Publisher's Review
■ A comprehensive look at world history figures you must know! Build a solid foundation in world history!
It's too late to start learning the vast world history in middle school.
The world needs to lay the foundation from elementary school.
An effective way to build a foundation in world history is to begin with an interesting figure.
In "Mr. Yong's 15-Minute World History Reading," you can encounter the stories of over 120 people who have left their mark on history in various fields, including politics, economics, society, culture, and the arts.
It includes all the figures that appear in middle school history textbooks, as well as figures from the past that are not in textbooks but are essential to know as common sense.
You can grasp the flow of world history from ancient times to the present through the stories of about 120 historical figures.

■ A comprehensive summary of textbook keywords and key vocabulary! Non-fiction reading made easy!
The foundation of reading comprehension is vocabulary.
"Mr. Yong's 15-Minute World History Reading" blends rigid historical terms and difficult vocabulary into fun and interesting stories about characters.
As you read, vocabulary that was previously unfamiliar will naturally become understood and become ingrained in your mind.
Important vocabulary is explained in detail, including the Chinese characters, through a vocabulary dictionary, and vocabulary study problems are used to review the vocabulary.
If you solve problems like this for 15 minutes every day, your vocabulary will grow and your non-fiction reading skills will also improve.


■ Listen to the character's story in audio format!
『Mr. Yong's 15-Minute World History Reading』 provides audio material of the text.
You can use it freely for review before or after solving the problems.
By hearing the thoughts and lines of world history figures vividly in the voices of professional voice actors, you can study world history as if you were transported back in time.



Our child reads a lot of books,
Can we really understand non-fiction writing?


It's now a well-known fact that children who are good at reading also do well in school.
But can we truly say our children have good reading comprehension just because they're good at reading comics or novels? It's a mistake to assume that just because they're reading, they'll get good grades.


There is a separate reading method that will help you get good grades.
It depends on non-literature reading training.
Unlike literature such as novels or poetry, non-fiction makes it difficult to predict the content that will follow, and the amount of information that is presented unilaterally makes it difficult for children to easily become interested in the text.
Most children find it boring and difficult.


So, many children complain of learning difficulties starting in the third grade of elementary school, when the amount of non-fiction texts in textbooks increases rapidly.
At a time when you should be interested in studying and want to learn more, you lose interest in studying and want to give up.
We run into the barrier of non-literature.


To address these concerns for parents and children, Yongseonsaeng, an elementary education brand chosen by 3 million readers, has stepped forward.
The Social Criticism History Research Institute, which has been working hard on children's history education by publishing 『Reading World History with Mr. Yong as a Liberal Arts』, 『Mr. Yong's First World History』, and 『Mr. Yong Goes』, is now presenting 『Mr. Yong's 15-Minute World History Reading』, which strengthens non-literature reading comprehension training and completes the basics of world history.


『Mr. Yong's 15-Minute World History Reading』 is a subject in the 'Mr. Yong's 15-Minute Series' published following 『Mr. Yong's 15-Minute Reading』. It is a textbook that helps children develop reading comprehension skills, which determine their learning ability, while also naturally acquiring knowledge related to world history.
