Naver's No. 1 elementary education cafe, "Super Mom Story"
Supermom Park Hyun-young's English Reading Roadmap, Endorsed by 160,000 Members

Park Hyun-young, who became known as one of the first-generation star English instructors in Korea in the 1990s, worked as a simultaneous interpreter, radio DJ, and foreign language MC.
The term "supermom" became her representative word after she showed off her clever parenting methods on a reality show that enabled her daughter Hyun-jin to speak not only English but also Japanese and Chinese fluently.
Hyunjin is now fluent in seven languages ​​and graduated from Sorbonne University in France.
Based on this successful experience, we opened the Naver Cafe 'Super Mom Story' specializing in multilingual education in 2010 and have maintained the top spot among Naver elementary education cafes ever since.
As an English mentor for mothers in Korea, I have communicated with over 160,000 members and shared the many concerns they raise, accumulating a wealth of case studies and know-how.


This book is a compilation of the know-how and roadmap for reading English books, organized by age, that was the decisive factor in helping my daughter, who speaks seven languages, to speak English fluently.
In particular, the author emphasizes that it is important to read the book first with the mother's voice rather than with an audio machine, and then for the mother and child to read aloud together.

Since I can't provide a customized English reading program that's just right for my child, ultimately, 'home reading' with the mother should be the focus.
Understanding your child's information isn't about where to fit your child, it's about knowing what's right for your child.
The only person who can accurately determine your child's English skills, reading ability, preferences, and weaknesses is you, the mother.
You can find out not only your child's English skills, but also what books your child focuses on, for how long, and at what time of day.
When choosing a book, don't just buy a best-selling English book; you should first understand your child's English reading habits.
Rather than thinking, "This book is famous," you should first think, "Will my child like this English book?"

The most important reason to deliver the message in the mother's voice is to elicit feedback from the child.
Even if it is the native 'butter pronunciation', if it is said in a mechanical voice, the child will get bored, and it is impossible to elicit feedback from the child who is excitedly following along.
But when a mother makes eye contact with her child and reads a book in an interesting way, the child gets excited and starts shaking his body.
What if a voice actor with good pronunciation and voice continuously reads in the same tone? The child might become bored and lose interest after a while.
On the other hand, a mother's voice has the most powerful effect on a child.
It is especially powerful for children aged 1 to 3.
Because the mother's voice, which has been heard through the nerves in the stomach for 10 months, is the first sound in the world that a baby hears and is the sound that can be focused on the most.
It can only be effective if it is delivered in the mother's voice.
When a mother acts in a variety of ways with a familiar voice, the child listens more intently.

If the mother is not a role model, the child will not change.
If the mother keeps her mouth shut, the child also keeps his mouth shut, and if the mother is blunt and only tells the child to dance, the child will also be hesitant and unable to dance.
But if the mother does it, the child does it too.
When mother dances, the child dances too.
If a mother reads with a sense of rhythm, the child will also read with a sense of rhythm, and if the mother enjoys reading, the child will also enjoy reading.
If you train your child to repeat the same words rhythmically, he or she will enjoy following along even if the mother does not scold him or her.
When children are young, you should read English books to them while creating an atmosphere as if they were playing.

The secret weapon that brings out the rhythm is onomatopoeia and mimetic words.
When a child is interested in a picture he or she sees for the first time and listens attentively, the effect is doubled if you read it while mixing in eye-catching body movements or fun onomatopoeia.
At the age of three, children really like repetitive onomatopoeia and mimetic words like 'jurukruk kid cha jurukruk kid cha'.

From "Please read repeatedly to maintain the rhythm"

A true mother's way of reading English books is to constantly involve the child.
If a mother only tells her child to read out loud and keeps her mouth shut, the child's interest will also disappear.
They will just stare blankly, thinking, ‘Why are you asking me to do such difficult and hard things while Mom doesn’t?’
The mother reads the book aloud first, and then tosses the book to the child in between reading, and then practices pronunciation with the child while listening to the pronunciation of a native speaker through a CD.

When children listen to the CD after they have fully understood the content of the book, they will focus more on the native speaker's pronunciation.
During this process, the child automatically corrects his pronunciation.
This is because children are born with the ability to correct their own pronunciation.
However, if you don't understand the contents of the book, there is no use in listening to it for a hundred days.
You can never memorize an English book you read without even knowing its meaning.
How can you remember if you don't know?

These days, the course books for 7-9 year olds that are being released are designed to solve basic vocabulary, phonics, one-line sentences, and frequently appearing sight words through various activities such as coloring, underlining, connecting lines, filling in parentheses, and matching lines, so that children and mothers can solve them easily and enjoyably without feeling burdened.
So I shout out in the lecture hall, “Ecoful! Ecoful!”

Solving the '5-minute coursebook, every day coursebook'.
Because your skills will only improve if you solve the course book for at least 5 minutes every day.
If you rush through the course book only during exam time, you will memorize it in the short term, but it will be volatile and you will forget it quickly.
Kids who are good at playing the piano don't practice just once a week or once a month.
Then, your fingers will become stiff and your pitch will drop, so practice the piano for 20 minutes every day.
Likewise, solving English coursebooks a few times a week will never develop literacy, reading comprehension, or reasoning skills.
Even if you only solve it for 5 minutes every day, your problem-solving skills will improve and your solving speed will increase.
