The Programs

Our Mechanics & Literature programs teach:

  • grammar,
  • punctuation,
  • literary devices,
  • and more through living literature!

The big reveal is also exciting for you because these are:

  • books your family will read aloud together and treasure all year
  • books that naturally teach all the stuff you worry about! (See above!)

Selecting the Books

Here at Brave Writer, we take the selection of these book titles Very Seriously!

All year, we read, discuss, and delight in the year’s latest fiction as well as relishing the classics.

  • We aim for diversity of authorship and protagonists
  • We incorporate a variety of genres: fantasy, poetry, nonfiction, historical fiction and the classics
  • We carefully orchestrate the sequence of the books
  • We balance book length against the holiday demands of a given month
  • We alternate moving, poignant books with silly, lighthearted books
  • We launch the year with a sure-fire winner and end with a warmhearted one

By the time we’ve settled on a book list, we’re chomping at the bit to share it with you!

You can expect a lively, inspired reading journey.

Bring your kids! They love guessing and seeing the books revealed! 

And yes, there will be confetti! Count on it!
