"You can't buy literacy even if you sell your Gangnam house."

The common thread among Daechi-dong's top 1% is their habit of consistently reading the newspaper.

In the age of AI and smartphones, a literacy crisis is becoming a reality as children's brains become accustomed to short, stimulating content.
The sight of a child unable to finish a book, unable to understand long texts, and unable to express his or her thoughts in writing is what parents and teachers fear most.

"The 1% of Children in Daechi-dong Read Paper Newspapers" finds the solution in reading paper newspapers and English news.
A paper newspaper is a 'map of knowledge' that organizes and displays the knowledge that pours in every day, and it is also another book that we read every day.
In the process of gaining a comprehensive overview of politics, economy, society, and culture, children go beyond simply acquiring information and simultaneously develop concentration, thinking skills, and problem-solving abilities.
Paper newspapers retrain the brain muscles weakened by short videos.

Children who go through this process go beyond simply doing well on Korean and English tests; they acquire the ability to think and express themselves like the top 1% globally.
Kim Jeong-min, the director of Daechi-dong W English Academy, is an education expert who has designed the Daechi-dong-style SKY curriculum while teaching the top 1% of students for 25 years.
Shin Chan-ok, head of the science and technology department at Maeil Business Newspaper, is a media expert who, through 23 years of reporting and desk experience, has deeply felt, more than anyone else, that newspapers are the best teaching tool for developing critical thinking and literacy skills.
Drawing on their combined experience in education and journalism, the two authors have compiled in this book the practical literacy skills essential for the AI ​​era.
