Product Description
From the Publisher:
Ready Readers is based on the Teaching the Classics approach to reading, which involves working with stories at or below a student’s reading level. While the volumes in this series are appropriate to the reading level of a specific age group, they can be applied to grades at their reading level and up.
Many parents and teachers asked 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.
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.
