CREW: Excellence in Literature
I have to admit, this is a tough review for us... but it's not because of the product...it's my kids! Well, not really my kids, but their age. Excellence in Literature is a program that is geared toward 8th-12th grade. Since we are only 6th grade, this was a bit above their level. We did attempt the first short story lessons and I do think it will be an awesome thing for us - in a couple of years! I will be hanging on to it and we will revisit it when they are older.
I love the way the classics are used. I love that it is a student led program. I love that it breaks down the steps in writing & I love that it gets them, not just reading great books, but writing in that mindset. I also love that it has an honors part of the program, for those that are real go-getters when it comes to literature!
Introduction to Literature is available on Excellence in Literature's website in ebook for for $27.

It's nice to have some things already decided for coming years, no? I am so glad to have this- it will come in handy for my ds when he hits high school (a few years still!). We are really liking the program with my dd (9th grader).
