I really like this book and it meets the need for high school level American literature. The only thing I don't like is that the answers are also in the book which means I must copy the lessons. It would be so much more user friendly if a separate, small "answer key" book was provided. Answers are on the back of some of the lessons, so they cannot be easily removed from the book.

Review 4 for Learning Language Arts Through Literature: American Lit. Gold Book
Overall Rating:
Date:August 3, 2010
I like the works chosen in this book for the high school level. It does have good thought provoking questions and covers literary terms very well. The disadvantage of this as an American Literature overview is that it does not discuss the literary periods, something that a student should be familiar with if he is college bound. For that BJU's American Lit or James Stobaugh's American Literature would be useful.

My 15 year old daughter says that it is really advanced but that she likes it. We have always used another program so this is a bit different.

This is a really good curriculum. My daughter is in 11th grade and it is challenging for her yet she is basically doing it on her own with my oversight. Lot's of good classic stories with thought provoking questions. The only complaint I have is trying to locate all the books needed when you need them! You really have to plan ahead if you are going to use the public library. We ended up purchasing a lot of the books due to not being able to find them when needed. I plan on using this with my other kids when they reach High school.
