Perfectly aligned with the 2022 revised curriculum applied after 7 years,
《Mastering Hangul in 30 Days for 1st Graders》 sets a new standard for Hangul learning books.
Starting in 2024, the new curriculum, the '2022 Revised Curriculum', has been applied to educational settings after 7 years. The most significant change in the 2022 revised curriculum is undoubtedly in the Korean language curriculum for 1st and 2nd graders. The newly published revised edition of 《Mastering Hangul in 30 Days for 1st Graders》 follows the basic grammatical structure based on the principles of Hangul creation, just like the new 1st-grade Korean textbooks. Instead of starting with ㄱㄴㄷ or 가갸거겨, it teaches Hangul by first learning basic vowels, then consonants, followed by final consonants in a systematic order. Therefore, children who experience learning Hangul with this book will be able to study Hangul in their 1st-grade classrooms in the same flow as the book. 《Mastering Hangul in 30 Days for 1st Graders》 consists of 6 units, totaling 30 steps, and has the following features: 4 pages a day, step-by-step Hangul practice.
The processes of 'phonemic awareness, reading, and writing', which are emphasized in the 2022 revised curriculum, are practiced in a systematic 4-step process. The learning content varies slightly by unit, but generally consists of 〈Step 1: Learning Sounds and Letters - Step 2: Reading Words - Step 3: Completing Words - Step 4: Writing Practice〉. Follow the flow of first knowing the phonetic values, then completing the letters on your own, and finishing with writing practice.
Learn by grouping similar sounds!
Applying the scientific principles of Hangul learned in the newly established category of 'Basics of Hangul and Korean Norms' in the 2022 revised curriculum, students learn by grouping letters like ‘ㄱ, ㅋ, ㄲ’ and ‘ㄴ, ㄷ, ㅌ, ㄸ’ together. By grouping letters by shape and pronunciation, students can learn Hangul much more systematically and quickly. By looking at pictures of mouth shapes while reading Hangul, they can quickly connect the sounds of the letters and read Hangul.
Magical metacognitive writing practice
The process of writing letters, words, and sentences in the 2022 revised curriculum is further subdivided into metacognitive learning methods. Through step-by-step writing activities such as writing only vowels, writing only consonants, and writing full letters, students can use their brains in a three-dimensional way while learning the structure of letters. Instead of unconsciously repeating writing, 'thoughtful writing' allows students to check the letters they do not know again, making writing a much more enjoyable activity.
Read meaningless words to fully acquire Hangul!
If you can read meaningless words like 그루고, 오브러, 돕수러 without any hinting pictures, then you have completely mastered the letters of that unit. This prevents the habit of guessing words, such as reading '호랑이' as '고양이', and helps develop accurate reading habits.
Fun playtime!
With 120 stickers included, students can stick stickers as they read, making learning Hangul enjoyable. Through unit reviews like word puzzles, hidden word searches, and end-word mazes, they can joyfully learn even the letters they were unsure about and move on to the next unit.
Perfect preparation for 1st grade with textbook vocabulary
If the main text of 《Mastering Hangul in 30 Days for 1st Graders》 lacks activities for writing letters and words, utilize the appendices added in the revised edition. Through 〈Writing Hangul with Textbook Vocabulary〉, which includes vocabulary from the revised 1st-grade textbooks, students will gain confidence in their school lessons.
