​Do your kids love reading, but you frown at the idea of coming up with comprehension questions and vocabulary words for all the stories and novels you read together?

Do you struggle picking out the figurative language and literary elements in literature?

Let me help you make literature your “friend” instead of your “foe” by teaching your child literature at Summit Academy!

A little background information about me:
  • B.S. in Early Childhood Education from Mercer University
  • Taught in public school, private school, preschool, and homeschooled my own children
  • Tutored reading, grammar, and high school chemistry
  • Trained at The Autism Treatment Center of America – The Son-Rise Program
  • Tutored autistic child
  • Taught art and after-school art program to preschoolers
Here are some of the interesting activities we do in Literature:

  • Share literary circle jobs
  • Discuss & locate figurative language such as:  similes, metaphors, personification, alliteration, etc.
  • Discuss & analyze literature
  • Learn about the 5 elements of Literature:  character, setting, conflict, plot, and theme
  • Write poetry
  • Answer comprehension questions
  • Complete vocabulary exercises

​My Literature Explorations class will strengthen a love for literature by “exploring” literature with me.
​
​My Literature Foundations class will enhance literature skills and “dig deeper” in literature as students create a strong foundation of literature.
