What are Essentials in Literature’s Corrective Plans?

Essentials in Literature is a complete video-based literature curriculum for students in grades 7-11. We have designed corrective plans that will act as an online literature tutor to your child and give them the tools they need to catch up to grade level. The literature courses are broken down into four units with each unit focusing on a different type of literature.

The objectives of corrective teaching go beyond academic improvement; they include fostering confidence, boosting self-esteem, and promoting a positive attitude towards learning. One of the primary benefits of corrective teaching is its ability to provide a customized learning experience.

General notes about using the Essentials in Literature corrective plan:

  • If an activity/section is not listed on the plan, students are expected to skip that activity/section.
  • It is suggested that the student create a Reader’s Notebook or Resource Book in which they will record notes that will serve as a study guide and aid to help them complete assignments and assessments. (Suggested items for Reader’s Notebook include the following: definitions of literature terms, vocabulary words, charts, examples of figurative language, etc.)
  • Stories and any necessary text may be read aloud to the student.
    Use notes/text to complete activities.
  • Adjust grading to reflect individual student goals.
  • Any suggested written responses may be completed through discussion.
  • It is not necessary to complete every activity listed in this plan. The teacher may determine which selections may be omitted.
