Crafts, activities, discussion, games, worksheets & play are typical classroom activities in our literature class. Elementary classes are not graded, but fun and interactive learning. In our Jr. High classes, we strive to introduce your students to some of the skills of analysis they’ll need in the upcoming high school years.

Covering abridged versions of the classics, biographies and some really fun literature, we’ll gallop the globe across the modern world of children’s literature.
