Teach literature through life. Not worksheets.
Reading comprehension doesn’t have to feel forced, scripted, or disconnected from real learning.
Reading Literature Through Real Life shows you how to teach essential literature skills through the stories your child is already reading and the conversations you’re already having. Instead of isolating skills with worksheets, this guide helps you live the lesson through modeling, discussion, and real-world connections.
This is not a curriculum.
It’s a flexible teaching tool that works with any book, read-aloud, or reading program.
