『Elementary 1st Grade Textbook Picture Book Post-Reading Activities』 Item-by-item composition

1.
Post-reading activities: Children can read picture books with their families and enjoy activities that are easy and detailed, while achieving the achievement standards and goals of the subject.
The biggest advantage is that you can immediately print and apply the provided activity sheets, such as word cards, drawing, making, and writing, and that it is designed so that you can easily do various picture book post-reading activities at home, such as art, music, drama, play, and experience linked to the curriculum.

2.
Questions and conversations: 'Factual questions' that ask whether the child has understood the content of the picture book well, 'interpretation questions' that help the child creatively look at and solve problems, and 'application questions' that help the child imagine what he or she would do if he or she were a character in the book and look at the situation from various perspectives. These lead to interest in the picture book and deeper reading.
It provides opportunities for children to understand picture books from various perspectives, communicate with family members, and share thoughts with each other.

3.
Writing: Based on stories divided according to questions at each stage of fact, interpretation, and application, it is structured to end with writing activities that foster integrated thinking skills by expressing children's thoughts in sentences and organizing them visually, such as writing letters, imagining the backstory, writing about daily life, writing poetry, writing to pledge to practice, and writing explanations.
Especially for children who have difficulty writing, we provide opportunities to practice and provide sample activity sheets to refer to.

4.
Note: In addition to the suggested activities, we have carefully provided detailed guidance in the 'Notes' section on extended activities that can be experienced and difficulties that children may encounter during their development.

Characteristics of first grade elementary school children

- I am curious and have many questions about everything.

- Imagination and creative expression skills are developed, so they use their own unique methods of expression.

- The concept of time is vague and I still think self-centeredly.

- They have a short attention span and their interests change frequently, so they cannot focus on one thing for a long time.

- They feel anxious about new environmental changes and tend to rely on adults.
- Acts according to emotions and is sensitive to changes in other people's moods.

- As they begin to form peer groups, they enjoy cooperative and simple play.
- Since this is the period when vision is fully developed, they actively respond to visual stimuli.
- (For the reasons above) I read my favorite picture books over and over again.


Characteristics of the integrated curriculum with the Korean language course in the first year

- It consists of integrated subjects such as spring, summer, fall, and winter based on Korean and mathematics, as well as creative experiential activities.

- The Korean language curriculum consists of listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar, and literature.

- Based on Korean language education that teaches students to read letters, words, and sentences aloud and write them correctly, students are taught to write sentences about their thoughts and feelings about experiences or impressive events.
- I want to develop an interest in reading and writing and an attitude of reading and writing with enjoyment.

- Poems, songs, and stories are used as text as examples for understanding, and text and pictures from picture books are utilized throughout the textbook.
- The integrated curriculum is structured around the major themes of spring, summer, fall, and winter, with ‘school’ in spring, ‘family’ in summer, ‘village’ in fall, and ‘country’ in winter.

- We help children achieve their learning content through play by harmoniously organizing nursery rhymes, traditional nursery rhymes, physical activities that require sweating, and manipulative activities such as drawing and making, according to their developmental stage.
