Maker Introduction
I am a teacher who teaches English at school. I am also an instructor who provides professional training to teachers on reading education and in-depth classes. Ironically, even though I am an English teacher, I always emphasize the importance of the Korean language first.
After 22 years in the classroom, I have reached only one conclusion. Without strong thinking skills, or solid reasoning developed in one's native language, English will inevitably become an insurmountable barrier.
When all parents of 6th graders were swept up in the anxiety of preparing for middle school in advance and focused on academy level tests, I took the opposite approach. I put aside studying and sat on the sofa with my child to read "Taebaek Mountain Range (Youth Edition)" together.
In the midst of the great confusion of the future, if we do not want our children to become cunning monsters who only pursue their own interests, they must first grapple intensely with the moral dilemmas faced by the characters in "Taebaek Mountain Range." Raising a child who can empathize with others' pain and make the right choices for the community—this was the true goal of this reading project.
The results were astonishing. Not only did my child achieve the goals I set, but thanks to the reading and literacy skills developed during this period, my child was able to study independently throughout middle school without attending any academies, maintained perfect attendance for three years, and graduated at the top of the class. I now wish to share this experience with parents across the country.
[Who Should Fund / Who Should Not]
YES! Recommended: Those who wanted their child to read all 10 volumes of "Taebaek Mountain Range" but felt overwhelmed about guiding them; those who want to improve their child's literacy and real study skills lost to short-form content; parents and educators seeking deep humanities education to help establish life values.
NO! Not recommended: Those who want superficial reading by skimming a few pages of summaries; those who want simple, short-answer worksheets; those who only care about immediate test scores and cannot patiently wait for their child's growth.

Reason for Choosing Wadiz
Because we did not want to distribute workbooks that simply focus on finding the correct answers, like typical reading activity sheets on the market.
As a current teacher, I wanted to prove the value of 'true literacy' that establishes life values.
I also wanted to meet sincere parents and educators who share this vision before anyone else.
Additionally, Wadiz strictly complies with the Fixed Book Price Law.
It is the optimal platform that recognizes the value of e-books as pure creations of the maker.
Because this is the first exclusive launch on Wadiz, in addition to the legally allowed 10% discount on paper books,
there will be up to 76% off on e-books and special benefits for completing the Naver Cafe reading challenge, which
can be given back to supporters as gifts.
Future Funding Usage Plan
The Funding will be used as follows.
Your valuable Funding will be used to awaken literacy among Korean youth
and to help create a better society.
① GoGoMorning App Development
An app for reading reflection, where teenagers read books on their own every day and record their reflections,
and these records are compiled into their own personal book.
We will lay the technological foundation for a country where children enjoy reading books instead of short-form content.
② Donation to the Overseas Cultural Heritage Foundation
Remembering the history of those who shed blood to reclaim our lost country,
we will support projects to recover our cultural assets that have been taken abroad.
③ Donation to the children's ward
With the memory of my younger brother who battled childhood cancer close to my heart,
I want to support a reading app so that young lives currently fighting illness can read classics every day,
and become authors themselves.
Shipping Information
Shipping method: Books will be shipped via courier and the PDF booklet will be sent by email.
Shipping schedule: Within 3 to 5 days after Funding ends.
Inquiry channel: Within the Wadiz project
FAQ
Q1. How is this different from regular reading activity sheets or essay workbooks on the market?
While most textbooks on the market focus on summary or rote-answer 'cramming problem solving,' this booklet is a guide for humanities reflection, designed with the expertise of a teacher with 22 years of experience.
Each activity sheet follows a sophisticated three-step structure: [① In-depth character exploration ➔ ② Analysis of historical dilemmas ➔ ③ Connecting to the daily lives of today's youth].
The conflicts in the books are closely connected to the realities children live in today, such as 'discrimination and respect for diversity in schools (volumes 2–3),' 'youth exercising their rights (volume 6),' and 'unification and peace (volume 10),' fostering true literacy that goes beyond simple knowledge acquisition to help form life values.
Q2. Why is the discount rate for the All-in-One Full Package paper books only 10%? Is there no additional discount?
This project strictly complies with the Republic of Korea's fixed book price law.
Accordingly, the paper book 《Taebaek Mountain Range (Youth Edition)》 from Haenam Publishing included in the package is discounted by the legal maximum of 10% (150,000 KRW ➔ 135,000 KRW), the same as at online and offline bookstores.
Instead, to provide supporters with unprecedented benefits, we have combined the price of the [Slow Reading Booklet (e-book)] created directly by Teacher GoGoMorning at a dramatic discount of up to 76% for Super Early Bird. This is a legal and unique price available only through the exclusive first launch on Wadiz.
Q3. With such a large volume of 10 books, can my child finish reading without getting tired?
Yes, we have prepared a perfect pacemaker system to ensure completion.
At the beginning of each volume, we thoroughly organize the complex character relationships (Yeom Sang-jin, Kim Beom-woo, Ha Dae-chi, Lee Ji-sook, etc.) to completely lower the entry barrier.
Above all, supporters who purchase the materials collection will have free access to the [Naver Cafe: GoGoMorning] Complete Reading Challenge.
It is easy to give up halfway when reading alone, but when you read together with friends and parents from all over the country in the cafe, sharing your progress, you will experience the miracle of conquering the great mountain of finishing 10 books.
Q4. How can I use the e-book (PDF) materials collection? Can I print it out?
This materials collection is provided as a PDF file.
You can use it smartly by writing directly with an electronic pen on a pad or tablet PC, and you are free to print as many copies as needed at home or in educational settings to use as paper activity sheets.
However, the provided Reward is a 'single-user license' for home use and children's education, so it cannot be distributed in bulk or used for classes in educational institutions such as academies or schools.
Please contact GoGoMorning Humanities Classics Research Institute.
Q5. Is it suitable for upper elementary school students to read? What is the recommended age?
This project primarily targets students from 5th and 6th grade of elementary school to middle and high school students.
Since it is based on the 'Haenam Publishing Youth Edition' of the original work by the master author Jo Jung-rae, tailored to the perspective of young readers, the sentences and expressions are much smoother.
In addition, heavy topics in modern and contemporary history, such as 'Refusal of Unjust Orders and Moral Courage' in volume 7 and 'The Social Responsibility of Intellectuals' in volume 8, are addressed with age-appropriate questions so that young people can fully reflect on them, making this the best catalyst for students who want to start deep humanistic thinking and essay preparation.
