■ Background of Course Renewal
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
In recent years, middle school entrance exams, particularly for prestigious schools, have seen an increasing weight on descriptive questions year by year.
Beyond mere memorization of knowledge, there is a growing demand for comprehensive descriptive abilities such as:
・ Ability to accurately read problem statements
・ Ability to organize conditions and extract key points
・ Ability to explain logically
Furthermore, descriptive question formats are also increasing in science and social studies, making "writing ability" a fundamental skill common to all subjects.
On the other hand, many students face challenges like:
"Unable to convey correctly despite understanding"
"Writing but not earning points"
Recognizing the necessity of a systematic approach to these issues from an early stage, this class has been established.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
■ Why "Japanese Language" x "Calligraphy"?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Alongside descriptive ability, a crucial element often overlooked is "character legibility."
In entrance exams, "originally preventable losses" actually occur due to:
・ Difficulty in distinguishing characters
・ Misidentification of numbers
・ Deductions due to messy handwriting
The ability to write answers in legible and neat characters, in any situation, is a vital element supporting scoring ability.
And this skill cannot be acquired in a short period; it only becomes established through continuous accumulation from lower grades.
