Into the book
Even if it's a stiff and old-fashioned Korean English pronunciation, it's okay.
It's okay to read it slowly and carefully, like reading a Korean book.
The listening section of the TOEIC test includes pronunciations from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada.
Exposure to a variety of pronunciations is not ultimately detrimental to a child's listening skills.
Don't worry about your child imitating your pronunciation.
It's extremely rare to find parents who read to their children so consistently and so much, and even faster than that, they'll start imitating native English speakers' pronunciation in English videos.

--- From "How to Read English Picture Books Every Day, Consistently"

It is basic to separate Hangul.
If you try to teach both Korean and English at the same time, you will end up delaying both.
The child gets confused and the parents get tired.
It will be less difficult to start after you can read Korean fluently and no longer have difficulty with the Korean language.
That's the right time.
Just as each child shows interest in Korean and begins learning it at different times, each child also has a different time to learn English phonics.

--- From "The Principles of Completing Phonics Step by Step Like Hangul"

The method I would like to recommend is ORT
This is a method of starting with reading a book aloud once a day and reading it thoroughly at least twice a day.
ORT is a thin book.
It's good because it's thin.
There is no need to think that the book is low-quality or lacking because it is thin, but it is packed full of information.
There's no need to worry about its thinness, as it's packed with the sentence structures and vocabulary you need to learn at the Leader's Book level.
So repetition is important.
If your child doesn't hate it, you can read one book over and over again, or if your child hates repetition, you can choose three books to read every day.

--- From "How to Complete Reading Independence at the Leader's Book Stage"

When the meaning of the word inferred in this way is correct, the child feels a great sense of accomplishment.
This method is very effective for children who have well-formed thinking habits, enjoy thinking, and are tolerant even if they don't understand the meaning right away.
Once you confirm that the meaning of a word you were unsure of is correct, the sense of accomplishment and joy you feel at that moment are added to your memory, and you remember it for a much longer period of time compared to words you memorized by rote.
If you repeat this process, you will end up with more words that stick in your head without having to force yourself to memorize them.

--- From "How to build English vocabulary through reading in English"

For the time being, when you're in a slump, try continuing to read English with the Leaders Book you were reading a year ago.
I feel amazed and proud, thinking, 'I never struggled with such an easy book.'
It's like becoming a frog that doesn't remember being a tadpole.
As I keep running forward, looking ahead toward more difficult, thicker, and more diverse books, I don't have time to realize that my skills are improving.
So, I look back.
Looking back, I feel a sense of accomplishment, look back on the times I've worked hard, and resolve to try harder, even though it's difficult, and I'm able to slowly get out of my slump.

Publisher's Review
A choice that makes your child's 12 years of English study easier!
Whether it's your mom's or your academy's, start by developing a habit of reading English books every day.

Author Eun-kyung Lee, a veteran elementary school teacher with 15 years of experience and currently a best-selling author in the field of child education, trusted by 100,000 parents, has come to visit mothers with many concerns this time with 'Elementary English Study Methods'.
In this book, the author agrees with linguist Stephen Krashen, who says, “The only way to learn a language is to read it.” He guides children through the amazing learning effects that come to them when they build their skills by reading English books, along with a surefire way to become independent readers of English books.

The author, who is also a mother of two elementary school-aged sons, also had deep concerns about English education.
My son had no interest in English and refused to go to an academy, so I couldn't provide him with early education or private education. However, my son started phonics in the second grade of elementary school. By simply 'reading English books every day,' he was able to read a thick English novel on the level of 'Harry Potter' in just four years and achieved a TOEIC score of over 800.
Through this process, the author was able to confirm that if you simply develop the habit of reading English books every day, you can lay the foundation for lifelong English skills even in elementary school.

This book contains all the information the author has researched and experienced in becoming an independent English reader, the criteria and principles he discovered through his research, and the methods for achieving maximum results with minimal cost and time.
If we continue like this, all elementary school children will be able to read English books and improve their level, and build a solid foundation for middle and high school grades and the college entrance exam.

From the alphabet to reading Harry Potter
Step-by-step English reading independent solution

Most mothers start teaching their children English so they don't fall behind others.
However, if you know your child's optimal timing and proceed accordingly, you can eliminate phonics that used to take six months in just one week, and you can significantly improve your child's English reading level with just one book that suits your child's taste and speed without having to try all the recommended books.


From this very perspective, this book explains the entire process of reading English books in four stages so that reading English books, the best way to study English, becomes a habit for children.
Stage 1 is the 'preparatory stage' where the child is first exposed to the English language. The key is reading English picture books, exposing the child to English videos, and completing phonics and sight words.
The second stage is the 'Leader's Book' stage, where children begin to read English books in earnest. It gradually increases the reading level by focusing on ORT textbooks that capture the real lives of children and are fun to read as if listening to a story, even though they are studying.


Stage 3 is the 'chapter book stage', which is designed so that children who have difficulty digesting long-form texts can read in short bursts. It introduces a variety of recommended books based on the child's reading tendencies, such as level, topic, and gender.
The author sets the goal of comfortably reading chapter books as the final goal of the elementary school period, and recommends that when starting the 4th level 'English novel', which becomes considerably thicker and more difficult, the effort be put into finding 'one truly interesting book'.
This period emphasizes that extensive reading is not particularly meaningful, and that you need to have the experience of reading on your own for fun to continue reading English, and suggests smart ways to overcome the difficulties you face in the process of becoming comfortable reading English novels.

The most reliable way to study English is to gain confidence and grades.
Solve all your vocabulary, sentences, and grammar with the 'English Book Reading Habit'

Children who used to have fun practicing English by flipping through flashcards with their group friends are suddenly faced with the situation of having to memorize textbook texts and write in English as middle school students.
To prepare for this, many elementary school mothers have their children memorize vocabulary, solve workbooks, and study grammar from an early age.
However, if you become 'independent in reading English books', you can close the gap between elementary and middle school English learning at once.

Improving your English reading level means expanding your vocabulary in both Korean and English, understanding sentences at the level of the book you're currently reading, and being able to grasp the storyline of the entire book.
If you acquire vocabulary and learn sentence structures through reading, you will no longer need to memorize vocabulary or study grammar separately.
This is because language skills develop naturally through repeated reading, just like learning your native language.


Therefore, if you build your English skills with English books from elementary school, which is the starting point of learning English, you can perfect your English skills as a weapon that will actually be useful in your child's future, from middle and high school studies to college entrance exams, employment, promotions, and even travel.
The process of improving your English skills through English books may seem tedious and inefficient, but that's why it's important to take a broad, long-term view and draw the big picture.

Accelerate your child's English reading independence

Includes key materials to help you develop strong study habits.

Mothers who are trying to start teaching their children English for the first time often get lost in the overflow of information.
The author had the same experience, and it took him over three years to recover from the mistakes he made due to not understanding the steps and principles of English education.
In the author's experience, it doesn't take many books or videos for a child to become independent in reading English books.
My child's English skills grew stronger as he repeatedly read a really interesting book and watched a video.
A mother's role is to help people encounter this kind of life book, this kind of life video.


To this end, the author has systematically compiled only the essential information that mothers must go through to help them save as much time, money, and energy as possible and reach their goals faster.
It provides practical information such as how to choose English books that are just right for your child's level, taste, and speed, recommended books for each stage to attract your child's interest, learning material sites that will make English reading more interesting and rich, online programs that are good to use in parallel during the COVID-19 era, when and how to study additional English such as vocabulary, grammar, and writing, and an analysis of elementary English subjects by grade level. It also advises on the principle of rewards that will give your child a sense of accomplishment, how to overcome a plateau and significantly improve their English reading level, and even mental management methods for mothers to comfort their tired minds.


There is no need for mothers to worry and hesitate because they cannot start early, cannot afford to send their children to an English kindergarten, or lack confidence in their English skills.
The crucial time to be properly exposed to English and build your skills is elementary school, and the important thing is to start now.
Anyone can become the best English coach for their child if they follow this book.
