“In 2025, high school students will study using the new Korean language textbook.”
Nine 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.
In this curriculum, high school Korean language textbooks were reorganized into ‘Common Korean Language 1’ and ‘Common Korean Language 2’.
With the introduction of the 'high school credit system' where credits are earned each semester, high school students earn credits through various elective subjects, but the common Korean language is still required to be learned, not as an elective.


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 18 volumes of the newly revised common Korean language textbooks in 9 categories.
This book is a diverse collection of essential works that are repeatedly included in various textbooks, works that convey a new era and sensibility, and works that should be read carefully and thoughtfully even if they may seem unfamiliar and difficult at first.
We also provide helpful texts for deeper appreciation, provide detailed definitions for each work, and provide activities to help students reach the new curriculum's achievement standards and improve literacy.
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.


*The latest revised edition of the 'Reading Korean Language Textbooks' series is scheduled to be published in 2025 for the 2nd grade middle school series and in 2026 for the 3rd grade middle school series, in line with the development of new textbooks.

ㆍ Sub-components to support self-directed and immersive appreciation

The book was structured to be read like a poetry collection so that even students who have difficulty reading poetry can approach it in a friendly manner.
It introduces the poems by grouping them into themes such as the inner self of the poetic speaker, the voice of love, life and nature, society and history, and provides a space for writing one's own reviews to help one enjoy them independently.


ㆍ Strengthening post-reading activities and articles to help students understand the genre of lyric poetry and develop literacy skills.

To help readers understand the author and the work's historical background, metaphors and rhetoric, rhythm and imagery, and other lyrical genres, we've added appreciation guides and activity problems to each poem.
Each book is organized to help readers develop multifaceted appreciation skills and improve literacy by combining works with similar themes.
