Literature Based Writing Classes

I have already heard back from several of you regarding our literature based writing classes, and others of you may still be working on final scheduling decisions, so I just wanted to let you know that I am ordering novels for our classes on Monday.  If you sign your child up for a class after that day, you will be responsible to provide the novel for your child.  As long as your child has been added to the a class list by Monday, the novel will be provided on the first day of class.

Also, all of the novels that we are studying this semester are titles that have an optional companion Total Language Plus study guide.  Some of you have already purchased a study guide for your child to complete while taking our class, but others of you may not even be aware of this option.  The TLP study guide provides daily drill exercises in comprehension questions, vocabulary, spelling, and grammar dictations that correlate with the novel.  As you already know, our classes provide thorough literary analysis, writing, and critical thinking; however, we do NOT provide vocabulary and spelling instruction.  The study guide, along with our class, provides a very comprehensive language arts curriculum all based on the novel your child is studying.  The study guide is not required; it is completely optional.  You know what additional studies you are working on at home; therefore, you know if this is something that will benefit your child or not.  Parents oversee the instruction of the study guide.

I will order the study guides so that you may pick them up on the first day of class.  I just need to know how many to order.  The cost is $25.00 (includes tax and shipping).  You may pay me on the first day of class when you pick up your study guide.  Please simply reply to this email if you would like to purchase a study guide.  If you have any questions about using this guide along with our class, please feel free to contact me.

We’re looking forward to getting started in just a couple of weeks! 

Warmly,

Kris
