Overview

The book is based upon the education mentor Park Mingeun’s twenty years of experience in teaching writing, by mixing neuroscience with psychology to help children discover the fun in writing.

Book Intro

(English) Synapse Elementary Writing

“Look at the face of the child writing right now!” The reason why we need to put “fun” before anything else when teaching writing is based on the most basic principle of human brain development. Whatever it is, it has to be fun for the brain to want to do it often. And the brain does better what it does more frequently. This very simple, but important principle in brain development also applies to writing. Children must have fun writing for them to write more—and the more they write, the better they get. So even a single experience of writing must be fun. The joy and pleasure they feel while writing further strengthens the synapse (the data processing circuit in the brain) involved in writing, and eventually makes the child write better. Rather than just force the child to write, it is the parent’s job to think of how to help the child have more fun writing.

In Synapse Elementary Writing, which is based on this principle, Park Mingeun suggests a six-stage method for parents to teach their children how to write, in a fun and easy way. This method is customized to the individual child by considering the child’s personality, characteristics, development stage and strengths. The book introduces a wide variety of ways to help children of all ages write. For toddlers, the writer suggests taking advantage of the child’s instinct to mimic its surroundings and to freely express itself and naturally bring out the child’s writing instinct. When children begin to learn the alphabet before starting school, the book suggests ways to help children accept and familiarize themselves with the letters and find delight and beauty in them. It also shares ways for children to naturally write about various topics they experience in their lives, including fairy tales, nursery rhymes and artworks, while reflecting the child’s curiosity and interests. It further introduces methods that help students with their studies, such as ways to take notes, memorize and make study plans—things which become necessary as the child advances to the upper grades, in addition to ways to handle various assignments, such as dictation, book reports and essays on any topic. In an age of remote online education, the gap in education is growing wider and people are showing more interest in home-schooling. Synapse Elementary Writing is a home-schooling bible that parents can refer to in order to lead their children onto a path of true learning and help them grow to become a creative and talented person.

About the Author

He served as the president of a major psychological counseling center for a number of years and is currently teaching bibliotherapy at Sejong Cyber University. Park noticed that learning was most effective when the child felt joy while studying and so he focused on introducing methods of reading and writing that strengthen the child’s optimism and self-directedness by considering the individual child’s psychological and emotional state.
