Busy Elementary Literacy Newspaper

· Literacy doesn't grow on its own!
‘Literacy’ is one of the major topics in our education.
In fact, what I have noticed from teaching many children in school is that their ability to read and understand text does not develop as much as expected.
Looking at the recent results of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's elementary school literacy test, I once again realized that this issue is not simply a matter of perception, but an urgent educational challenge that can be confirmed by numbers.

· A powerful tool that develops vocabulary and critical thinking skills.
The 'News Reading' class was an attempt to solve this problem.
At first, children had difficulty with news articles that contained Chinese characters, current affairs terms, and complex sentence structures.
To address these challenges, we consistently conducted weekly classes using news articles in our classrooms for two years. As a result, the children became interested in current issues and began to gain confidence in organizing and expressing their thoughts in writing.
Through these experiences, I have confirmed that reading newspapers is a powerful tool for developing not only literacy but also vocabulary and critical thinking skills.
In particular, the process of discussing 'what is important news' and 'what perspective should we read it from' helped children develop a broader and deeper perspective.
Additionally, because the newspaper itself is like a social studies textbook containing the most up-to-date information, it has had a positive effect on learning.

· Create 15 minutes a day to develop your literacy skills!
The articles covered in this book are not difficult or heavy news.
These are stories you absolutely must know, and stories you'll want to think about.
Start with a light heart, thinking of it as 'reading' rather than 'studying', for 15 minutes a day.
After 40 days, you will have grown into a person who can see the world more broadly and think more deeply.
Literacy is not just the ability to read well, it is the power to understand the world.
I hope that every child who reads this book will grow in that strength.
