5th Annual Summer Link Program Literary Elements - 8 Books

SHOE BOX Learning Center

Your child will read and learn with carefully selected books that teach 8 literary elements: setting, point of view, plot, characterization, theme, foreshadowing, flashback and figurative language. These unique lessons will model mindfulness of the elements and what your child will look for to be the best reader.
