Hi home-schoolers!

• We solve Socrates’ Puzzle: How can students work with English concepts if they don't know them?

  • Access our comprehensive Glossary Of Literary Devices which explains curriculum terms with definitions and examples.
  • Our Eng-Codes® make it possible for students to identify and mark these literary devices in the texts they study to demonstrate what they know. They Eng-Code® their own writing to demonstrate their achievement.
  • Students learn this content through a sequence of bite-sized lessons and engaging, open-ended activities.

Our lessons teach students how to:

• Recognise 'topic-specific language' in literature.
• Transform these published language into personal expressions to avoid plagiarism and develop a personal literary style.
• Analyse the purpose of literary devices to discover how they add layers of meaning to texts.
• Engage readers by experimenting with curriculum-aligned literary devices.

In our courses, students learn to adapt their language to suit different contexts. This equips them to recognise and apply nuanced vocabulary in real-world situations, opening doors to new opportunities.

• Discover how to hear an author's message in classroom texts.
• Engage in Socratic questioning to think critically about these messages and recall life experience to formulate a view.
• Use our curriculum-aligned scaffolds to sequence ideas to make a point.

Literature is an art form just like paintings, music, and drama. In our courses, we encourage students to interpret texts themselves and articulate a thesis: an opinion, or point of view. From this position, students learn to craft authentic responses by mimicking published language and literary devices to excel in English.

• Plan a progression of thought that makes a point.
• Discover how to select which literary elements to include - and which to drop onto the editing floor - in order to write with impact.

• Our Eng-Code® editing system empowers students to see what the teacher sees in their writing.
• Access our student-friendly glossary of English concepts, editor checklists, exemplars, and marking guides to teach your child how to edit for success, see the grade they deserve, and strive for excellence.
