Literacy is not simply the ability to read and interpret text, but rather the ability to interpret the meaning of text, stimulate creativity, develop three-dimensional thinking skills, and express and communicate.
Literacy also provides solutions to problems faced by children during their growing years (addiction, deficiency, etc.) and develops abilities such as attention, concentration, perseverance, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

For elementary school students, learning is mostly receptive.
That means it's one-sided.
This kind of one-sided education emphasizes simple memorization and only familiarizes short-term memory.
So, let the parents be the students and the children be the teachers, teaching what they learned that day.
As children prepare to teach, they will recall much of what they learned that day and commit it to long-term memory.
This long-term stored information allows for rapid learning of large amounts of information and also contributes to expansion.

So how can we leverage digital content? Beyond its industrial importance, games are also an essential part of communication with children.
This is why we need to study together.
If you want to prevent your child's digital addiction and encourage them to use digital content in a useful and appropriate way, have them create their own content, edit and upload videos, or create simple games.

Creating a family space online also helps develop 'media literacy' skills.
Because you can express yourself using digitized photos, drawings, text, voices, etc.
Our children upload photos of books they have read, write short reviews, and even upload family photos.
Parental feedback is essential here.

You may have heard the saying, "Reading carefully is better than reading a lot."
It means that it is important to read at least one book properly.
Rather than checking how much your child understood after reading a book, encourage them to express their feelings and thoughts.
At first, it may be difficult to even understand the content.
In times like these, you need to help them concretize what scene is most memorable and what words they remember.

People with good empathy and communication skills have good literacy.
People with good literacy have sophisticated expressions and meaningful creative activities.
Literacy is far from just speaking at length with difficult words.
A person with good literacy expresses himself in a variety of ways using precise words.
They have an excellent ability to understand and keep social contracts, and to convey and persuade others about their intentions.

What is computational thinking? Computational thinking is the way computer scientists think about problem solving, a thought process developed from problem-solving techniques.
In other words, it is a thinking ability that allows you to easily solve complex problems and save unnecessary time and money.

Literacy is also a skill required for developers.
Developers don't sit alone in front of a computer and create programs.
Constant communication and division of labor are necessary.
And at the center of it all is the ‘document’.
Even if you create one app, you need to have documentation that describes and organizes how to create the app and what functions are included.
If you can't create or read documents, you can't build apps.

Specifically, what do the processes that develop computational thinking and literacy have in common? Just as literacy begins with acquiring language through sounds, computational thinking begins with things like color sorting, puzzles, and block play.
Examples include parishes and learning tools for cognitive abilities.
In fact, your child may have begun learning computational thinking skills without even realizing it.

And coding directly improves literacy.
In block coding, the process of learning the functions of each block and then combining them is no different from the process of understanding sentences.
If we think of blocks as words, then combining blocks means combining words to create a sentence.
However, if a nonsensical sentence is created, the combined block will not be able to perform its function.
What is needed at this time is a ‘process of thinking about what is wrong.’
Many children find this difficult, but they must go through this process to grow.

One thing I want to emphasize is that computational thinking helps us organize our thoughts systematically.
While coding that involves directly handling programs is helpful, unplugged coding that doesn't involve handling programs also improves thinking skills.
Rather than strictly following the steps of 'decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm' required in computational thinking, it is effective to simply understand the flow and procedures of the process and organize them in an easy-to-read manner.

There are countless other activities to improve literacy, such as writing your own screenplay and creating a YouTube video, playing your favorite song and transcribing its lyrics, or writing subtitles for a famous animation.
Typing practice is also recommended.

It is a fun way to communicate with children using shapes and objects.
The father explains the shape of the paper cup, and the child listens to the father's explanation and draws it.
The key is to make sure that the explanation doesn't reveal that it's a paper cup.
You can develop a sense of inferring things.
Conversely, it is also necessary to have the child explain.
The ability to observe and express things is doubled.

It's a great activity to build endurance with long-term projects.
These days, people type on a computer and write, but I recommend writing by hand.
Let's choose a humanities book.
It is time to take nourishment for the mind.
Even if you don't know it right away, it will be a great guide for living.
Additionally, transcription is directly linked to improving spelling and literacy.

Reading a newspaper improves literacy skills even if you don't understand all of the content.
Once you open the newspaper, it is a world of difficult words.
Let's read while looking for difficult words.
Perhaps understanding the word will require some fragmentary knowledge of the field.
