Into the book
Most parents invest heavily in their children's English education.
To help children achieve their dreams in the future by ensuring that English becomes a stepping stone to success, not an obstacle.
However, parents' enthusiasm and effort alone are not enough to successfully lead their children's English education.
Just as you can reach your desired destination by walking in the right direction rather than blindly and diligently, parents must also have a long-term perspective on English education to ensure that their efforts for their children are not in vain.

As a scholar specializing in children's language acquisition and English education, the author has written this book based on his accumulated academic knowledge, empirical knowledge gained from interviewing numerous students who successfully learned English and entered college, and practical experience as a parent of two children who have sent their children to college, to provide parents with the best possible guidance on how to wisely guide their children's English education.
We present ReaStening: Reading + Listening, an integrated English reading method that can help you reach English proficiency from elementary school level to college entrance exam level.

--- From the "Prologue"

If you read parenting books, they advise parents to raise their children with firm convictions and philosophy, without being swayed by their surroundings.
However, new parents who have not majored in English education and are new to raising their children are bound to feel unsure and anxious.
Moreover, the urgency of not allowing any trial and error in the process of raising children, once it has begun, cannot be reversed, increases anxiety.

Although we know that the reading and listening method is the most effective way to learn English in our country, some parents may be concerned about English education in middle and high school.
Bottom line is, if your child has reached the level of reading English chapter books, middle school exams are not a problem at all.
This is because children who learn English from English books know the structure of English, that is, grammar, better than children who learn English focusing on grammar.
However, just like native speakers, they do not have the explicit grammar knowledge necessary to verbalize the grammar knowledge they have in their heads.

--- From "Epilogue"

Publisher's Review
"A common sentiment among mothers: not wanting their children to be held back by English."
If you go to an early childhood education fair where you can see educational products for infants and toddlers at a glance, you can often see enthusiastic mothers bringing their newborns to browse the products.
Most people think, "I don't want my child to be held back by English like I was. I don't want them to have to approach English through learning like I did." So, they save money for themselves but invest a lot of money, from 1 million to 6 million won, in their children's English education.
Although the number of single-child households is increasing, people are still investing a lot of money in private education for their children, hoping to raise them well while carefully cutting back on other expenses.

Children who are forced into private academies, contrary to their mothers' original intentions.
For a mother who struggles with English, homeschooling in English is a challenge.
In the end, we end up entrusting our children's English education to private tutoring. However, these tutoring academies teach grammar, phonics, listening, and other areas under the guise of a systematic curriculum, and they deceive mothers by using difficult American-style textbooks that do not match the child's cognitive level.
I hope my child doesn't learn English in a boring way like I did, and that he or she will use one language as a tool to see the world in a variety of ways. Contrary to my initial hope, my child often ends up hating English.

"What children truly need in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is content-based English skills."
The purpose of children learning English is neither to prepare for exams nor for everyday English.
With the development of translation machines, everyday English can be replaced to some extent by translation machines.
Nowadays, creativity and the development of unique content based on convergent thinking are more important than a university diploma.
To develop your own content, you need to navigate the vast ocean of knowledge information, like Google, YouTube, and global online education platforms, to find what you need and then develop your own unique content based on that information.
To do this, you need content English skills to discover the content you need and understand it.
Without English content skills, you will be left behind as a secondary consumer of knowledge information, having to wait for someone else to translate it.

"An effective way to improve your English content skills is through reading and listening to English books."
The best way to improve your English content skills is to read English books.
You should improve your vocabulary and reading comprehension by reading English books.
At this time, the author suggests the reading and listening learning method, which is an all-in-one learning method that involves not only reading but also listening to audio.
If you do this consistently, you can cover the English section of the CSAT, but many mothers only scold their children for reading books when preparing for the CSAT.
However, the solid foundation of English skills developed from elementary school will serve as a cornerstone for not only education through high school, but also for developing your child's own unique content and realizing their dreams.
