Students will explore engaging literature through thoughtful discussion, guided analysis, and collaborative conversations. Each unit focuses on a carefully selected book, encouraging students to examine characters, themes, writing style, historical context, and the deeper ideas presented by the author. Through Socratic discussion, students will develop critical thinking skills, strengthen reading comprehension, and learn to express their ideas with confidence. Optional reading guides and at-home activities are available for families who would like to extend learning beyond the classroom.
