Reading literature that has endured the test of time, the classics, is important for many reasons:<\/p>\n Children love learning from the rich stories of the past. At Veritas, they will learn to love language and expression, they will understand the art of storytelling. Children who are immersed in good literature as young children develop creative minds and an enjoyment of lifelong reading. Who doesn\u2019t remember\u00a0Charlotte\u2019s Web, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Tom Sawyer,<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The Chronicles of Narnia<\/em>\u00a0with great fondness?<\/p>\n Kindergarten and first grade start slowly and build as students mature. By second grade, they\u2019ll read about 10 books a year. Most are children\u2019s classic literature. Veritas\u2019s comprehension guides are used to teach children how to read for comprehension, fluency, learn how to discern the plot, who the characters are, and much more. Most of all, literature courses inspire a love of reading. Fun, hands on projects are used to help inculcate such a love.<\/p>\n The literature program is enhanced by students\u2019 accelerated mastery of language through studies in Latin and Grammar and Writing. These advantages translate into reading books earlier than many of their peers and before many educators think possible.<\/p>\n This benefit is further leveraged as they move beyond grammar school and into studying the Great Books through the Omnibus curriculum.<\/p>\n When you think about it, literature, even for the young student, is much more than just reading.<\/p>\n \u201cThe more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you\u2019ll go.\u201d \u2013 Dr. Seuss<\/em><\/p>\n [1]\u201cWhy Do Kids Need Books?\u201d The National Children\u2019s Book and Literacy Alliance,\u00a0http:\/\/thencbla.org\/advocacy\/why-do-kids-need-books\/<\/a>.
