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.
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.
Volume Two adds ten more picture books to our Ready Readers: Children’s Literature series! This package includes the titles reviewed in the guide.
Although the content is primarily useful as a tool for teaching K-3 students the basics of literary structure and style, it is also helpful for introducing older students to literary analysis at a more approachable level.
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.
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.
