Introducing Literary Criticism (Or Book Clubs: The Next Level!)

Nothing kills a child’s love of reading faster than having to “dissect” and analyze every book they read; however, we know that we eventually need to cover the finer points of literary criticism. So, how do we teach literary analysis without turning it into a mind-numbing and tedious process? That’s easy: use your child’s book group discussions to painlessly introduce terms like plot, theme, and conflict. In this class, Katie will show you how to teach your children more sophisticated ways of talking about literature, hidden in the guise of fun and easy book group discussions! She’ll also give suggestions for books that readily lend themselves to discussions of basic literary terms.
