Classic literature we read today has "stood the test of time." References, movies, and images that appear in everyday life from these books are intwined in part of our culture because of deep meaning these writers have evoked over the decades and centuries. I hold a current MA Ed. and enjoy watching students discover as they read quality material. I have taught and tutored reading across all grade levels K-12 since 1996.Reviews
