Let's start with essential elementary English vocabulary and school grammar.
I can read it by myself without any problems!

Reading by feel? Now's the time to read accurately!

In toddlers and early elementary school children, they mainly read fairy tales and storybooks while imagining things, so it is okay to read English by feeling.
However, if you want to prepare for school exams and the college entrance exam in the upper grades of elementary school, you must get rid of the habit of reading by feeling.
This is because in the exam, you have to read a long passage full of information and knowledge accurately and solve the problems within a given time.
If you want to score high on your English exams, you need to develop reading habits that rely on vocabulary and grammar, not just intuition.
"Busy Elementary English Reading" is a textbook that uses essential elementary English vocabulary and grammar as a stepping stone to reading, helping you develop reading skills that allow you to read accurately even a single sentence.


The first stepping stone to easy reading: vocabulary! Learn it right away, digest it right away!

To read, you must first know English vocabulary.
This book analyzes elementary school English textbooks and contains essential English vocabulary that students must know.
Each unit introduces 10 new key words, and the book is designed so that you can immediately discover the words you just learned in the text on the next page, allowing anyone to start reading without feeling overwhelmed.

The second stepping stone to easier reading: grammar! If you're at a school-level grammar level, you can read sentences!

Knowing grammar will help you read sentences accurately.
The sentences in this book are composed using grammar at the elementary school English textbook level.
Sentences that contain to-infinitives, conditionals, relative pronouns, present perfect, passive voice, etc., which are not covered in the elementary school curriculum, are boldly excluded so that even friends who have only attended school classes can read the sentences.

It is also effective because you can train yourself to immediately grasp the central sentence just by looking at sentence structures such as “You should” and “They can.”

Reading skills develop naturally through interrupted reading!

The habit of reading in Korean word order is a hindrance to improving reading skills.
In English, if you break down the words in a sentence into meaningful units and read them directly, you can interpret them quickly and develop your English comprehension skills.
In this book, you will practice reading and understanding sentences according to English word order through the Chunk corner.
As you become more familiar with the grammatical usage of chunks of words, you will be able to understand more of the sentences.


Fascinating non-fiction texts that draw you in like a magnet.

No matter how good the content is, it has to be interesting to make you want to read it.
This book is full of fascinating stories that will draw you in like a magnet.
Among them, we have selected and included texts on topics related to textbooks, busy Korean reading passages, and background knowledge necessary for school studies so that elementary school upper grades can become familiar with the information and knowledge-rich non-fiction that they will encounter a lot in the future.
Additionally, we have prepared a three-stage problem structure (main content - detailed content - descriptive type) that allows you to understand the text just by solving the problems.
Start reading non-fiction books with more enjoyment with the exciting texts in the "Busy Elementary English Reading" series.

Smart review design that turns your knowledge into your true skills before forgetting occurs.

According to the forgetting theory of Ebbinghaus, a German psychologist, forgetting begins 10 minutes after memorizing a word you just saw, and more than 70% of it disappears after a day.
All learning doesn't happen at once.
Reviewing is essential to developing vocabulary, grammar, and solid reading habits.
This book is designed so that you will review the content you learned previously multiple times without even realizing it.
After you've finished studying this textbook and completed the vocabulary test and dictation, many words and sentences will automatically transfer to your long-term memory, allowing you to remember them for a long time!

Enjoyable reading that starts with essential elementary English vocabulary and school grammar! Develop real reading skills that will prepare you for exams with "Busy Elementary English Reading," which takes two pages a day and is completed in 16 days!
