ISBN : 9791195408092 96쪽 | 211 * 298 * 7 mm / 324 g How to actually use the 10-Day Hangul series — and the classroom stories behind it 10-Day Hangul Guidebook is a companion guide explaining how to teach and use 10-Day Hangul Reading, 10-Day Hangul Writing, 10-Day Hangul Cards, and 10-Day Hangul Play Field. Drawing on the Hunminjeongeum Haerye, it walks through the consonants' pictographic and stroke-addition principles (based on the shapes of the speech organs) and the vowels' heaven-earth-human principle along with the initial-forms and secondary-forms, organizing everything into ten stages — from basic consonants and vowels through final consonants, complex vowels, and simple sentences. Each stage explains not just what to teach but why, alongside what actually happened in the classroom. Why "ㄱ" should be read as "geu" rather than "giyeok"; the scarecrow character invented for students who couldn't tell vowels apart; the process of setting the stroke-addition principle to a 3-2-2 syllable rhythm so it could be recited like a sijo poem; a rhythm-based method for learning the representative sounds of final consonants — all of it grew out of trial and error while teaching multicultural students, transfer students, students with special needs, and students with low foundational literacy. The author, an elementary school teacher, has published nine Hangul learning books in total after encountering students in the classroom who hadn't yet mastered Hangul — the Ganada Hangul Textbook series, the poetry collection Gaja Gaja Hangul Nara, and now the 10-Day Hangul series. This guidebook weaves in the stories of the children met along that journey — from the heaviness of watching effort not pay off, to the moment a child's eyes lit up while sounding out letters haltingly for the first time. Recommended for teachers who teach Hangul, parents who want to teach their children, and anyone who wants to understand, from first principles, why Hangul is such an easy writing system to learn.
