Following a basic understanding of reading, Literary Devices explores the language of storytelling with a detailed look at characterization, setting, plot, theme, point of view, foreshadowing and flashback, symbolism, and irony. Definitions of important terms and many opportunities to practice the skills being taught make our resource user-friendly and easy to understand. In addition, the objectives used in this book are structured using Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning to ensure educational appropriateness.

Through a mixture of narration and age appropriate learning activities, this book enables students to examine and understand the “building blocks” of all good stories. All of our content meets the Common Core State Standards and are written to Bloom's Taxonomy.
