“There are some good world history books out there, but they are usually too long.
“It’s not easy to get started, and even after reading, there are many cases where the flow is not clear.” (Parent of a 5th grader)

Interest in world history is growing.
World history-related content is increasing in various media, and many parents are interested in preparing their children for the middle school world history exam.
However, world history covers a much broader area than Korean history, so the content is vast.
Books of enormous volume are not easy to read, and even if you do read them with difficulty, they are often difficult to organize.

There are also very short books that allow children to easily access world history.
However, the content is so poor that it is not enough to prepare for middle school world history.
Middle school world history textbooks are one volume long, but they cover a lot of content in a compressed manner, making them difficult to read.

To address these readers' concerns, Mr. Yong established the following principles:
① Let’s boldly reduce the minor details and focus on the core parts to grasp the flow of history.
② When learning world history in middle school, let’s sufficiently reflect the curriculum so that it is not unfamiliar.
③ Let’s lower the barrier to world history by appropriately exposing difficult terms and proper nouns.
④ Let’s increase children’s interest by actively utilizing not only the main text illustrations but also 4-panel comics and comic pages.
⑤ Let’s make the most of the map and create a device that helps with effective reading.

《Mr. Yong's Textbook World History》 is different in the following ways:

* 100% reflection of middle school curriculum
Existing world history textbooks have tables of contents that are not related to the textbook.
Each has its own pros and cons, but neither is very helpful in preparing for middle school world history.
《Mr. Yong's Textbook World History》 100% reflects middle school textbooks, allowing children to become familiar with middle school world history.
After reading "Mr. Yong's Textbook World History," middle school textbooks become much easier.

* Focus on key political events
In order to grasp the major flow of history, political history must be centered on the rise and fall of each country.
If you don't understand the flow of political history, it's difficult to understand when and where this story takes place, or how it connects to the events that precede and follow it, even when reading a book.
This is precisely why I couldn't organize my thoughts even after reading the world history book.
《Mr. Yong's Textbook World History》 extracts only the core of the vast world history and allows you to grasp the main flow.

* Developing a sense of geography through repeated exposure to maps
One of the things that makes world history difficult is that children often don't know where these events took place.
Even if you present a map, if you put too much information on one map, the map becomes cluttered and difficult to read.
《Mr. Yong's Textbook World History》 repeatedly displays 154 maps on each page, allowing students to acquire a sense of geography for each region.

* Organize difficult terms into just the right amount for children.
Terms like 'East Asian culture' and 'fascism' are difficult even for adults, but they always appear in textbooks.
If you explain things at length because the terminology is difficult, children will quickly lose interest.
"Mr. Yong's Textbook World History" summarizes even difficult content to its core, lowering the barrier to studying history.

* Information articles that consider children's questions and answers, in-depth world history, and even Korean history connections.
We've included information about questions children are curious about and answers to them.
We've also added reading material for readers who want more in-depth information, as well as explanations related to Korean history.
The various supplementary manuscripts in "Mr. Yong's Textbook World History" stimulate children's curiosity and lead to further study.

* Interesting illustrations that will stick in your head
Even if the content is good, the key is to convey it in an interesting way to elementary school students.
Teaching history to elementary school students in a fun way is what Mr. Yong does best.
We actively utilized illustrations that capture the essence of the topic and four-panel comics that clearly show the progression of events.
《Mr. Yong's Textbook World History》 is filled with witty illustrations.

* Various devices to help reading non-fiction
"Mr. Yong's Textbook World History" poses questions to children before they begin reading, and summarizes the key content in a single line on each page.
And after you finish reading the book, we even provide world history notes to help you organize the content.
Through this reading process, children can develop good non-fiction reading habits.

* Build solid skills through verification problems
《Mr. Yong's Textbook World History》 summarizes the contents of each chapter at the end and allows students to confirm what they have read through questions.
Having a vague understanding of something versus remembering it clearly as you solve the problem makes a big difference in the outcome.

* Comic pages that stimulate historical interest
After reading one chapter, a comic page follows.
The comic pages also cover historical episodes not covered in the main text, as well as literary works, myths, and legends from the period.
Comics help children become more interested in history.
