Description: The Reading Cards are a children's Hanja (Chinese character) learning set developed using Glenn Doman's flash card learning method. Made of premium art paper with double-sided matte security lamination, the cards are durable and resistant to creasing. Glenn Doman's flash card learning theory holds that when an object is shown to a child for just an instant, the child absorbs the image directly into memory—almost like taking a photograph—through the power of intuitive perception and instinct. With the Hanja Reading Cards, a picture is shown briefly on the front of the card to a child aged 0 to 5, then the card is flipped so the parent can read the Hanja character aloud in their own living voice. This combination of visual and auditory input helps integrate image memory and language memory into a single unified memory trace. By first recognizing the object and then seeing the character, the learning effect is further enhanced. The set is organized into four stages: Stage 1 - Basic Hanja Characters (240 characters), Stage 2 - Basic Hanja Words (120 words), Stage 3 - Sentences (12 sentences), and Stage 4 - Books. Hanja characters are abstract symbols that carry both meaning (hun) and sound (eum). This set is designed to help children first learn the meaning and sound of 240 individual basic Hanja characters, then naturally build up to words (Hanja compounds) and sentences, eventually enabling them to read books written in Hanja. The vocabulary includes 150 Hanja characters corresponding to Levels 7 and 8 (reading-only) of the Hanja Proficiency Test, as well as a substantial number of characters at the Grade 3 elementary school level.
