Against the realistic backdrop, this study systematically analyzes effective strategies for breaking the cocoon to enhance adolescents' reading literacy under the influence of the information cocoon effect. From a multi-dimensional perspective, it examines the impact of information screening mechanisms on adolescents' cognitive development by analyzing school reading education across three stages—basic education, secondary education and higher education—and the teaching philosophy of Yuedu Academy, a local brand dedicated to fostering reading literacy for children aged 3 to 14 and their families. Combined with interviews with teachers, students and parents, this research focuses on facilitating the paradigm shift of adolescents' reading mode from algorithm dependence to independent screening, and endeavors to construct a cross-stage three-dimensional reading model of "heart in, eyes on, mouth out". It aims to provide an operable strategic reference system for the progressive development of adolescents' reading ability in the digital age.
