My daughter just finished Essentials in Literature Level 9. I want to say that I’ve been very impressed by well this literature curriculum has been put together. The lessons are short and to the point and each activity is very clear. She wasn’t too fond of me adding a literature program this year, but over the year she has learned so much! In the past we just read through a lot of novels and completed study guides. I know there’s nothing wrong with that, but she now understands so much about what goes into literature; plot, conflict, setting, characters, etc. She has even been talking about this with the novels she reads for pleasure! Most of all I’m so glad I don’t have to teach it. You do a great job and I just want to say, “Thank you!”
