For upper elementary school students, full-scale reading training
Keep improving your reading skills!

The real reading comprehension for the CSAT should start in the upper elementary grades!
The upper elementary school years, which are “preliminary to middle school,” are the time when serious reading comprehension begins.
If you laid the foundation for reading comprehension in the lower grades of elementary school with a focus on factual reading, in the upper grades you need to advance to the more comprehensive thinking skills assessed in the CSAT, such as inferential reading, critical reading, and creative reading. This is true reading comprehension.
Especially in the upper grades of elementary school, students' thinking skills are greatly enhanced, so sufficient practice can significantly improve their reading comprehension skills.

To improve your reading skills, you need to practice by gradually increasing the level.
Reading comprehension skills gradually deepen as you read texts that are slightly higher in level than your own.
Therefore, if you start reading comprehension considering your level and steadily practice by gradually increasing the level of the text, your skills will naturally improve.
The four-volume series is divided into sections based on the length of the text, the level of the writing, and the vocabulary level, and the difficulty level gradually increases, allowing you to build your reading skills.

▶ Special features of [Elementary Upper Grade Stepping Stone Reading Comprehension]
First, select a text from the essential areas that appear on the CSAT.
Four texts are included for each essential subject: humanities, philosophy, society, economics, science, technology, language, culture, art, and environment, according to the level of each text.

Second, it includes problems that embody the thinking styles asked in the CSAT.
All questions that can appear in the text are covered thoroughly, including content comprehension, development method, inference, criticism, case application, vocabulary, and one-line summary.
Additionally, we have created a 'College Scholastic Ability Test Connection' corner below the questions so that you can check the study direction that is connected to the College Scholastic Ability Test, such as concept words and problem types.

Third, a special lecture on reading comprehension is included to learn the principles of reading comprehension.
We have included a special lecture on reading comprehension, filled with diverse content, so that you can easily learn the principles related to reading comprehension, such as the concepts, methods, and types of problems.
