Practical Homeschooling Part 2: Digging into Literature

Reading is one of the joys most home school parents want to pass onto their children. We read aloud. We teach reading. We listen to our dear ones read. That I would say is one of the greatest joys of the early years! But as they mature, the joys turn to discussions of the characters, setting, plot, themes, literary structure, biblical allusions, etc. Do you know how to find these things in the literature your children are reading. How do you find good literature? What are living books? What is twaddle? What are the questions to ask my child as we read together. Will this ruin the enjoyment of reading? Is reading different in non fiction than fiction?

All home school parents are invited to come have fun together and learn the answers to some of these questions. Bring your pencil as we will look into a favorite children's story to work out how much we can find by digging into it. You never knew how much treasure was in Peter Rabbit!

Monday, March 29 from 6:00-8:00pm at Heritage Bible Church.
