Is Junior Great Books only for talented and gifted children?
The Great Books Foundation was established in 1947 to promote liberal education for the general public. In 1962, the Foundation extended its mission to children in the regular classroom. These programs were designed with the idea that great literature is accessible to all people of all ages. Furthermore, based on scientific research, the U.S.Department of Education has determined that Junior Great Books is especially effective for students reading below grade level.
