“In 2025, first-year middle school students will study using the new Korean language textbook.”
10 revised textbooks in one volume!
A bestseller chosen by students, parents, and teachers

The proven series 'Reading Korean Language Textbooks', which was first introduced in 2010 and has been chosen by 2.2 million readers, has been republished in its latest revised edition.
Changbi's 'Reading Korean Textbooks' has been published in revised editions in accordance with the new curriculum since its first edition, and with the implementation of the '2022 Revised Curriculum', it is publishing the latest revised edition in preparation for the new Korean textbooks in 2025.
This curriculum emphasizes the ability to respond to future changes and adds a 'media' area.
The ability to critically understand media materials and creatively express one's thoughts has become more important than simply accepting the information given at face value.


Recently, as students' literacy skills have been declining due to difficulties in understanding texts because they do not know the meaning of words or are unable to grasp the context of texts they read, this has become a hot topic in schools.
Current Korean language teachers agree that starting with reading the original text of a Korean language textbook and building reading skills helps improve literacy.
Korean is the foundation for learning all subjects, and by establishing a solid foundation in Korean, critical and creative thinking skills can also be strengthened.
The latest revised edition of Changbi's 'Reading Korean Textbooks' has been strengthened with a customized structure that helps build a foundation for literacy and improve Korean language skills.


The latest revised edition of Changbi's 'Reading Korean Language Textbook Works' is organized by genre: poetry, novels, essays, and non-fiction, with the works included in the 10 newly revised Korean language textbooks for first-year middle school students.
In keeping with the changes in textbooks that have strengthened the inclusion of new contemporary works, as well as essential works that are repeatedly included in various textbooks, we have carefully selected and compiled works that are being included in textbooks for the first time.
Additionally, we have prepared activities to help strengthen literacy skills by providing helpful articles tailored to the level of first-year middle school students.
Through various activities, students can read independently to determine whether they know the exact meaning of words, whether they have properly grasped the main idea, and whether they have grasped the meaning of the work based on the context.
With nearly 15 years of accumulated expertise and the trust of countless readers, "Reading Korean Textbooks" is not only the perfect preparation for the changing textbooks, but also serves as a stepping stone for building a solid foundation in the Korean language.


Features of "Reading Korean Language Textbook Works: Essays and Non-Fiction for Middle School 1st Graders" (Revised Edition)

ㆍCarefully selected by current Korean language teachers based on 10 revised Korean language textbooks for first-year middle school students

According to the revised 2022 curriculum, first-year middle school students will study with new textbooks starting in 2025.
All essays and non-fiction prose included in the 10 new textbooks were carefully read and analyzed by current Korean language teachers.
It includes 29 essays and non-fiction pieces carefully selected in consideration of the objectives of the curriculum.

ㆍIncludes non-literary prose, including media areas added in the revised curriculum

The 2022 revised curriculum, which will be applied to first-year middle school students starting in 2025, includes a "media" area to foster digital and media capabilities.
In line with this, we have organized non-literary prose related to media into a single section to help readers critically understand media materials.

ㆍStrengthening the inclusion of original texts to enable readers to approach even difficult works with ease.

In textbooks, the writers sometimes edit non-literary prose to make it more concise.
However, in 'Reading Korean Language Textbook Works', we included the original text as the main text so that you can feel the flavor of the original text.
To help you understand the original text, which can be difficult to understand, and to go one step further and express your thoughts creatively, we have included word definitions for difficult words and activity problems that help strengthen literacy.

ㆍActivities to foster self-directed appreciation and foster thinking

We added helpful notes tailored to the curriculum at the beginning of each section to enhance understanding of the work and encourage self-directed appreciation.
In addition, 'Thinking' introduces not only the works included but also books and movies worth exploring, allowing readers to expand their literacy skills even after reading the book.

*The latest revised edition of the 'Reading Korean Language Textbooks' series is scheduled to be published in 2025 for the 2nd grade middle school series and in 2026 for the 3rd grade middle school series, in line with the development of new textbooks.
