In regards to the obstacles in teaching and studying extensive reading inelementary schools, the goals of the 2018 Literature National Curriculum as well as theacknowledgment of the role of emotional intelligence development for students in life, it isnecessary to conduct a discussion in terms of theories about emotional intelligence and asurvey of extensive reading education in elementary schools. In practice, elementary schoolstudents have been receiving extensive reading (previously as supplementary reading andnow as a requirement in the output standards of the 2018 Literature National Curriculum).However, apart from the master's thesis of author Le Thi Hang [1] which is considered anopening thesis for building reading materials to develop emotional intelligence in elementaryschools, there have been no studies on building and exploiting extensive reading materials todevelop emotional intelligence for elementary school students in specific gradesexplicitly and systematically. Based on multiple studied theories, we have established anextensive reading corpus system to develop emotional intelligence for 5th-grade students.In regards to the obstacles in teaching and studying extensive reading inelementary schools, the goals of the 2018 Literature National Curriculum as well as theacknowledgment of the role of emotional intelligence development for students in life, it isnecessary to conduct a discussion in terms of theories about emotional intelligence and asurvey of extensive reading education in elementary schools.
