독서 동아리: Norton Juster의 The Phantom Tollbooth

The Phantom Tollbooth is a brilliant fantasy about Milo, a bored ten-year-old who comes home one day to find a mysterious package waiting for him. Inside, he discovers a tollbooth, which he drives through simply because he has nothing better to do. But once he crosses through, everything changes. Milo enters a world where he visits the Island of Conclusions , learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and embarks on a thrilling quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason. Full of wit, wordplay, eccentric characters, and endless adventure, this classic is a must-read for every child.

In this class, we will help your child develop essential skills such as reading comprehension, vocabulary, figurative language, book analysis, character development, and social interaction. Each lesson will include an open discussion about the events in the assigned reading, new vocabulary, and the exploration of idioms, homophones, and the important lessons Milo learns on his journey. Students will be expected to read about 10 pages per day outside of class and come prepared to discuss the text. If time permits, we may read aloud together in class, though this is optional.
