“What if I don’t feel like I’ve read anything even after reading it, and I can’t concentrate for more than 10 minutes?”
The problem is lack of literacy!
The One Practical Book That Will Improve Adult Literacy

It's hard to read even if it's more than five lines.
I don't remember what I just read in the previous chapter.
I don't even want to open thick humanities and philosophy books.
When I speak or write, I can't think of the right words.
It's difficult to express your thoughts clearly.
If all this sounds like your story and makes you feel sick, the problem is lack of literacy.
In an age where we consume more short texts on our smartphones than on paper, and are swept up in provocative video content and a plethora of information, literacy is declining not only among children but also among adults.
Kim Seon-yeong, who has been writing for educational programs for 13 years and is currently working as a writing and reading coach, has been paying attention to the issue of adult literacy from an early age.


The author, who was giving assignments to members of a writing group, encountered an unexpected problem.
I started seeing more and more people who write well but write nonsensical articles that don't fit the topic.
Because I didn't properly grasp the context of the assignment! It was similar when I was in a reading group.
When we chose books in the humanities and history fields, rather than soft essays or novels, as topics for discussion, we received feedback expressing concerns such as, “The book is too difficult,” and “I don’t really understand what it’s saying.”
The cause was lack of literacy.


If your literacy skills are low, it takes you longer than others to read and understand text, so you often experience inconveniences, big and small, in your daily life.
Moreover, since I cannot internalize useful information, my level of thinking and writing is no longer high.
But there is good news.
Just as exercise develops muscles, adult literacy can also be improved through training.
The writing coach who successfully developed readers' writing skills with his previous work, "If I Could Write One Sentence Well, I Would Have Everything," is back with "Literacy Training"! "Adult Literacy" offers powerful training to upgrade your literacy skills in just eight weeks.
If you have any concerns about reading, writing, or speaking, from minor inconveniences in daily life to work-related tasks, sign up for a literacy PT right now.

“Invest in your literacy just three times a week.”
Develop vocabulary, reading, and writing skills step by step
3-in-1 package '3-times-a-week training'

The literacy discussed in this book includes 'the ability to read and understand text, as well as the ability to reconstruct and utilize what you have understood in your own way.'
Therefore, the literacy training of the writing coach aims to develop both writing and reading skills.
First, in Chapter 1 (the first week), you will find out your literacy level and do some warm-up exercises.
Chapters 2-4 (weeks 2-7) suggest 18 training methods to develop the three muscles that make up literacy: the vocabulary muscle that forms the foundation of literacy, the reading muscle that allows you to read long texts with context, and the composition muscle that allows you to recreate what you read in your own way.
Training is structured three times a week to reduce the burden and secure review time.
Additional PT assignments are provided for each training session to allow readers to practice further.
This PT consists of 2-3 basic problems, and the difficulty is divided by weight (number of dumbbells) so that you can try them at a level that suits you. The author provides sensible model answers or examples, so you can follow along sufficiently.
Efficient training is possible by providing note pages that can be written directly according to the problem.


The last five chapters (eighth week) contain a literacy fitness section.
By measuring each muscle mass, you can realize what you are lacking and continue training even after completing the course.
Train your vocabulary muscles by finding the perfect word to fit a sentence like playing Tetris and guessing the meaning of unfamiliar words.
Change your reading habits by using methods such as predicting the content of a book and writing down your feelings before reading.
Finally, you will develop the ability to organize the various information obtained from the text systematically and effectively convey your message.


With this book, you will become a "skilled reader" rather than just a "good writer" with heavy-duty literacy skills.
I highly recommend "Adult Literacy" to anyone whose life is inconvenient due to poor literacy skills, such as office workers who take longer than others to write proposals, drafts, and emails, students preparing for certification exams whose vocabulary is so limited that they cannot even understand the questions, college students and job seekers who have difficulty writing self-introductions and reports, and smartphone addicts who can only read three-line summaries of text.


“Now I can understand everything just by skimming through it.”
Accurately grasping the main point and expressing my thoughts in my own words
8-week 'Literacy Upgrade Training'

While the author focused on developing writing skills in his previous work, this book has added depth to its content and structure to simultaneously develop reading skills.
We use sentences from best-selling and steady-selling books covering various fields, such as 『Tools of Titans』 and 『The Selfish Gene』, for training.
As you develop your literacy skills, you can also enjoy the pleasure of reading fluent and proven sentences.
In this way, 『Adult Literacy』 has further broadened the scope of understanding from writing to reading based on high-quality and abundant text.
This is the one book that will definitely develop your literacy skills to read properly and write like an adult.


Lay the foundation with vocabulary and build the pillars with reading skills.
A cozy literacy home is completed by adding a roof that can withstand heavy rain.
Once you have it organized, communicating and working on documents at work becomes much easier.
Even if you read it just once, the main points will be clear.
There are fewer instances where you can't remember the word you need.
Reading becomes enjoyable, and something stays in your head after reading.
I can write and express my opinions clearly! Through this 8-week literacy training, you'll discover a confident, everyday self.
