“Middle school students who are good at reading will definitely win!”
Student affairs, essays, career paths, and grades - all in one place!
If you don't start now, it's too late.

The education that is being given importance in middle and high schools across the country these days is ‘literacy’ and ‘reading’ education.
As the importance of interviews, essays, and academic records in admissions to specialized high schools and universities increases, reading books from a subject-specific book list and engaging in post-reading activities have become increasingly important.
"This is how good middle school students read" is a reading aid for middle school students.
Although each child has a different way of reading and a different amount of time to focus, the surprising thing is that even students who once hated reading will start reading with focus after experiencing the joy and effectiveness of reading just once.
'How is this change possible?' If we look into it, it's not that books suddenly become interesting, but rather that we become more intimate with books when our attitude toward them changes.
From now on, let's learn proper reading skills and read not because others tell us to, but because we want to read and choose to read on our own because we need to.
Students who are good at studying also learn how to read.

Let's trust in career expert Wonbae Kim and read this book to the end.
It would be really fun.
Because this book is designed to help middle school students write, speak, and organize their own thoughts.
It is good to use it as if you were writing in a diary or journal.
Also, be sure to refer to the '100 Reading Lists by Subject Recommended by Career Teachers', which will be of great help to your academic performance.

As we enter middle school, the things we enjoy and like tend to become more distinct and personalized.
From then on, your personality may become more evident, and you may be influenced by your peers.
So, reading books at this time has a great influence on the process of perfecting myself.
When you discover things you like or are good at, they can influence your career decisions and grades.
So, reading in middle school is not just the act of 'reading a book', but 'a process of learning about myself' and 'a very special experience of contemplating my own identity'.

To improve your reading skills, first make a plan.
If you originally like books, you may not need to make a plan, but if you are a middle school student who has not yet developed a reading habit, it is important to make a plan and stick to it until the habit is formed.
If you gain the strength to consistently read books every day, you will gain the self-directed power to study, improve your academic records, write essays, practice thinking, and even decide on your career path.
As you accumulate experiences of successfully implementing plans that you can put into practice every day, your confidence will increase and your self-satisfaction will increase.

If there weren't as many subjects as in elementary school, you could catch up by studying hard for a day or two, but starting in middle school, cramming or just diligently solving workbooks will never improve your grades.
Reading a textbook, understanding the principles, and memorizing them requires training to sit and concentrate for long periods of time, and that's not something you can develop overnight.
Do you know what high-achieving students have in common? They have good memory, literacy, and memorization skills.
This isn't an ability that suddenly appears one day.
It is an ability that requires consistent brain training to produce results.
The best way to stimulate and train your brain is to read books.

If you transcribe the book, you can understand the contents more deeply.
Even sentences that I just glanced over with my eyes end up being read again and thought about as I transcribe them.
As I write it down by hand, I am reminded of the sentence.
When I read sentences written down by hand like this, I could easily understand and recall the meaning embedded in the sentences even when I read only the copied parts later.
In fact, if you experience it, you will find that you remember more of a book if you read it by hand and take notes than if you just read it with your eyes.
When you memorize English words or study Chinese characters in school, you memorize them by writing them out over and over again, right? Think of it as the same principle.

After reading a book, it's a good idea to organize it into a mind map.
Mind mapping can be said to be a process of creating a map of thoughts by using both the left and right brain at the same time. As you draw a mind map, the knowledge you already know and the various new information you read are organically connected, developing your thoughts.
