The Five Children Who Taught Me Hangul A 10-Year Study That Began in a Second-Grade Classroom In the spring of 2012, a teacher taking on a new second-grade class encountered an unexpected reality: five children in her class could not read Hangul. This is a nonfiction account of the ten-year journey that began that day. Dozens of handmade worksheets, after-school sessions, and endless dictation drills brought little change. "Is something wrong with the way I'm teaching?" — that single question led the author into a study of the creation principles of Hunminjeongeum, and ultimately to the birth of a new kind of Hangul textbook. What This Book Holds The helplessness of facing five students who could not read Hangul, all in one classroom The story of a girl from Mongolia who mastered Hangul in just two weeks — and ended up healing her teacher in return The lingering regret over a boy from Mexico who, despite everyone's best efforts, never fully learned to read A research journey sparked by a single line from Jeong In-ji's preface to the Hunminjeongeum Haerye: "Even the slow-witted can learn it within ten days" The birth of Ganada Hangul Textbook and 10 Days to Hangul: Reading & Writing — Hangul's letter-creation principles, translated into a child's eye view The most important truth about teaching, taught to the author by one child who never did learn to tell 'ㅏ' from 'ㅓ' apart 📖 Meet the very textbook born in Chapter 9 of this book. 10 Days to Hangul, Learned Through the Principles of Hunminjeongeum: Reading — Read this story first to see how experience became theory, and theory became a textbook. Once you have, every part of the curriculum's design will make far deeper sense.
