About
Cottage Press publishes classical Christian language arts curriculum progressing through developmental writing stages. The Fable stage introduces copywork, narration, and composition through Aesop's Fables for early elementary; the Bard stage develops writing through narrative models and medieval literature for middle grades; the Poet stage advances through formal composition, poetry analysis, and rhetoric for upper grades. The curriculum emphasizes rich language, beautiful literature, and writing as a craft rather than a mechanical skill. Cottage Press also publishes Lingua Mater, a grammar-through-language program. Materials are print-based and parent-intensive.
