In the context of cultural inheritance and curriculum reform in the new era, the teaching of thematic group reading based on revolutionary classics in primary schools reveals unique values. It helps build a system for the inheritance of revolutionary culture, enhances students' critical thinking and value judgment, and reinforces the humanistic nature of Chinese education. However, current teaching practice faces three key challenges: insufficient teacher professional development and teaching strategies, an imbalance in students' cognitive engagement, and a lack of coordination between school curricula and support systems. To overcome these challenges, the proposed solutions include integrating revolutionary texts into teacher development programs, optimizing students' cognitive learning models, and promoting the development of school curricula.
