“Children who write neatly and speak coherently read differently!”
A mother's secret to raising a competitive child: reading.

Ages 6-13: A period of explosive growth in vocabulary.
Develop lifelong study habits through 'Read-Write-Speak'!

When children start elementary school, parents' minds become busy.
Even mothers who insisted that "playing is the best thing for children" until their children started kindergarten begin to take a keen interest in education around this time.
Not only do they teach students in advance what they will learn in elementary school, but they also get excited about preparing for English debate competitions and math competitions.
But does reading the Harry Potter books fluently or solving addition and subtraction problems quickly make a child a top student? Indeed, many children who attend English kindergartens struggle to understand the curriculum after entering school.


This is a natural result since I received English immersion education while learning Korean.
The recently published book, "Our Child's Reading, Writing, and Speaking," is a book that reminds parents of the importance of 'Korean language skills' that they are often overlooking.
The author, a current announcer and mother of two, interviewed numerous education experts and writers to compile the know-how of Korean language education in which 'reading, writing, and speaking' interact like a Möbius strip.

How can we develop our children's reading, writing, and speaking skills? Should we send them to a renowned reading and writing academy right now? Of course, that could be an option.
But parents can be our children's personalized teachers more than anyone else.
It is because parents know their children's tendencies well and spend the most time with them.
Of course, there are difficulties involved.
Because it is something that needs to be done consistently with the child every day.
But if you think about it, it's not that difficult.
As little as 10 minutes a day is enough.

--- From 'Prologue'

Many parents who have just started their children in school are amazed when they open their children's textbooks.
This is because the difficulty level has increased significantly compared to our generation.
Even in Korean, it is the same.
First of all, the amount of fingerprints is not small.
To put it a bit exaggeratedly, it is very reminiscent of the language section of the CSAT.
If I think back to my elementary school days when we learned “Goodbye Baduk” and “Goodbye Cheolsu,” it’s like a world of difference.
Therefore, in order to properly study elementary school Korean these days, the ability to read long texts at once and understand the content, or 'Korean language skills', is essential.
Math is no different.
Nowadays, mathematics has the characteristics of descriptive and sentence-type.
You've probably heard a lot about the so-called thinking mathematics.
Originally, thinking mathematics was a learning method that emerged with the purpose of making learning more fun by understanding the principles of mathematics.
Rather than simply plugging numbers into a formula and getting an answer, we emphasize the 'solution process', which explains how the answer was derived.

There is no reason to pay to learn 'reading, writing, and speaking'.
Even if it's not this one, there are many subjects that require money.
The first reason why it is difficult to expect the effects of 'reading, writing, and speaking' through private education is the frequency of classes.
Because it is difficult to expect results with just one or two hours once a week.
Second, ‘reading, writing, and speaking’ are the foundation of learning, so they must be done under the child’s leadership.
If children are forced to read books selected by their teachers and answer questions, child-directed learning will become increasingly difficult.
“Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach him to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.” This is a famous saying from the Talmud.
To help children develop the habit of reading, writing, and speaking on their own, consistent training at home is much more effective than private education.

The complete collection is a book planned under the leadership of a publisher.
Therefore, there is a risk that the quality of the book may be somewhat lower than that of individually planned books.
Also, it is difficult to carefully examine each one before purchasing.
If you give your child too many books at once, you may put pressure on them to read all of those books.
Therefore, if your child is not yet interested in books, I recommend starting with single books rather than a complete collection.
Even if you buy just one book, if you and your child look at it together and choose it carefully, there is a high possibility that you will read it over and over again for a long time.
--- From 'Books, even purchasing requires clear standards'

For children under 12 years of age, it is better to read aloud rather than silently.
It's also good for parents to read books to their children.
This is why parents should read aloud to their children even if they know Korean.
If it is difficult to read all the books your child reads, we recommend that you read at least one book a day.
Of course, it is not easy to keep this from the beginning.
But if you repeat it every day, it becomes a kind of habit and there will come a day when you feel more awkward if you don't read it.
Of course, to achieve that, you will need to practice consistently and repeatedly for a certain period of time.
There is no achievement without effort.
Dieting, abstinence from alcohol, and quitting smoking can all be achieved through consistent training.
However, the difference is that reading education is not for myself, but for my child.
Please remember that reading education is ultimately a joint effort between children and parents.
