## What is Gomgom?

Gomgom is an AI reading and writing coach that keeps children on paper and pencil instead of a screen. For grades 4 through 9, one piece a day: read, think, write.

This is not an app you leave running. The passage prints to A4 and is read on paper. The thinking is written by hand, on paper. The app is opened only to photograph the finished page and let Gomgom ask a question about it. No screen-time guilt — just the habit of sitting with paper and pencil.

Gomgom the bear never hands over the answer. It asks the kind of question that makes a child push their own thinking one step further.

Please note: Gomgom is a Korean-language app. The reading passages, the coaching conversations, and the entire interface are in Korean. This listing is in English so Korean-speaking families abroad can find it.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Read the passage — social studies, science, literature, and ethics texts matched to your child's grade, printed on paper (every passage has a PDF print button)
2. Take a stance — decide whether you agree with the writer's claim
3. Write your reasons — put down why you think what you think
4. Talk it through with Gomgom — answer Gomgom's questions and sharpen the thought
5. Keep it as a finished piece — reading, thinking, and writing stack up as a learning record

FOR PARENTS
- Reading happens on paper. Screen reading is not the default; the app is for what comes after — talking the thinking through and keeping the record.
- No ads. There are none anywhere in the app.
- Minimal data from your child. Sign-up and payment run through the parent account, and the child uses only a nickname and a grade. We do not collect a child's real name or date of birth.

WHAT IT BUILDS
- Thinking: separating a claim from its evidence, and holding a position of your own
- Literacy: the habit of reading a grade-level passage calmly, all the way to the end
- Writing: one complete read-think-write cycle a day

FEATURES
- Korean reading passages by grade, for upper elementary and middle school
- Print (PDF) button — one or two A4 pages with the grade, title, and discussion questions
- Socratic conversation with Gomgom, in child-appropriate Korean with safety guardrails
- A light comprehension quiz on what was read
- A learning and growth record parents can open

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 3.8.2 — 2026-09-19

Gomgom 3.8.2 — We read what your child actually wrote

• Handwriting photos are no longer penalised for spacing or spelling errors introduced during transcription. We grade what your child put on paper.
• The same piece of writing now receives the same score every time.
• Copying the passage no longer earns praise for "summarising well".
• Gomgom stops repeating the same question, quotes what your child just said, and calls them by name.
• When a child says "I don't know", Gomgom steps down to an easier question.
• If the conversation drifts, Gomgom gently returns to the writing.
• Readings and the journal show a placeholder instead of a blank screen while loading.
• The parent report now says when grading fell back to a quick check.

Less screen, more thinking.
