One of the things that school parents of elementary schoolchild most concern about is 'How can we make our child study by her/himself?'. Self-directed study, it quite seems to be very simple but actually it is not so easy for schoolchildren to study by themselves. That is why we published the Daily Habits Workbook for elementary upper grades which develops the habits of elementary school children in order to be the first step in self-directed study.
Daily Habits Workbook for elementary upper grades is composed of two books, one for parents and one for children. Firstly, with parents book, parents learn the importance of habits and theories about the way of using the children book well. Moreover, the book contains the quetions that the writer(Ms. Lee Eun Kyung) has been frequently asked school parents and the answers of that questions. The workbook, which is for children, is made for elementary schoolchild to be able to have habits of studying, reading, writing, one-day vocabulary, living and mind through various of everyday activities. Children might be able to think this book not as 'studying book' but as one of the interesting activities they have to do on that day because they can use this book as a diary or a planner.
By the activities of planning, doing, cheking the daily study plan, writing good sentences of the book that children read that day, developing creativity and ability of writing by one-sentence writing, memorizing each one word of English and Chinese character, keeping self-promises of arrangement and screen time and promising by myself to have healthy mental, children will naturally have habits and it would be connected to self-directed studying and living. Furthermore, we put rewards for children so that they can feel interests in this book. For upper grades, children can collect points and can receive various and interesting coupons. We contained the coupons in the very back page of the book so that parents do not have to make coupons inconveniently. By daily workbook activities that children do not because their parents make them to but because they like, children would naturally live elementary school life wisely directed by themselves.
