Answer key

Is it true that children's vocabulary and literacy skills these days are lower than in the past?
The Korean and English sections have become too difficult.
Build your non-fiction reading skills now.

A significant portion of the non-literature passages covered in recent mock college entrance exams cover cutting-edge issues in various fields, including artificial intelligence, international relations, cultural content, and environmental issues.
Recently, social issues that have been rapidly emerging are topics that are inevitably covered in the CSAT, which requires new questions.
Also, the difficulty level of non-literary texts is different from before.
While the topic of discussion is that children's vocabulary and literacy skills are declining, it is also true that the difficulty of the texts that children must read and digest has increased significantly.

"Miracle Elementary Newspaper 2026" is a great non-fiction book for today's children, who must read and interpret difficult texts outside of their textbooks.
It is full of vivid and interesting stories that deal with current and vivid issues happening in the world surrounding children.
Meanwhile, four reporters who have honed their concise and logical writing skills through their long careers as reporters at major media outlets such as JoongAng Ilbo and JTBC, and a developer who has been leading the education of students in the field of Korean language textbooks and workbooks have joined forces.
It is a sharp non-fiction piece designed with elementary school students' reading level in mind.
In order to read and digest increasingly difficult texts, we need the ability to read and understand texts that are more unfamiliar and at a higher level than what we normally read.
Taking this into account, we mixed in 3-4 words per article that may be a bit difficult for elementary school students.
Children can develop their ability to infer words and reading comprehension by reading texts that contain difficult words.

“A child's dreams can never be bigger than the world he knows.”
Economy, International Affairs, Society, Science, Culture, Environment
We cover the latest issues that smart kids can enjoy reading.

Good writing is important, but if you're not interested, it'll be hard to read to the end.
"Miracle Elementary Newspaper 2026" covers six sections that are of interest to elementary school students and are also linked to the curriculum: economy, international affairs, society, science, culture, and environment.
Each article in the book is independent, so you can read one a day, but the topics are organically organized so that reading them one by one will gradually expand your knowledge of the related field.
Examples include, "Banks are disappearing! (Smart Finance)", "Smartphone, are you listening to me? (Privacy Issues)", and "SKT, my SIM card information was leaked (The Two-Sidedness of Technology)."
Meanwhile, articles that reflect the realistic concerns and lives of today's children, such as "These days, teenagers are worried about their appearance" and "Have you ever played the claw machine?", as well as issues that are closely related to children's interests, such as "Both movies and music are successful! 〈K-pop Demon Hunters〉 (content industry)" and "Love bugs are on the rise, covering the mountains in black (environmental issues)," captured interest.

A child's dreams cannot be bigger than the world he knows.
If you know even a little bit about any field, you can become interested in it and pursue your dreams.
"Miracle Elementary Newspaper 2026" is a book that introduces elementary school children to the wider world.
This book helps you see and hear many stories.
It might seem superfluous to know where AI technology has come from, why the US and China keep clashing over economic issues, or how different countries elect their presidents.
However, if children understand the current state of science, the direction in which society is changing, and the role of politics, they can develop a foundation for finding their own roles as members of society and nurturing their dreams.
This book will not only help you improve your non-fiction reading skills by reading one page a day for 10 minutes, but it will also be the first step toward developing an eye for understanding the world.
