Educational Approach: Literature Based

Your home has 16 times more teaching hours than does the university. What do you want to do with this time?

Literature based programs can provide several advantages over traditional textbooks

They are more engaging. Rather than read a single paragraph on an historical event, students can read a short story or book that helps them vicariously live the events themselves.
They can accomplish multiple purposes at once (build vocabulary, explore a variety of writing styles, learn about different cultures, etc.)
They help students learn how to think rather than tell them what to think.
Older books can provide modeling and reinforcement to assist in character training.
Books are more accessible to parents than textbooks and encourage parental involvement.
