Volume 2 adds ten more picture books to our Ready Readers: Children’s Literature series!!

**New! Spiral binding makes this book easier to open and reference while teaching.

Many parents and teachers have asked us for a set of example lessons to help them apply the Teaching the Classics model in their classes.

Ready Readers: Children's Literature fills this need with complete discussion notes for 10 classic picture books. Each lesson includes a full set of Socratic discussion questions with comprehensive answers keyed to the text.  Questions cover Conflict, Plot, Setting, Characters, Theme, Literary Devices, and Context. In addition, a completed Story Chart graphically outlines the major structural and thematic elements of each story.

This exciting resource is appropriate for use with students of all ages, depending on their needs:

READING COMPREHENSION

Ready Readers helps develop good reading comprehension in the very youngest students.  It encourages them to ponder well-designed questions about structure, style, context, and theme in every story they read.

LITERARY ANALYSIS

Though the books discussed here were written for children, they provide excellent examples of the structural elements common to all stories.  They are therefore useful even in discussions with older students, who read at a higher level, but may be new to the techniques of literary analysis.
