A Journey to Grow English Reading and Thinking Skills with Newbery

From memorizing plot lines to reading narratives, from interpreting words to feeling and thinking!
A practical guide to taking your child's English reading skills to the next level.

1.
The depth of reading that Newbery provides
Newbery Medalists go beyond narrative reading to encourage readers to understand emotions and expand their thinking.
The themes of loss and recovery, friendship and courage, identity and growth in the work resonate deeply with the child's inner self.
These experiences go beyond memorizing words or interpreting sentences, and lead us to accept English as a 'language of emotions and thoughts.'

2.
How to expand your reading experience
The text presents four steps to improve reading comprehension: understanding story structure, reading emotions and relationships, broadening thinking, and extending to life.
Through this, we go beyond simply reading a book and connect it to discussion, writing, and creation.
For example, 『The One and Only Ivan』 teaches us how to read emotions from description and action rather than dialogue, and 『Holes』 teaches us how to understand the whole story by following foreshadowing and the flow of time.

3.
Changes Made by Consistent Habits
The author emphasizes that a daily routine of 10 to 15 minutes can change a child's reading ability.
More important than reading it all is the small daily practices, and the effect is greater when combined with conversations with parents, simple journaling, and short activities.
As children accumulate daily experiences with books, they grow into readers who can think and express themselves independently within English books.
