Book Introduction
The Miracle of Writing Four Sentences in 10 Minutes a Day Like a Harvard Student
The elementary school edition of "150 Years of Harvard Writing Secrets," chosen by 100,000 readers, has been published!
The simplest and most effective way to develop elementary writing skills

The elementary school version of "150 Years of Harvard Writing Secrets," which has significantly reduced the burden of writing for 100,000 readers, has finally been published.
The author says to let the child write exactly '10 minutes and 4 lines a day', no more, no less.
Just as memorizing the multiplication table and using it as a habit will make most calculations automatic, if you practice the '4-line formula' until it becomes a habit, writing will become automatic.
Organizing your thoughts logically and expressing them in writing becomes a piece of cake!

The 'Oreo Formula' is the simplest and most effective way to improve writing skills in elementary school children.
It consists of four lines, one line each for 'opinion, reason, example, opinion', and summarizes the logical thinking skills that Harvard students learn throughout their four years in a way that is suitable for elementary school children.
If children practice this formula for 10 minutes a day, they can learn to think logically and express themselves in writing quickly, easily, and enjoyably.

Writing skills develop thinking skills, and thinking skills develop logic, reasoning, and expressive skills.
It is about becoming a person capable of self-directed learning and a person with abundant creativity.
Many futurists, economists, educators, and neuroscientists emphasize that if there is one thing we can do for our children who will live in a world where artificial intelligence is rampant, it is to foster their ability to think.
To cultivate such talent, Harvard teaches all courses in all subjects, grades, and grade levels, with a focus on writing.
We need to help our children develop Harvard-level writing skills before it's too late!

Harvard-level writing can be learned by our children by learning the Harvard writing secrets.
Why writing is important, how it's taught at Harvard, and how you can practice it at home—Korea's top writing coach shares his secrets with young mothers.
So, it would be good for the mother to look through it first and then give it to the child.
First, the burden on the mother to think and write will be lifted, and then the burden on the child will be lifted as well.

If you want to raise a child who slurs his words into a child who can clearly express his thoughts, a child who stutters into a child who can write fluently, or a child who hates books into a child who excels at studying, the first thing to do is to develop writing skills.
And the simplest and most certain way to improve your writing skills is to memorize the Oreo formula, which contains 150 years of Harvard writing secrets, like the multiplication table, and use it habitually.
This book is the beginning.

Into the book
YouTuber? Pro gamer? Programmer? Doctor? Webtoon artist? Teacher? Chef? What does your child want to be in the future? No matter what their dreams are, they need to develop writing skills first.
No matter what job a child has, if they want to achieve and live as they want, they need to use their thinking skills, and thinking skills can only be developed through writing.
Because the ability to create and communicate thoughts and get what you want is only possible through writing.
---From "Even YouTube is influenced by writing"

Our children also write frequently because they are given assignments at school or academy.
However, it is all about writing to express feelings and reveal the heart.
Of course, expressive writing that develops emotions in a soft way is also very important.
However, upper elementary school students must develop logical thinking skills that are essential for the learning process that continues into middle school and high school.
Therefore, during this period, we need to update our children's thinking skills through logical writing that organizes their thoughts and expresses them in a coherent manner.
---From "Raise Your Child to Be a Writer"

This book covers writing techniques that children in their fourth grade can learn and use throughout their lives.
The secret is all about using the Oreo Formula, a way to logically formulate, organize, and organize your thoughts.
With just one Oreo 4-line formula, you can develop the ability to think logically and express yourself coherently.
With this one formula, you can write any thought in just four lines: "Opinion? Reason? Example? Suggestion."
By repeating this process, you will eventually gain the superpower to think logically, express yourself, and persuade.
---From "The Miracle of Writing 4 Lines in 10 Minutes a Day"

Before you just write down your thoughts, organize them logically into four lines, 'O?R?E?O', and then supplement each line with specific content. This will complete a logical piece of writing.
Using the Oreo formula to create writing material will help you focus your writing on the topic.
You don't have to wander around in a maze of thoughts uselessly.
There is no need to omit or duplicate anything that needs to be considered.
---From "If you put in an idea, the writing comes out right away?"

You can't guide children's writing by saying, "Write your thoughts freely."
At this time, you can start easily by using a pre-determined writing format, like a puzzle.
The Oreo Formula is a writing primer that helps children think and express themselves logically.
Once you learn it properly, it becomes a useful tool that you can use for the rest of your life.
---From "To Overthrow the Kingpin of Logical Writing"

“Only when you write for 10 minutes a day can you begin to ‘think.’” Professor Nancy Somers emphasizes that writing and thinking are inseparable, so if you write for 10 minutes a day, you will begin to think for 10 minutes.
But not many people learn to write by writing every day.
At the same time, I am very enthusiastic about learning how to write.
Writing is a habit, not a cram lesson.
---From "The One Thing You Don't Do If You Want to Write Well"

When your child writes, don't say, "You wrote well, you didn't write well." Instead, just check to see if the sentence structure is correct.
Since this is just a short essay practice on organizing your thoughts logically, you only need to take this.
---From "Before you say, 'Well written,' 'Not well written'"

Deep understanding and application of what you have learned is only possible through the process of writing it down.
This is why Harvard University introduced a program where students study while writing for all majors, all subjects, and all courses.
We also share Harvard University's beliefs and encourage our children to do the same.
I need to have my child study while writing too.
It's called the 'Oreo Study Method'.
We've previously practiced organizing our thoughts using the Oreo formula and writing them out in short essays, so now studying while writing, or the Oreo study method, is no problem.
---From "How do Harvard's bookworms study?"

If our children can write Harvard-level essays, they will have the ability to think for themselves, express themselves captivatingly, and communicate persuasively in their own voice about whatever they do.
You can grow into an attractive adult and live your life using that attractiveness as an influence.
---From "If You Know How to Write a Harvard Essay"

People who are good at writing also say the same thing.
“Writing is not about writing, it is about rewriting.”
Truly, the greatest joy of writing lies in rewriting.
Let your child experience that every piece of writing is a rewrite.
It is very effective in eliminating the burden of writing.
---From "Writing is not about writing, it is about rewriting"

When children learn that their mothers have preferred expressions, they are more likely to imitate the expressions adults use rather than expressing their thoughts in their own words.
If you do that, you will end up following along without even knowing what the words mean.
If an adult mother keeps correcting her child's writing, the child develops a bad habit of "adult writing," where the child's thoughts are still childish but the child's expressions are adult.
---From "Mom is not a red pen teacher"

Publisher's Review
“Please help my child learn to write well.”
-Complaints from mothers who find writing difficult

As soon as it was published, "150 Years of Harvard Writing Secrets" created a "Harvard Writing Secrets" syndrome among people who wanted to improve their writing skills.
I didn't know there were so many people who couldn't write a single line because they didn't know what to write or how to write it.
This book prescribed the simple, clear, yet effective OREO formula to 100,000 readers struggling with writing disorder, and the feedback returned was grateful comments saying that it gave them more confidence in writing.
And in many cases, there were desperate requests attached.


“Please help my child learn to write well.”
Parents who have experienced the benefits of the Oreo formula have told us that they want to teach it to their children.
In fact, elementary school students still have weak concentration skills to pay attention for long periods of time and weak writing skills to hold a pencil.
No matter how simple the Oreo formula is, it may be difficult for elementary school students.

This book, "150 Years of Harvard Writing Secrets for Elementary School Students," is a prescription that answers that request precisely, with pride and a sense of mission, as Korea's leading writing coach.
It is 'Write 10 minutes a day like a Harvard student'.
If the Oreo Formula is a concise summary of Harvard's 150-year-old writing secrets, "Write 10 Minutes a Day Like a Harvard Student" is a redesign of the Oreo Formula tailored to elementary school students.

“It’s simple. Just write 4 lines for 10 minutes a day.”
-The Oreo Formula, a compilation of Harvard's writing secrets


Even mothers who nod their heads eagerly when told that writing skills are a shortcut to developing critical thinking and creativity, which are core competencies of future talent, shake their heads when told that teaching children to write at home is of the utmost importance.

“Oh, I can’t write that.”
Of course.
The reason why the thought of teaching my child to write makes my eyes darken is because I, too, have never properly learned how to write.
But there's no need to worry at all.
Since the child is already taking writing classes at school, the teaching can be done by the school teacher, the academy teacher, or the red pen teacher.
So what should a mother do? Make her write consistently.
Even if you can't say 'well written, badly written', can't you say 'well written, badly written'?

Of course, the child is still writing now.
However, most of the writing is expressive, containing feelings and impressions, and even then, it is only occasionally done as homework.
This way, you can't develop your thinking and writing skills.
So what should I write? I need to write logically.
You should practice organizing your thoughts logically and coherently and expressing them in writing.

'Write 10 Minutes a Day Like a Harvard Student' is the perfect tool for practicing this kind of logical writing.
All you have to do is decide on a topic to write about, create four lines using the Oreo formula, and then connect the four lines to create a short paragraph.
10 minutes a day is enough.
Even elementary school students with weak concentration and writing skills can try it with an easy mind.

This book explains in detail everything from deciding on a writing topic to using the Oreo formula and how to improve your child's writing.
All mothers need to do is refer to this book and help their children write for 10 minutes a day like a Harvard student at a set time each day.

“If only the Oreo formula could be written like a multiplication table.”
-Key skills that cover everything from thinking and creativity to school grades and the college entrance exam.


In the fifth grade, children begin to study in earnest, which requires logical thinking, and in the sixth grade, they learn to write argumentative essays.
So, it is good to have the ability to think logically by the 4th grade of elementary school.
It may seem difficult to say 'logical', but if you look at the structure, it is actually very simple.
You just need to 'present your opinion in step 1, explain the reason in step 2, give an example in step 3, and emphasize your opinion in step 4.'
Thinking, speaking, and writing logically means involving all four of these steps.

The 'Oreo Formula', the core technique of 'Writing 10 Minutes a Day Like a Harvard Student', contains exactly this structure.
If you consistently practice writing OREO, or 'Opinion - Reason - Example - Opinion', one line at a time, you will not only be able to logically organize your thoughts, but you will also have a brain that thinks logically from the beginning.
Learning becomes easier when you can think and express yourself logically.
This is because metacognitive skills, which are common in children who are good at studying, are developing.
You will learn what you know and what you don't know, and study to fill in the gaps.
There is no way that your grades, whether it be school grades or the CSAT, will be bad.
Schoolwork isn't the only thing you need! Thinking, creativity, and expressive skills are essential for life.

Make the Oreo formula usable like a multiplication table! To do this, you need to get into the habit of thinking and expressing things in Oreo terms.
For now, 10 minutes a day will do.
If you do it consistently for at least 21 days, you will take the first step.
The appendix to this book contains worksheets to practice for 21 days.

"Harvard-level writing creates Harvard-level talent."
-The secret to writing that starts small and grows big


If you still find writing difficult, it's a good idea to start by lowering your expectations about writing.
Think of writing not as writing, but as rewriting.
There is no writing that is completed on the first try.
First, write, then rewrite, then rewrite, and then rewrite.
Harvard students also complete their writings by revising them several times with the help of writing center teachers.

The same goes for children's writing.
There is no need to say, "Well written, badly written," about what your child has written.
You can just rewrite it.
No, it would be better to tell them that writing is meant to be rewritten in the first place, and so they should not feel burdened by writing.
The burden is the biggest obstacle to writing.
If you think that writing is about rewriting, and that it's okay if the first piece you write gets 30 points, your child will start practicing writing with a light heart.

Once the burden of writing is gone and you can take it lightly, you can move on to the next step.
Writing becomes play.
Just as a great chef gathers good ingredients, or a child who enjoys playing with Legos collects Lego bricks, a person who enjoys writing gathers material for his writing.
It's a good idea to develop the habit of writing down and organizing any good ideas you come across while reading a book or watching a movie.

Sharing is also one of the joys of writing.
You can post on a blog or social media to get feedback from others, or you can create a writing group with some friends and exchange opinions on each other's writing.

If you collected all the writings of a Harvard student over four years, it would weigh about 50 kilograms of A4 paper.
And yet, he says that the thing he regrets most after graduating is not being able to practice writing more.
This book helps children ease the burden of writing from elementary school onward, make writing a habit, and even help them enjoy it.
If so, it wouldn't be just a dream for our children to grow up as "Harvard Kids" and one day mingle with Harvard-level talents on the world stage.
