“I sat down at the desk with my child to teach some letters, but after about 8 minutes I got bored. Even if I use the’word passbook’ every day as a kindergarten homework, it does not work.” Youngjae’s mother is already worried. Youngjae, a seven-year-old son, is more impatient than his age because he doesn’t know Korean well. Some say,’Hangul is going to go to school,’ but eight out of ten learn Hangeul and enter elementary school. Even elementary school teachers say, “Basically, you need to know how to read and write letters before enrollment.” After enrollment, it is said that the teacher needs to read and understand the meaning of the letters written on the blackboard as “imitate drawing”, so that you can easily adapt to school life.
How to learn letters in a fun way
Mathematics textbooks require considerable writing skills than Korean books. Numbers are also difficult, but if you are blocked from reading math problems, your child loses interest in learning. It’s really easy Hangeul for guardians, but it’s the father and mother who are anxious because children don’t think that way. I just buy Hangeul textbooks at the bookstore and stack them up. Even if the child doesn’t seem to know his heart, he knows everything. The textbooks filled with the bookshelves are burdensome, so I smoke more. Now there is one way. It is only a fun way to learn letters in a fun way according to the child’s eye level. Teacher Seo-yoon Lee, who published the book, recommends starting with’letter making’ using various materials such as dough, clay, colored paper, crayons, paints, and sweets. If you make’b’ with dough and combine’Ah, hey, uh, woman’ with sweets of various flavors and shapes, there is no time to get bored. I also recommend the classic way to make letters using your body with your family. It is also good to play’Who is looking for who more’ in flyers or newspapers. After finding’ga’ in the newspaper, circle it with a red pen, cut out for’ha’, and color everything in’b’, and you can catch and apply any number of topics.

“It’s good to stick Korean word cards on things in the house, such as refrigerators and beds, and then try to learn’whole words’,” Lee said. It is a way to see and learn the letters themselves so that they can be seen at a glance,” he said. “If the mother says’flower pot’, the child and the dad run like a game and the person who picks the card first wins. “It is also recommended to play the Korean language store. The child becomes the owner of a store selling letters. The guardian said,’Please give me a butterfly card. When you ask’How much is it?’, the child will find it and say ‘500 won’. I can learn the concept of Korean and numbers at the same time, so the educational effect is good.” There is also a way to let you know the articulation principle of Hangeul by using sticky notes such as post-it notes without buying a special parish. The method is to write one consonant and one vowel on an sticky note and combine the letters. In order to create a’persimmon’, if a child combines’ㄱ, ㅏ, ㅁ’one by one in order to make the letter out loud, it becomes a fun letter game for audiovisual. Consonants and vowels you choose are immediately connected to sounds, and if you repeat the process of responding several times, you will also gain confidence.
Let’s play with picture books from today
When learning letters, it is good to use picture books. It’s because it’s easy and fun, yet has a story. It is to actively use picture books and play with’easy letters’ first. If your child is weak in writing letters with support such as’ㅁ’ or’ㄼ’ and’ㄺ’, you can start by reading a picture book that uses a lot of consonants. It is good to find the words with the base used in the picture book, such as’moon’,’cloud’,’wait’,’dark’,’wide’,’read’, and have them write them on sticky notes and read them aloud together. If you don’t know the translation well, you can find’snooping’,’cat’ and’bag’ in picture books and write them. Even if you can’t read or write fluently at once, you can repeat it several times. Experts in reading education emphasize that not only reading and covering picture books, but by continuing curiosity about books through various reading activities, you can become more familiar with letters. Mi-young Nam, the director of the Korea Reading Education Development Institute, recommends that you do not limit your reading activities in childhood and elementary school to only reading reviews. If you think of the book itself as a’story basket full of letters’, the picture book becomes a fun toy. Making an accordion book, making a folding screen, and making a handbag from a book cover are good ways to get acquainted with the letters. The advantage is that after reading a picture book, you can experience the secondary creation in the process of rewriting and drawing letters and pictures on drawing paper, and you can appreciate the contents of the book again in three dimensions.

For example, after reading a picture book written by John Burningham, he creates a wonderful four seasons picture book that expresses spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Prepare decorations such as colored paper, drawing paper, scissors, glue, colored pencils, sign pens, tapes and animal stickers. Fold the drawing paper into a rectangular shape, cut it and attach it long, and fold it like an accordion. It is an activity that makes the cover of the accordion book back and forth, and puts a sticker that the child likes in the middle of the blank, and expresses the feeling of each season with a picture. After learning the letters with a picture book, the reluctance to the letters decreases by doing the post-booking activities through interesting making. When a guardian reads a picture book at home, selects a topic, and links it to various reading activities, the study of letters leads to’living reading education’. Director Nam said, “I recommend imagining and speaking the lines of the next scene, making an animal dictionary, making your own book stamp, making a fan, making a drawing paper, and so on.” It is not an activity, but a fun play.” “Making a letter umbrella is also a great way. After reading a picture book, the child’s favorite scene or touching part is drawn on a transparent plastic umbrella to express it. They fill up the umbrellas one by one, write letters, and later retell the story of the book they read. Writing, reading, and speaking are all connected activities.”
Letters are’a tool for building relationships’
When a child learns to write, it also means that he/she will get a tool to express himself/herself. The child grows in the experience of sharing thoughts with others, including guardians, using a tool called letters. In order to develop a child’s’character capacity’, the relationship between the parent and child should not be shaken. After reading Hangul in earnest, the child begins to gauge and understand the relationship with friends and family through the process of’output’ in which he’types’ in his head and speaks with his mouth. You are ready to go on a long way to the world.
Learning letters is an experience in which a child’s thoughts expand. Learning letters in a variety of fun ways and actively using picture books will increase your vocabulary. The picture is the cover of a picture book, which is a hand bag making activity. Ministry of Education blog capture
To see if your child has learned all the letters and is’read-independent’, you can see if he can tell the story of the book in detail and accurately. If you can explain the whole flow of the story, including the words and actions of the protagonist, it is considered to be excellent for the first grade. It is also recommended to actively use public libraries to spend March when you become familiar with letters and expand your interests. Once a week, set a day of the week and drop by the library near the house with your child to choose 5 picture books. You can refer to the list of recommended books, but it is also the guardian’s role to trust the book your child has chosen. After borrowing a book, for 5 days, set a period of time to read the book. It is good for a guardian to read with interest, or for a child to read a picture book aloud and talk about the contents of the book together for about 10 minutes. It’s good to borrow a book one day of the week, read a picture book for five days, and do’booking’ for the rest of the day. It gives children a sense of accomplishment in reading letters and provides an opportunity to grow into a’lifetime reader’ in the future. Director Nam said, “Someone next door already reads thick books that older sisters and older brothers read”. In order for the child to become familiar with the letters, it should start by having them pick up a picture book.” “Study is basically’the ability to read long texts at a fixed time.’ Think of learning letters as an experience that expands your child’s thinking. Learning letters in a variety of fun ways and actively using picture books will increase your vocabulary. Vocabulary is the pillar that supports the child’s world.” By Kim Ji-yoon, staff reporter [email protected]
