Read with the Best - American Literature Volume II: 1860-1950 Student Workbook

Read with the Best American Literature Vol. 2 is a 34 week curriculum that includes literature, extensive vocabulary, critical reading, critical analysis, critical thinking, writing (including an MLA style research paper), and SAT, ACT, CLEP, and AP preparation (see more about this below). Students who complete the curriculum can receive 2 1/4 high school credits or more in literature, composition/writing, and American history. The literature in this course was chosen not only for its literary and analytical quality, but for its moral and inspirational quality as well. Over 250 pages.

What else is unique about our program?1) Volume 2 starts with Civil War authors and ends in the late 1930's-1950's with writers of The Great Depression, World War II, and The Communist Red Scare.2) We use The Norton Anthology of American Literature, a book used in many freshman college classes.3) Students learn interesting facts about the lives of the authors before they read the material that they wrote. This helps them appreciate and understand their writing so much more.4) This course is also the equivalent of an SAT/ACT Verbal Preparation Course. SAT/ACT Guides and AP and CLEP Guides were used to write this curriculum.5) Hands-on activities are included in each lesson to ensure mastery and understanding of the content.6) Accommodations are made for students with special learning needs, so that students of all levels can complete this curriculum.
