    Choosing Literature for Your Child
    A few years ago I was reading Jane Eyre, which was required for a literature unit study we were using with one of my students. A male colleague saw that I was reading the book and responded, "Ooooh, I had to read that book in high school - for some reason." For him, it was an unpleasant assignment. It would be hard indeed for an English teacher to find a book that every student enjoyed.

    In contrast, it is easier to find literature for an individual student. Historical fiction? Pirates? Romance? Animal stories? There are numerous stories for each one's personal preferences. Complete ARTICLE on Choosing Literature for Your Child

    How to study Literature Great literature is at the heart of every great education. And with homeschooling you not only can provide the best of literature, but you can select the stories and plots that will enthuse and motivate your student. See below for more information on how to choose literature.

    But studying literature is not the same as reading a story. Yes, you read it, and probably enjoy the reading. In addition, studying literature also involves reflection, analysis, and the presentation of one's own evaluation. Uh oh, sound a little to scary and a little too academic? Relax, we have prepared a simple guide which will make your literature program an adventure, and not a chore. Click here for guide to studying elements of literature at each age
