Implications of Literature: Navigator
Implications of Literature: Navigator provides a rigorous tenth-grade literature course that develops reading, writing, vocabulary, and analytical thinking skills while earning a full high school literature credit. Through a carefully selected collection of poetry, short stories, nonfiction, drama, and an abridged version of A Tale of Two Cities, the course exposes your teen to a wide range of literary styles, perspectives, and ideas.
The anthology includes works by authors such as Leo Tolstoy, Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Frost, and Emmi Bonhoeffer, along with selections from lesser-known writers chosen for their literary merit and thought-provoking themes. The variety of genres and voices encourages deeper engagement with literature while broadening cultural and historical understanding.
Each selection includes a "Before You Read" introduction, vocabulary support, comprehension checks, literary analysis activities, and writing assignments. Reader-response journaling, literary critiques, and discussion prompts help your teen move beyond basic comprehension and develop the skills needed to evaluate, interpret, and respond thoughtfully to what he reads.
Vocabulary development, grammar instruction, and composition practice are integrated throughout the course, allowing multiple language arts skills to develop naturally alongside the literature. The result is a comprehensive program that supports both literary understanding and written communication.
The course presents morally grounded literature without religious instruction, making it a strong option for families seeking meaningful content that encourages thoughtful reflection while respecting their values.
The Teacher Edition mirrors the anthology and includes annotations, teaching notes, suggested responses, and answer keys. Because the anthology itself is non-consumable, many families can reuse it with younger siblings.
By combining literature, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and literary analysis into a single course, Implications of Literature: Navigator helps your teen become a more thoughtful reader, a stronger writer, and a more confident communicator.

How to Use Implications of Literature: Navigator
- Plan on reading approximately 20 pages each week to complete the main literature portion of the course during a typical school year. Another option is to work through about half of a unit each week, allowing your teen to engage more deeply with the themes, discussions, and writing assignments within each section.
- Encourage your teen to complete the activities as he reads. The comprehension questions, literary analyses, journal prompts, critiques, and writing workshops are designed to help him interact with the literature rather than simply move through the pages.
- Keep written responses organized in a notebook or digital document. Having a record of assignments, reflections, and written work makes it easier to review progress and document completed coursework.
- Take advantage of the variety of selections throughout the anthology. The combination of novels, poetry, speeches, essays, drama, and nonfiction provides opportunities to discuss both literary techniques and the ideas that shaped different cultures and time periods.
- Use the Teacher Edition to guide discussions, evaluate responses, and expand on important themes. The notes, annotations, and suggested answers can help turn reading assignments into meaningful conversations.
- The final language skills unit may be used as additional grammar instruction or omitted if your teen is already using a separate grammar or writing program.
By the end of the course, your teen will have completed a full year of literature while strengthening reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar, and analytical thinking skills.

Implications of Literature is a good program, however, it is a lot to complete the whole program when also used with Writing and Grammar lessons. Our student is not completely into classic literature, but this will be used throughout all of high school.

I was so impressed the first time I cracked this book before the school year started. It is full of classic literature. I have had my son come to me several times over the year to tell me about the particular story he had just read (more times than in all of his previous years of school!). Great program!

Good Classical Literature

We love how these include older, classical literature with different points of view than modern literature.

This English textbook has a great deal of content. Each section focuses on a different type of reading: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, biography, and novel. It is extremely thorough in its approach to literary analysis although it leaves little timw for writing or grammar.
