Originally inspired by the struggles of students reading Shakespeare, Literary Companion follows a carefully developed pedagogy grounded in critical thinking.

Through in-depth study of ten selected passages, students build their vocabulary, reading-comprehension and writing skills -- while enhancing their understanding of classic literature. And, thanks to Literary Companion's interactive-multimedia format, they become actively engaged in the task of reading.

In this way, Literary Companion is the only program of its kind for grades 7-12.
