the above regulations, the specific requirements for literature skills for grade 5 students include writing essays that narrate stories, expressing emotions and imagination.

Therefore, after completing the grade 5 Vietnamese language program, students must be able to write essays that narrate stories, expressing emotions and imagination.

What texts are suggested for selection in the teaching material for grade 5 Vietnamese language in Vietnam?

Based on Section IX of the Appendix of the Literature Education Program promulgated with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, the suggested selection of texts for grade 5 Vietnamese language teaching material is as follows:

- Based on the text selection criteria (stated in Section V) and the text selection requirements (stated in Section VIII), the program constructs a list of texts (materials) suggested for selection in each grade.

This list of texts is not all the materials for each grade but only examples illustrating genre, type of text, and topics suitable for students' cognition and psychology; aiming to meet the reading, writing, speaking, and listening goals for each grade.

For convenience and flexibility in selecting materials, the texts are grouped by grade levels: grades 1, 2, and 3; grades 4 and 5; grades 6 and 7; grades 8 and 9; grades 10, 11, and 12 (Text titles for all grades are arranged alphabetically).

Textbook authors can use this list to select and find additional equivalent texts in terms of genre and difficulty to compile, as long as they meet the criteria (stated in Section V) and the text selection requirements (stated in Section VIII).

- The texts (materials) suggested in this list are arranged by type and genre (stories, poems, plays, memoirs, essays, information).

The number of texts in each type and genre varies depending on the program's needs.

The list includes new texts and those already or currently used in existing textbooks (reallocated appropriately to meet the grade requirements), ensuring a balance between inheritance and innovation. For informational texts, the list does not specify exact titles but only topics and types for textbook authors to choose accordingly.

Authors listed appear only once throughout all three education levels unless there are specific compulsory texts mentioned in the program.

To guide textbook authors in selecting suitable texts for each grade, the list outlines distribution for compulsory works.
