List of books included in elementary school Korean language textbooks/Career exploration guide/Korean Standard Classification of Occupations (Statistics Korea)

Kids these days are really busy.
At home, I have so much homework to do that I barely get enough sleep while attending academies for Korean, English, and math.
Do children living such busy lives really have time to dream about their future? Compared to middle and high school students, who are busy preparing for school grades and the CSAT, elementary school students have relatively more free time.
At this time, you should explore your career path and discover your aptitude and talent.
The first thing to do is to discover the ‘seed of your dream’ – what you want to do, what you like, and what you are good at.
There are many books that help with career education.
Let's develop our dreams by gaining various indirect experiences through books and accumulating knowledge related to our profession.
In the process, you can also develop inner strengths such as ‘sincerity’, ‘consideration’, ‘courage’, and ‘challenge’, which are important values ​​for living in the world.


So, it is difficult for parents to judge and decide on their own which books to read, how to talk to their children, what core values ​​the books talk about, and how to internalize those core values.
The author of this book introduces 50 books that parents and children can use to explore career paths together, as well as creative questions and post-reading activities that expand children's thinking and open up career paths.
If you read the books introduced in this book and engage in various post-reading activities, you will not only gain self-awareness but also a clear sense of purpose.

Divided into lower, middle, and upper grades, each book is divided into three sections: ‘Inside the Book,’ ‘Secrets Inside the Book,’ and ‘Tips for Expanding Parents and Children’s Insight.’

'Inside the Book' summarizes the core plots of books that provide a glimpse into the world of various professions, the people involved, their professional ethic, and life values.
I recommend that parents and children read this book together to learn more about the story in more detail and depth.


'Secrets in Secret Books' contains reviews from the perspective of teachers who live with children in educational settings.
The book's hidden meaning, reasons for recommendation, and directions for post-reading activities were introduced.


'Tips for Expanding Parents and Children's Insight' guides readers through post-reading activities such as 'Knowing Myself', 'Planning My Future', and 'Making a Dream List', and deepens the topic to 'Career Exploration' through topics such as Havruta, career-related figures, articles, and videos.
