ABCs of LITERATURE 

ABCs of Literature (K-1)
Teacher : Janiene Bishop
Wednesdays 10:15 - 11:15
$335 per semester (2 semester course)*

*There is an annual student fee for all students taking classes at Pacific Coast Learning Center. Some charter schools allow for this fee to be added to the cost of classes rather than being paid out-of-pocket by parents. If your charters agrees, you may add $40 per semester to your purchase order to cover student fees. You may select this option when you register for the class. 

This introductory course is designed for younger students who are just learning to read. The same books and assignments that are taught in our Lit for Littles program are adapted for new readers. Games, art projects, and group work will help lay a foundation for a lifelong love of literature!

Parents will read aloud one book per week with their students, working up to students reading books themselves. Simple homework assignments will be offered. The work load is entirely flexible, based on each student’s ability, and the teacher will work closely with parents to provide a personalized program that is challenging, but never overwhelming.

Some of the books and activities we will enjoy together are:

​Harold and the Purple Crayon ​by Crockett Johnson
How To Make An Apple Pie And See The World ​by Marjorie Priceman
Where the Wild Things Are​ by Maurice Sendak
The Thanksgiving Story ​by Alice Dalgliesh
The Pilgrims’ First Thanksgiving​ by Ann McGovern
The Most Wonderful Doll in the World b​y Phyllis McGinley
The Giving Tree​ by Shel Silverstein
