What comes out:
No one cares about it, but the most important thing is independence in studying.
Only parents can make it

To achieve the goal of 'study independence', where children take responsibility for their own studies,
These skills are absolutely necessary in elementary school!

Elementary education in the past tended to focus only on accumulating children's 'knowledge' and their 'attitude' toward learning.
This book preaches the importance of all the “basic skills” of “studying” that are necessary even as an adult, and is full of useful tips that can be easily applied while teaching children at home to develop “a study mindset, concentration, memory, literacy, and self-directedness.”
This is the bible for 'study independence' that parents should read first, practice with their children, and ultimately pass on to their children.

◆ The second installment of a fantastic collaboration between experts in learning, entrance exams, English, and math education!

This book is the second installment of a fantastic collaboration between two learning mentors, Teacher Joo Dan and Director Kwon Tae-hyung of [Gyojiphap Studio], a practical education YouTube channel for parents in Korea, and has returned as a practical secret book just as much as their previous work, Elementary Korean, English, Math Literacy.
I hope that the two experts will help children develop these five key study skills, which are truly essential but have never been properly taught, one by one.

[Contents of this book]

Part 1.
Studying independently, what on earth is it that makes it the number one thing to do in elementary school?

We will examine the reasons why our children wanted to study well but were unable to do so, and examine the real reasons why independent study is necessary and why it should be done.
This part also provides a kind explanation of how parents should begin and continue to guide their children to achieve such important 'study independence', while also feeling empathy, pity, and hope through the stories of the two students.

Part 2.
5 Study Independence Skills That Turn Ordinary Children into Geniuses: Chapter 1.
study mindset

The first ability to achieve independence in study is the will to study.
The first step to building knowledge and developing good study habits is to look back on children's 'emotions'.
We will examine, through detailed examples, why children easily give up, become frustrated, and struggle with studying, and introduce the role of parents in stimulating children's 'desire to study' and ways to build self-esteem in studying.
Those who have been unable to find a clear standard for how to educate and discipline their children and what is educationally correct will be able to establish that standard.

Part 2.
5 Study Independence Skills That Turn Ordinary Children into Geniuses: Chapter 2.
concentration

Everyone has the ability to concentrate, but not many people are able to utilize that concentration for studying.
We're introducing some sweet tips for parents who wish their children would just focus, as well as those who are wondering how to help their children study more effectively.
From creating a plan to boost your focus to eliminating distractions, reading this will leave you feeling inspired to put it into practice today.

Part 2.
5 Study Independence Skills That Turn Ordinary Children into Geniuses: Chapter 3.
memory

If you've ever thought memory was something you were born with, you should first abandon that preconception! This section introduces various methods for developing memory to utilize it for learning.
At the learning planning stage, the memory learning know-how acquired through the practical process will make children's studies much easier and more effective.
You can look forward to it!

Part 2.
5 Study Independence Skills That Turn Ordinary Children into Geniuses: Chapter 4.
literacy

This book kindly explains literacy, which affects not only Korean but all subjects, but which our children are infinitely lacking in, in a practical way that can be applied to the curriculum, rather than in a simple way such as "make them read."
In particular, the know-how to improve English and math literacy, which is a strength of both of you, is so powerful that it can immediately change your child's grades, so let's actively introduce it to your children's reading and writing training!

Part 2.
5 Study Independence Skills That Turn Ordinary Children into Geniuses: Chapter 5.
self-direction

We introduce 'self-directed learning', which should be reinforced as a finishing touch for children who are on the verge of 'completing independent learning' by developing a study mindset, concentration, memory, and literacy skills and confidently taking charge of their own studies.
By gaining insight from the examples of top-tier students already self-directed and learning the effective five-step self-directed learning process contained in this book, your child will be able to confidently declare "study independence."
This part is also a part that strongly contains the know-how of the two people's 'study methods' that they have taught and preached to elementary, middle, and high school children for a long time.
