Special tips for first-time students on how to get through school!
A life-focused elementary school admissions guide to becoming a confident elementary school student.

Going to school for the first time can be both exciting and nerve-wracking.
A child begins his or her first social life by moving from a familiar environment to an unfamiliar one.
It's a series of new places, new friends, and things you never experienced in kindergarten.
Children may complain of 'new semester syndrome' due to the stress caused by this unfamiliar environment.
What if you could experience elementary school life in advance? It would reduce anxiety about the new semester and help you grow into a joyful and proactive elementary school student.

"The Strongest First Grader" is a book for children who are entering elementary school for the first time, and also for parents who are worried about what their children will experience when they start elementary school.
If children can know in advance what will happen at school and prepare for it, it will be much more reassuring for both the children and the adults.

100% empathy, comics and picture diaries that enhance fun and emotion!
Complete your preparation for the real thing with easy-to-follow cuts!

Teacher Seo-yoon Lee, an elementary school teacher with 16 years of experience, an EBS public lecturer, and the author of "Lee Seo-yoon's Elementary School Life Prescription" with 100,000 subscribers, has always been thinking about "How can we make elementary school enjoyable for children?"
The concerns of first-graders, especially those who are new to anything, are so diverse and unexpected that no matter how carefully parents and guardians observe and care for them, they can never fully anticipate them! "The Strongest First Grader" is a book that draws on teacher Lee Seo-yoon's extensive experience with first-graders, and unfolds them from a child's perspective in a most comfortable way.


From the perspective of a school-going child, 30 common situations that school children face are expressed through cute and fun cartoons and picture diaries drawn by Kim Yu-shin, the author of "Merong Haechi," so that students can empathize with how their friends might feel in difficult situations.
There are also special corners.
“This time, try it like this!” shows solutions that children can easily follow.
You can empathize with the main characters' stories through comics and picture diaries, and learn how to write a picture diary.
The “Follow Me” corner provides children with the fun of trying things on their own, builds empathy, and fosters independence.


It's okay to be clumsy!
If you just follow along, you too can already be the strongest first-year student!

What are the most common mistakes children encounter at school? We've carefully covered everything from serious situations like getting lost, wetting your pants, not being able to eat a new side dish in the cafeteria, and losing something, to trivial things like opening lids, borrowing and returning items, and even carrying water bottles—things that are often overlooked but essential for a fun school experience.
We've also included situation-specific tips from Teacher Seo-yoon so you can handle situations that are a little different from the ones in the book without panicking.

Together with "The Strongest First Year," we hope that our first-year students will become truly confident "strongest first-year students."
