Teaching must-know literary elements is easy with this unique set!

The Spotlight On… program is designed to help students become better and more enthusiastic readers and writers. When students know they’ll be asked to share later with classmates about a story they’ve just read, they usually read with more concentration. When, at the same time, students are expected to look especially for a certain element of literature in the story, such as setting or theme or point of view, they become more sophisticated readers. They are better able to understand how and why a particular story works and become more appreciativeof good writing. For grades 4-8.

Box set includes:

• 48 student anthologies (6 copies of 8 books, 48 pages each) filled with carefully chosen short stories, poems, and plays that illustrate specific literary elements
• 96 page teaching guide includes mini-lessons, graphic organizers, student reproducibles, and great activity ideas

Each book covers a different literary element: character, figurative language, foreshadowing and flashback, plot, point of view, setting, theme, tone and mood.
