Description
Book Introduction
A book strongly recommended by Teacher Eun-kyung Lee of [Smart Elementary Life]! The secret to elementary literacy leading to academic success lies in observation! South Korean children are currently living in an era of literacy crisis. Amidst the platitudes among parents that reading is the only way to improve their children's literacy, a book has been published offering a new perspective: that the secret to improving literacy lies in "observation." This book, strongly recommended by Eun-kyung Lee, a teacher of [Smart Elementary Life], is the one and only book that provides a magical solution to parents who lose sleep every night watching their children's literacy skills not improve as much as they hoped. "Observation Class" analyzes and explains that the cause of children's lack of literacy lies in "observation" and provides clear guidance on how to improve children's observation skills. In addition, it goes beyond explaining learning methods and allows children to experience the process of improving their observation skills through solving observation problems on their own. With just one copy of 『Observation Class』, you no longer have to worry about your child's literacy. |

Into the book
If you train your child to develop 'observation skills', his or her grades will change dramatically.
This is because visual information accounts for 80 percent of the information humans receive.
In other words, a child's grades are greatly influenced by how he or she perceives and interprets what he or she sees.
--- p.7
Having taught Korean for nearly 11 years, I have observed the differences between children whose Korean language skills are improving and those whose skills are not.
As a result, we discovered a common 'reading habit' among children whose skills did not improve.
Afterwards, I focused on improving my 'observation skills' to correct this reading habit, and as a result, I achieved amazing results that are not easily seen elsewhere.
---From the "Prologue"
Children who are not good at Korean or who cannot understand descriptive math problems do not pay close attention to each letter when reading sentences.
Just as we only check the position of the hands on a clock face when we want to know the time without looking at the entire face, there are more children than you might think who read a sentence by roughly selecting only the words they need to understand.
--- p.19
More than you might think, there are few children like this student who can say "I don't know" and ask questions about things they don't know.
Most people are shy or uninterested, so they don't ask questions and just listen to the story, pretending to understand even if they don't know the vocabulary or situation.
It seems like every class is the same: the more knowledge a child has, the more questions they ask, while the less knowledgeable a child is, the more passively they listen quietly.
If you let quiet children who don't know but seem to know move on to reading on their own, they will become a reserve force of 'three reading habits.'
If you 'read alone' without knowing the meaning of the sentences even though you can read the letters, reading will naturally become less and less fun.
In that case, at this stage, since you have never experienced a state of knowing meaning, you do not even know that you cannot read the book.
--- p.54
Even in a painting drawn on a flat canvas like this, the truth cannot be seen unless one changes one's perspective.
If you don't look at the world from different perspectives, you won't be able to discover interesting things or important facts.
A single picture can teach children the importance of 'broadening their perspective' far more effectively than any amount of nagging from adults.
Children who experience this perspective-shifting training come to realize that not everything they first see or think is true.
Let's repeat the experience of observation and reflection that allows us to change our perspective and discover different aspects, and help us understand that there is more than one truth.
--- p.123
The question to consider here is: is this child's inability to understand the folktale simply due to a vocabulary issue? If so, providing them with a dictionary and instilling in them the habit of looking it up would solve the problem.
But I think that the reason many children these days cannot understand fairy tales, comics, animations, or even textbooks is not simply a matter of lack of vocabulary.
So what exactly has caused children's reading comprehension to deteriorate to such a degree? The root cause lies in their inability to understand what they can't see.
This is because visual information accounts for 80 percent of the information humans receive.
In other words, a child's grades are greatly influenced by how he or she perceives and interprets what he or she sees.

Publisher's Review
Turn on your observation switch and you will see literacy!
A realistic observational training method that proceeds through multi-faceted observation training!
In "Observation Skills Class," we analyze your child's literacy level and provide training along with educational methods that can improve observation skills according to each type.
Children improve their observation skills by observing familiar objects, such as coins, that they can easily come across around them, as well as works by famous artists like Picasso, and solving and revising problems.
For example, you can ask a child to carefully observe Vincent van Gogh's [Bedroom in Arles] and then write about the bedroom in the painting.
Parents review whether the child has observed the objects listed in the bedroom in detail, and then have the child write a piece in which he or she infers what kind of person the room's owner might be.
You can have a long conversation with your child so that he or she can infer Van Gogh from the clothes and color combinations hanging in the room.
Even children who initially had no idea what to observe will find their field of vision broadening as they continue to train.
Here, we introduce step-by-step training methods that can be applied depending on the type of incorrect reading habits of the child.
In fact, the children who went through this training with the author first began to see a noticeable improvement in their Korean language scores.
They went from the bottom to the upper middle class in just one month, or they got first place in Korean and became interested in studying, and their grades in other subjects also improved sequentially.
Elementary school students who struggled with simple literacy entered private middle schools known for their difficult entrance exams and naturally got into Japan's top three prestigious universities. In the 2021 entrance exam, they recorded a 100% acceptance rate in the comprehensive selection for national university medical schools.
With the power of observation, a rapid rise in grades is no longer a dream.
Why does my child have difficulty with literacy?
Observation is the easiest and most fundamental skill for mastering literacy!
It's not easy being a parent these days.
While we need to let our children experience as much of the world as possible, we also need to make progress faster than other children in the ever-increasing sea of private education, and compete with AI to learn and memorize as much as possible.
But in this overheated race for speed, it's difficult for parents to know where their children are standing or if they're wandering around.
It must have been quite a shock to parents to learn that their child, who was working hard, couldn't even read the questions on the test properly.
The book "Observation Class" has been published, which will put a brake on the current overheated atmosphere and truly instill hope.
Based on the argument that literacy begins with 'observation', the causes of children's incorrect reading habits are first analyzed.
Regardless of the type, the common denominator is a lack of observational skills, and the book explains in detail how to develop observational skills in response to this, and presents various problems for students to solve so that they can train themselves.
It also details five tips on how to improve and apply your child's educational process and daily life to help them achieve optimal literacy skills.
While conducting observation training, we encourage children to have many conversations about the subject of observation and stimulate their interest so that they can enjoy the entire process as if it were play.
Through this, children will enjoy observing the world, realize the mystery of the world around them, and ignite their 'intellectual curiosity'.
And ultimately, let's conquer literacy.
