Course Curriculum



What is in an Online Book Club?

Rabbit Trails

We will go on rabbit trails of discovery. We will hop off the traditional roads of literature studies and meander down paths about pop-culture, history, biographies, poetry, music and more. We will take deep dives into some of the subjects touched on in the in plays and broaden our minds with new adventures.

Magic Dust

We will also bring literature to life by sprinkling a bit of magic dust along the way. These hands-on projects will take us into the plays through science, art, games and more. We will touch, see, feel and learn about the book through the activities.

Play Time!!

The pinnacle of the Shakespeare Book Club experience is the live performance! At the end of each literature study, we will celebrate by attending a theatrical performance. If a performance isn't available in your area, we include options for watching a recorded performance.

Frequently Asked Questions


What ages of children is the book club for?
The plays of Shakespeare have topics and activities that would be appropriate for middle school and high school.
What supplies will we need?
We will be following the book How To Teach Your Children Shakespeare by Ken Ludwig. You will also need one of the following: Tales from Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb, Stories from Shakespeare by Geraldine McCaughrean, or The Children's Shakespeare by E. Nesbit. You may also want a notebook for notes and vocabulary.
What are the dates of the book club?
This is a self-paced course. There are no starting or ending dates. Feel free to use at your leisure.
How long do I have access to the course?
After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own for the lifetime of Literary Adventures for Kids.
How long should this course take?
The book club is set up on a lesson by lesson basis. It can take as much or as little time as you and your child feel you want to spend. That said, the original design is for a month of study. However, I recommend you choose which projects will be a good fit for your child and not feel obligated to complete all lessons.

Yes, this course is designed for children to complete mostly independently. However, I recommend parents review the course before their children begin.
Can this be used for more than one child or as a family course?
Absolutely! We are a homeschooling family, and we encourage all our children to participate in book clubs. Often we will read the book together as a family read-aloud and then work through the rabbit trails and magic dust together.
Can this be used in a co-op setting?
Yes. Please contact me at [email protected] for information about school and co-op licensing.
What if I have questions or need help?
