100 English Fairy Tales: Masterpieces
The most read book by children around the world
Start reading with fun with '100 English Fairy Tales'!

■ Let’s start off excitingly with your first reading, a classic fairy tale!

If you are just beginning to read on your own, there is probably no book more suitable as a starting point than a classic fairy tale.
This book is a collection of highlights from 100 of the world's most popular children's fairy tales, including Aesop's Fables, Andersen's Fairy Tales, Greek Myths, and the Talmud, making it an exciting and enjoyable read.
Additionally, since you often reread content you've already read in Korean in English, you can reduce the burden of reading in English.
The relatively low difficulty level of vocabulary and the fact that it contains many conversational expressions that native speakers frequently use in their daily lives are also unique advantages of classic fairy tales.


■ You can even infer the meaning of English words by looking at the cute images placed next to the words in the sentence!

'100 English Fairy Tales: Masterpieces' not only includes exciting illustrations for each story to help readers understand the fairy tale, but also inserts cute images that remind readers of words between English sentences, so vocabulary learning is done naturally.
For example, by inserting a fox face next to fox and an eagle face next to eagle, you can naturally infer the meaning of unfamiliar English words and naturally expand your vocabulary.

■ What has changed in the improved revised edition of '100 English Fairy Tales'?

The '100 English Fairy Tales' series is a bestseller and steady seller that has been loved by readers for a long time.
This revised edition actively reflects the opinions of English teachers and parents who teach with this book, and has been structured to make it more convenient to use and maximize learning effectiveness.
What's new and different in the newly upgraded "100 English Fairy Tales" for busy elementary school students?

1) From books that others read to books that I read myself!
The revised edition of '100 English Fairy Tales' pursues full-fledged 'Self Reading'.
Accordingly, we changed the book's size and binding method to be the most comfortable for elementary school students to read on their own.
Additionally, instead of a CD, each story has a QR code so you can listen to MP3 recordings by native speakers.

2) Kill two birds with one stone: read a lot (extensive reading) and read properly (intensive reading)!
The best thing about the 100-volume series is that you can read it all in one volume.
However, from elementary school onwards, careful reading is as important as extensive reading.
In the revised edition, we've added a new 'Quiz Time' feature for each story, allowing you to check how much you've understood.
After reading a fairy tale, you can check for yourself whether you read it correctly by solving light problems like a game.

3) An English reading book that is even more trustworthy thanks to the review of two native English-speaking teachers!
The revised edition includes a re-review by Isaac Durst, who is currently serving as the principal of an American private school, and Michael A.
With additional review by Professor Putlack, it has been reborn as an even more reliable English reading book.

4) English ‘Listening → Speaking → Reading’ in one book!
Also, in the revised edition, for children and parents who do not know how to study, we suggest a learning method that uses not only reading but also opening ears and mouths.
For detailed learning methods, please refer to 'How to use this book'.

■ How to use this book - How to use this book 200%!

Step 1) Listen carefully! First, listen carefully!
Before reading each story, scan the QR code with your phone and listen to the audio of the story read by a native speaker.
At this time, listen carefully to see if you can hear the words and content that came to mind when looking at the illustration.

Step 2) Read with your eyes!
Read it again with your eyes while listening to the native speaker's voice.
At this time, if you can't concentrate, read while pointing at the text with your finger.
Reading each word one by one helps you check whether you are listening to the audio source well and helps you connect sounds and letters.

Step 3) Read aloud!
Read it out loud slowly by yourself.
For words you don't know, underline or highlight them rather than looking up their meaning right away.
Check any words that are difficult to read or pronounce, and then check the meaning of the words after understanding the entire content.

Step 4) Listen to your reading voice! Listen to your recorded voice!
Read each sentence in the native speaker's voice, keeping the intonation and atmosphere as close as possible.
If you can read fluently, try recording it with your smartphone.
It is more effective if you read it as if you were an actor.
Then listen to your recorded voice.

Step 5) Check your comprehension!
Check your understanding of the content by solving the Quiz Time questions placed at the bottom of each story.
If you understand the content, you can proceed to Quiz Time at Levels 2 and 3! However, if you get any questions wrong, be sure to review them before moving on.
Also, it would be good to make a separate notebook for words you don't know and write them down in your own vocabulary book to review.
