Literature so rich you'll want to read it too!

Unique in approach to all of our other Reader and Literature programs, Literature 200 includes our most diverse collection of classics.

Due to the nature of our Core 200—History of God's Kingdom, we do not coordinate the Literature 200 titles with History 200. This gives us the wonderful flexibility to assemble many of the world's most cherished classics, into a unique, exclusive Literature program. Our Language Arts program coordinates with the Literature and is included in the Core 200 Instructor Guide.

  • Meet the ghost of Christmas Past who transformed a lonely life.
  • Muse on an ancient myth to discern more clearly your reason for action.
  • Encounter the wordly wise man, the slough of despond and Vanity Fair.

Excitement, adventure, and timeless drama await your children as they "crack open" the covers and dive into these "classics." We mix modern greats with older classics to keep your children inspired.
