■ Why you should start with books for instrument education

Recently, voices calling for the need for instrumental education are growing louder in the educational field.
This is because instrumental education provides opportunities for diverse experiences that cannot be obtained through textbook learning alone, and by examining recent social events and issues, it contributes to fostering desirable values ​​and a self-directed and exploratory learning attitude.
However, for students, instrumental education often approaches them as a rigid and boring class that only emphasizes the meaning.

Four librarians, who had been struggling to create enjoyable class times, found the answer in a book.
There are three main advantages of book-based learning.
First, students who are vulnerable to unreliable information on the Internet can acquire quality information through books.
Second, by reading a book while empathizing with the characters' emotions, you can develop an attitude that recognizes diversity.
Third, by encountering topics you haven't encountered before, such as history, human rights, and social issues, through books, you can reflect on your own life and develop your humanistic knowledge.
The authors argue that by leveraging these strengths and implementing instrumental education using books from various fields available in school libraries, they can kill two birds with one stone: provide substantive instruction and enhance students' reading experience.
This book guides teachers and students, tired of predictable instrumental education, to create a fun classroom through mutual interaction, and helps students expand their learning horizons based on 25 diverse instrumental education topics.

■ By subject and grade according to the date
A configuration that only takes out the necessary parts

In keeping with its subtitle, “Reading activities you can do every day,” this book introduces each anniversary by season and theme.
We examine four national holidays and 18 commemorative days established by law, as well as topics that students really need in real-world schools, such as character education, school violence prevention education, and human relationships.
Furthermore, within each topic, books and reading activities are detailed by grade level, allowing teachers to select and utilize books and activities individually as needed.
The books used in the instrument classes were carefully selected with a wide range of considerations, including topical relevance, up-to-dateness, reading level of the grade group, political correctness, and reader diversity to avoid hurting or alienating any particular students.
Through reading activities that involve reading together, sharing thoughts, and putting them into practice, students will be able to acquire the meaning and value of each anniversary more easily and enjoyably.


■ Three steps for systematic reading activities

The instrument education reading activity is largely divided into three stages.
In 'Introduction', we have included introductory activities that can awaken students' awareness of the book's theme before reading and arouse their interest.
The teacher's introduction and students' vivid answers have been included as is so that it can be used effectively in actual classroom settings.
'Activities' contains two or three optional reading activities that can be used in class.
Rather than simply conveying the meaning of the anniversary, we prioritized its connection to the content of the book.
Above all, the authors have provided activity sheets that they have created through years of trial and error, making them a useful resource for everyone, from novice teachers just starting out with instrumental education to veteran teachers exploring more unique teaching methods.


Lastly, in 'Conclusion', after finishing the activity, the theme of the instrumental education was emphasized once again so that students could look back on the meaning of the anniversary they learned that day.
We hope to make the lesson more engaging by completing quizzes or brief additional activities.
Additionally, if you refer to the list of "Good Books to Read Together" that decorates the last page of each anniversary, you will be able to continue the instrumental education steadily and in-depth as a voluntary and three-dimensional learning method, rather than simply ending the class as a one-time experience.

In the case of instrumental education, textbooks are often not used, so there is always a shortage of materials to refer to in class, such as concepts about the topic, historical facts, and activities to do with students.
It's difficult to explain the reasons and origins of instrumental education, and I'm also worried about what to do as class activities.
To alleviate this regret, four like-minded librarians came together to prepare a class by systematically connecting opportunity education, books, and post-reading activities.
I've spent years reviewing countless children's books and devising follow-up activities to select books that are not only fun to read but also have a strong connection to the subject matter.
And while actually teaching, I went through the process of revision and supplementation again.
I hope this book will provide a clue to teachers and parents who are struggling to open a window of new direction for their students.
I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable class.
