This is the second section of my High School Literature List series. In the first one I covered American Literature. This one will cover World, including British literature choices for high school and beyond. Please keep in mind that these are just suggestions and I have not even read all of these myself.

He seems to be a whiz with his grammar and spelling so instead of doing just that I wanted to add in some literature as well.

Ava has been schooled in our home since the beginning, just like her brother. Unlike her brother, and their sister before them, Ava has been schooled differently.

To help not only myself, but my children as well, to be more methodical and critical of their own written works, I created checklists. This is my Fiction Proofreading Checklist. As I previously […]

In this series I will share with you some of the ways we are […]
Through the years I have struggled with how best to handle assigning and grading my children’s writing. I created this Non-Fiction Proofreading Checklist to help not only myself, but also to help my teenager look more critically over her own writing. Judging the written word can be daunting and scary. Are we being to hard? […]
