Grades 7-12, with parental supervision
This ad-supported website offers free, web-based reference guides for studying literature, poetry, and more to make learning and writing more fun and relevant for students in the digital age.
The content is written primarily by Ph.D. and Masters students from top universities including Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard, and Yale who specialize in “everything from Shakespeare to Victorian literature to African literature…” Shmoop’s laid-back and often humorous approach to the material is really engaging.
When you click on the above link, you’ll land on the literature page where you’ll see a menu of literary works by authors such as Jane Austen, Albert Camus, Ernest Hemingway, Jack London, George Orwell, Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Tennessee Williams, and more.
Click on any one and a new page opens with a Navigation menu displayed.
Then check out the top menu for more Free Stuff and more Subjects including English and Writing. Access to all of this rich content is free, without obligation.
NOTE: Because this site links to exterior websites that we have not reviewed, PARENTS SHOULD PREVIEW THE CONTENT TO DETERMINE SUITABILITY.
Finally, we’d like to reiterate that one of the best aspects of this site is the way humor is used to engage students. Students will find the captivating banter irresistible. Just browsing the site can ignite interest in literature, so bookmark it to return often.
