The Lit List

by Headway

SEASONAL BREAK READING PROGRAM   |   2027

The Lit List turns reading into a habit, a skill, and an identity.

A structured reading program built around real books, a daily schedule, and a finish line worth working toward. Three offerings — pick the one that fits your season, your student, and your pace.

WHAT THE LIT LIST IS

More than a reading list. A reading life.

The Lit List is a structured reading program — not a book club, not a worksheet packet, not a log to fill in. Every offering includes a real reading schedule, comprehension and thinking tools, and a finish line that means something.
 

Students read. They write about what they read. And in the full programs, they present — out loud, from their own notes, on every book they finished. That is the part most programs skip. We do not skip it.

Supplementary by design.
The Lit List works alongside any curriculum — homeschool, private school, or traditional. It does not replace what you are doing. It deepens it.

Level 1  |  Together
Parent and student read in the same room. Discussion-led. Built for building the habit from the ground up. Best entry point for new or reluctant readers.

THE THREE LEVELS
 

Level 2  |  Independent
Student reads on their own. Parent stays engaged through discussion questions. Real accountability without hovering. For students who are ready to own the work.

Level 3  |  Critical
Student reads, writes, and defends. Composition book is the full record. Presentation Day is the capstone. Built for serious readers who are ready for a real challenge.

Your book. Your pace. Your reading journal.
