Conclusion

Literacy, the foundation of all learning and the power of life

Children of the digital generation, accustomed to video content and short texts, have great difficulty reading long texts, understanding the context, or expressing their thoughts logically.
This decline in literacy is not simply a problem limited to the Korean language subject, but rather undermines the foundation of all academic learning, acting as a major factor in widening the gap in overall learning, ultimately leading to a decline in academic persistence.
Furthermore, this leads to a vicious cycle that has a negative impact on the child's self-confidence and emotional development.

The author, an elementary school teacher with 20 years of experience, has personally experienced these problems in the educational field.
To help children who are discouraged by their lack of understanding reconnect with their studies, friends, and the world, we researched easy, fun, and effective literacy teaching methods.
After experimenting with various methods to improve literacy skills in the classroom and at home, the author has compiled into one book a literacy study method that anyone can follow at home and is proven to be effective.

Developing your study skills through 10 minutes a day, using all five senses

This book presents a method to improve literacy skills at home by investing just 10 minutes a day, according to the child's developmental stage, from lower elementary school to upper elementary school.
The core solution proposed by the author, an elementary school teacher with 20 years of experience, is five-sense literacy.
Sensory literacy is the ability to hear with your ears, speak with your mouth, read with your eyes, write with your hands, and feel and connect with your heart.
By utilizing all five senses equally, language comprehension, thinking skills, and emotional stability are developed evenly.

Children naturally expand their causal thinking and logical expression skills through their ears and mouths in everyday conversations with their parents.
Also, based on observation, it develops the ability of the eyes (reading) and hands (writing) and forms the habit of reading properly and expressing accurately.
The heart is a key element in developing empathy, the ability to express emotions in words and understand oneself and others.
When children can express their feelings verbally, they develop the ability to empathize with others.
This soon expands to literacy, which allows one to grasp the deep meaning (context) hidden in text, helping to naturally connect the world and language.

1.
Ear (listening): The beginning of literacy and the root of understanding.
Through a warm word from a parent or repeated reading, a child learns the emotions and intentions contained in words.
Additionally, listening to stories can help you develop the ability to create an infinite world of imagination in your head.
2.
Mouth (speaking): The power to logically expand thoughts.
Through everyday communication, such as conversations around the dinner table, children practice expressing their thoughts and feelings in words.
When your mind is at ease, words follow naturally, which in turn leads to the ability to organize complex thoughts.
3.
Eye (Reading): A reading strategy based on observation.
A child who sees the world well is also good at reading.
This is a strategy to increase learning efficiency by developing a 'reading mind' that goes beyond simply reading letters and understands the hidden links (connecting words) between sentences and the skeleton (structure) of the text.
4.
Hand (writing): The process of concretizing and completing thoughts.
Writing is the process of bringing complex thoughts from your head to your fingertips, concretizing them, and organizing them.
You can develop the habit of starting with one sentence and vividly expressing what you observed.
5.
Mind (Emotion): The ultimate root and completion of literacy.
‘Emotional literacy’ is the final link between all the skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
When you can healthily recognize and express your own emotions, you can accurately understand the emotions of others and the emotional context of texts.
This will help the child develop a strong emotional foundation for a happy life.

This book explains various literacy study methods tailored to the developmental stages of lower and upper elementary school students.
For lower elementary school students (grades 1-3), we focus on listening (ears) and speaking (mouth) to help expand language skills.
Increase vocabulary and listening comprehension of written structures through everyday sounds and parental conversations, and improve thinking and expressive skills through dinner table conversations.
The key is to strengthen listening and speaking skills through play-based activities so that younger children can develop literacy skills in a fun way.
Upper elementary school students (grades 4-6) can improve their reading (eye) and writing (hand) skills by learning to identify sentence elements, understand the structure of text, summarize key points, and practice writing.

The core philosophy of this book is that warm, emotional communication with parents is the foundation of language development.
For parents who don't know how to lead a conversation with their children, we provide specific conversation examples.
Warm conversations with parents play an important role in helping children kill two birds with one stone: emotional stability and improved literacy.
This book is a friendly guide that helps you develop a true study mind based on healthy emotions.
