The first volume in the Ready Readers series provides a discussion of ten children’s picture books. 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.
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.
This exciting resource is appropriate for use with students of all ages, depending on their needs:
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.
