Abstract: This study undertakes a systematic exploration of integrated multi-text reading—specifically the co-reading of classical Chinese poetry/prose and modern texts—within a competency-oriented pedagogical framework. By critically examining textbook design, instructional methodologies, and the current state of students’ reading competencies, the paper delineates the core objectives of such co-reading practices, particularly in fostering linguistic proficiency, cognitive development, and cultural identity formation. Drawing upon classroom-based practices, the study advances a set of optimization strategies, including principled text selection, thematic integration across genres and historical periods, the adoption of diversified instructional approaches, and the refinement of assessment systems. These strategies are further substantiated through illustrative cases that demonstrate feasible pathways for implementation. Ultimately, the research seeks to provide actionable pedagogical models for primary and secondary Chinese language education, thereby facilitating the effective enactment of multi-text reading in competency cultivation.
