Scott Clifton, a homeschool father of seven and literature teacher since 2002, presents a comprehensive reading program designed specifically for Christian families educating at home. This collection targets middle and high school students from seventh through twelfth grade, offering what Clifton considers the finest classic works rather than texts that merely carry the "classic" label. The program includes novels, short stories, essays, poems, letters, and speeches, many of which remain unknown gems waiting to be discovered. Clifton has assembled these materials into organized sets covering American, Classic, British, and World literature for high schoolers, plus dedicated collections for seventh and eighth grade students. The curriculum aims to make literature both enjoyable and edifying for young readers while simplifying the teaching process for parents. Each set provides structured guidance that allows students to work independently while engaging with high-quality writing that aligns with Christian values and educational goals.
