“They say reading helps with studying, but I don’t know how to guide my child.” This is a common concern among parents of third-grade elementary school children.
Many children feel that they have less time to read as the workload increases in third grade, or they feel frustrated when faced with the suddenly difficult wall of books.
Mr. Ryu Chang-jin, an elementary school teacher and the operator of Naver's premium content channel "Studying School Again," which is ranked first in humanities and first in non-economics, says that children who read more effectively from the third grade of elementary school also do well in school.
This is because children who learn how to broaden and apply their thinking through various activities while reading books can apply this to their schoolwork as well.

Looking at lists of recommended books like this can be overwhelming, and you might even wonder, "Do I really need to read all of these books?"
But the ultimate goal of reading is to develop your own perspective on the world, not simply to read a lot.
The true value of reading lies in developing your own ideas based on the knowledge you find in books and the thoughts of others, and in developing your critical thinking skills by comparing them with those of others.
Therefore, please think of this list of recommended books not as a "must-read" list, but as a "treasure map" that guides children into the world of reading.

Korean language education experts consider the use of background knowledge and experience to be very important in the reading process.
If a child does not fully understand the content of a book, it may be because they lack sufficient background knowledge and experience.
Of course, the book may not be appropriate for the child's current developmental stage or level of understanding.
Here are four ways to help children who struggle to understand text because they don't have enough context to read.

The five categories of skills that elementary school students should acquire through reading are presented.
A strong mind, a clear subjectivity, a broad background knowledge, active expressiveness, and deep immersion.
All of these are connected to core competencies needed for life beyond reading ability.
For each category, we have set eight reading topics based on keywords that can serve as reading goals, and prepared specific reading activities that fit those topics.
All activities can be applied to a variety of books, so feel free to use them flexibly according to your situation and needs.

SMART goals are a tool that tells you exactly what to do and how to do it in order to achieve your larger goal.
Vague goals are difficult to achieve because they're unclear about how to achieve them. If your child sets a goal of "reading a lot," they should set specific, measurable goals, such as "reading two storybooks aloud every week before bed."
That way, you can achieve your goals.

Role-playing activities that allow children to guess the author's intentions or the character's feelings are often special experiences.
This is because it can broaden your thinking by giving you new perspectives that you might not normally think of.
Of course, not all children will answer well.
There may be children who hesitate before asking a question and then answer, “I don’t know.”
If your child has trouble answering questions, try to figure out why.
That way we can find a solution.

There are two main advantages to reading by connecting the concepts of the subject matter with the content of the book.
First, stories make learning content easy and fun. If you can easily grasp the concepts through engaging stories, you'll naturally grasp them better. Second, they help you understand how fragmented concepts in the curriculum connect with each other in the real world.
Textbooks have the advantage of organizing knowledge systematically, but due to limitations in length, they cannot explain the connections between knowledge in detail.
At this time, basic textbooks for each subject can fill in the gaps.

Reading, the food of the mind, is invisible and can sometimes be difficult to appreciate.
That's why it's important to create and display the results of reading activities.
The purpose of creating reading outcomes is not simply to display achievements.
It is an important process for children to be continuously motivated to read by seeing their own growth.
