Yikes! That sounds intimidating but keep reading; we love what the Center for Lit family has done for literature study.
This is not a typical curriculum in that there is no textbook, student workbook, or answer key.
Instead, this is a seminar for parents. These resources equip parents with the tools they need to guide their children through the process of literary analysis.
