Non-fiction reading stories in 10 thematic sections

When students advance to high school, they are immediately faced with the vast amount of non-fiction texts in the Korean language section of the College Scholastic Ability Test.
However, since the amount of learning has already increased rapidly, there is not enough time to develop reading comprehension and summary skills.
The ability to read and summarize the main points of a text cannot be developed overnight, so you need to build a solid foundation starting in middle school so that you can quickly understand and organize long texts without wavering in high school.
Therefore, it is wisest to start non-fiction reading and summarization training in advance.

This book is a non-fiction reading and summary training book designed and written by a current Korean language teacher, tailored to middle school students' level.
While experiencing the diverse range of texts covered in the Korean language section of the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), we help students develop their non-fiction reading comprehension skills without pressure through topics selected for middle school students to understand.
A variety of non-fiction texts on ten different topics help students broaden their perspectives on the world beyond simply studying Korean.
It covers a wide range of topics and allows you to enjoy the fun of gaining new knowledge while reading.
Furthermore, it cultivates the ability to grasp meaning without losing focus even in complex texts, and the ability to organize and judge various information on one's own, thereby laying a solid foundation for learning beyond high school.

It doesn't end with reading, but expands by analyzing, thinking, and expressing.
Complete your non-fiction reading comprehension training with step-by-step learning activities.

Beyond simple reading practice, this book has a three-dimensional structure that extends to expanding thinking and expressive skills.
At the end of each topic, systematic activities such as [Analyze], [Think], [Express], and [Expand Reading] are provided to help students go beyond simply reading the text and gain a deeper understanding and active use of the text.
For example, in [Analyze], you find the central sentence of each paragraph and understand the text as a whole.
[Thinking] stimulates critical and creative thinking by connecting the topic of the text with one's own experiences and social context.
[Expressing] develops both expressive and writing skills.
Finally, [Extended Reading] allows students to further explore materials, books, people, events, etc. related to the topic, thereby broadening their background knowledge and sustaining their curiosity.


Through this process, students can naturally develop the ability to read, summarize key points, and expand and organize their thoughts simultaneously.
Furthermore, you will develop the ability to focus on complex and difficult texts, select important parts, organize various information, and reconstruct meaning on your own.
The goal of this book is to foster the ability to express one's own thoughts independently, beyond the reading comprehension skills required for simple academic study.

The ability to read, organize thoughts, and express them confidently is a core competency that goes beyond academic study and is essential for all aspects of life.
Reading comprehension and summarizing skills developed during middle school serve as a solid foundation for high school studies, college, and even social life.
I hope this book will help students not be afraid of writing, but rather understand the world through writing and experience personal growth.
