Literature At Our House teaches children to love literature.
While reading the best children’s novels and classics of world literature, students learn principles and techniques to help them to fully experience and clearly understand what the work has to offer. The discussions, tie-ins to history, connections to art and poetry, and fun writing assignments have one goal: help the students respond in a deeply meaningful and emotional way to the characters and stories – to make those characters and powerful moments last with them for the rest of their lives. |
