This study explores the potential for educational application by analyzing grammatical patterns in children’s English literature, specifically Part-of-Speech-gram (PoS-gram). It aims to contribute to the development of effective educational materials for the “Reading English Literature” course, which is part of the revised Korean National English Curriculum of 2015 and 2022. The PoS-gram and Key PoS-gram in the Corpus of Children’s English Literature (CCEL), compiled from Project Gutenberg and freely available, were analyzed using WordSmith Tools 8.0. Prior to this, TagAnt was used for part-of-speech tagging of both the CCEL and the British National Corpus. The analysis revealed that personal pronouns (PRP) and particles (RP) were frequently used in the CCEL. In the five multi-word PoS-gram analysis, prepositional phrases starting with RP were frequently observed, suggesting a relation to the use of phrasal verbs. The frequent use of personal pronouns and phrasal verbs is a characteristic of register in fiction and conversation. The Key PoS-gram analysis indicated that phrases beginning with the third-person singular present tense (VBZ) were predominantly used, while existential sentences (there) were relatively infrequent. The educational importance of emphasizing phrasal verbs and the present tense in grammar instruction needs to be highlighted. This study contributes to the development of suitable educational materials for English literature education through a systematic analysis of the grammatical features of the CCEL.
