“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 accurately understand the meaning of words, properly grasp the main idea, and grasp 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 a stepping stone for building a solid foundation in Korean.
