The power of transcribing humanities classics to foster young minds
Description
Book Introduction
#Serious literacy decline: Solving it with humanities classics
#Cultivating the power of understanding makes character education easier.
#The most important thing in the AI era is the ability to think for yourself.
#10 minutes a day, time to encounter the humanities through writing
Every time I copy a humanities classic line by line,
Literacy and thinking skills growing step by step
In the field of education, ‘declining literacy’ is considered a serious problem.
It is no longer a joke when students ask, “Who am I?” in response to the question, “What is your opinion?”
The problem is that as our ability to understand text declines, our ability to understand situations, context, and the feelings and positions of others also declines.
Teacher Choi Seon-gyeong, who was seriously concerned about the decline in students' literacy skills, found a breakthrough in 'humanities classics.'
We found that by giving students 10 minutes a day to read classic humanities books, they became more familiar with books and their literacy skills improved dramatically.
We also observed that this increase in literacy had a positive impact on students' character education, and we tried various methods to teach students the humanities classics more effectively.
The method reached after numerous attempts was 'copying humanities classics'.
Short, stimulating content dominates children's brains, so instead, I guided them to fully internalize the wisdom contained in humanities classics through transcription, the slowest reading method.
"The Power of Copying Humanities Classics to Nurture Youth's Thinking" is a book that compiles the author's expertise in humanities classics education.

Into the book
Through classics, we can learn lessons from past history to live in the present and future, and improve our thinking skills through questions.
It can also expand your thinking and cultivate wisdom and insight.
At this point, when we are emphasizing education that draws out students' potential rather than simply pouring knowledge into them, I am convinced that reading classics is one of the most essential types of education.
Since 2020, I have been working as a researcher for the Humanities Classics Reading Discussion Group, and I have personally experienced that humanities classics are a powerful tool for self-reflection and self-reflection.

From “The Power of Humanities Classics”
You might not think that reading a book for 10 or 15 minutes a day will make a big difference, but if you focus and read for 10 to 15 minutes, anyone can read about 20 pages.
If you read a book like this for an hour, you will read 80 to 100 pages, and if you add up all the wasted time, you can read a book for up to 3 hours a day.
If you read for 10 minutes every day for a year, you can read at least 12 books in a year.
Reading ability is a skill that improves little by little as you practice it.
However, the reality is that we cannot force people to read for 3 hours a day.
I believe that if busy modern people invest even just 10 minutes, or even 15 minutes a day, in reading a book, whether it's while commuting to work, before going to bed, or before starting work, there will definitely be a big change.
This is a habit that can be easily practiced in everyday life. Not only can it help you gain knowledge and experience, but reading also increases the stress relief effect and helps you sleep better and improve concentration.

From “The Power of Reading 10 Minutes a Day”
Transcription is the slowest way to read.
If you want to copy the text line by line, you must first read it carefully.
It becomes a training to read properly.
Reading is done by savoring the work by carefully reading the words, sentences, and even the spaces between the lines.
There are things that can only be seen if you read slowly.
This is the foundation for reading and writing.
Sentence power, vocabulary, and a sense of good writing do not develop overnight.
If you keep writing, you will accumulate advanced vocabulary, a sense of good sentences, and the skills to understand and utilize the context and logical structure that lead to the topic without even realizing it.
Handwriting also helps develop a sense of writing.
If you concentrate and copy it as accurately as possible, the words will come to you in three dimensions and you will experience immersion.
The author's sentences come alive as the scenes are drawn in detail and clarity.
You get a sense of the feeling the author had when he was writing.
When you copy text, you observe the text.
So, you will develop the habit of carefully observing not only the text but also the objects around you.
The only way to improve concentration, observation, and attention is to write.
It can also expand your thinking and cultivate wisdom and insight.

Recommendation
Classics are the most precious heritage preserved by mankind.
This book kindly teaches the method of classical transcription, an essential process for those who want to become better versions of themselves.
Readers have the best habit of copying classics.
I would like to give it to myself as a gift.
-Bae Cheol-hyeon (writer, classical literature scholar)
The greatest strength of this book is that it does not stop at 'reading' the humanities classics, but 'reading, writing, thinking, and practicing'.
The point is that it has been expanded to ‘doing’.
Concrete measures that teachers, parents, and students can implement immediately
It provides warm and helpful guidance and helps you develop the power of life and writing.
-Lee Min-gyu (Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Ajou University, 1% behavioral psychologist)
It selects classics like medicine and conveys good language and good questions.
I have no doubt that this book will not only bring warmth and comfort to our children's lonely lives, but will also be of great help in understanding each other's hearts.
-Cheon Gyeong-ho (President of the Practical Education Teachers Association)
I believe in the law of ten thousand hours.
I have personally experienced through teaching children how much consistent daily practice can change our lives.
I look forward to seeing children grow into strong adults while reading and copying the classic humanities books that form the foundation of their lives.
-Yoon Ji-seon (Chairperson of the National Teachers' Writers' Association, Bookssam)
By bringing the classics from a distant past into our daily lives, we transform reading them from a fearful experience into an intimate habit.
As a 'classic of life' that allows you to read and write together in your daily life and understand the world at your own pace, this book will be a good companion for everyone.
-Han Ju-eun (Trivium Classical Education Specialist, Think School ASK Planner, Professor)
This book goes beyond simply transcribing letters; it helps young people gain a deeper understanding of the world and themselves through the classics of the humanities.
It presents practical methods that students can consistently practice, especially in today's busy society.
