Literature Analysis: What are Novel Ties?
Throughout a child's life, it is essential to incorporate reading and literature into their education, both at home and at school. As students develop strong reading habits, it is also important that they understand what is being read and learn to use reading as a tool to gain knowledge.
BriteMinds Literature Program utilizes literary study guides called Novel Ties. These guides ask questions and engage students in activities related to the novel to provide guidance and deeper meaning.
With Novel Ties, students:
- Review vocabulary
- Answer discussion questions
- Learn literary devices
- Participate in writing activities
- Discover interdisciplinary skills
These exercises strengthen reading comprehension skills and critical thinking strategies, as well as expanded vocabulary and literary techniques.
BriteMinds students appreciate literature-related activities because they support discoveries of relevant truths through biographies, fantasy, and even science fiction. Students understand what they read at a deeper level and acquire literary skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.
