Each volume in the Ready Readers series provides complete discussion notes for a collection of classic stories, including questions from the Socratic List on all major structural and stylistic elements: conflict, plot, characters, setting, theme, context and literary devices. Each question is answered in full with references to the text. Ready Readers also provides completed story charts and a short author biography for each title.
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.
