My DS will be doing Literature for the first time in secondary school next year.

He enjoys reading, but is there anything specific he can do during the holidays to help him prepare for studying Literature as a subject? Appreciate any guidance. Thanks.

While it helps if the student enjoys reading, it does not necessarily guarantee the ability to score well.
The student will be required to know the plot well but the paper will not test how well he knows the story. Rather, the focus is more on the effect of language use for the PBQ, and the themes and characters for the essay-type question. So your son needs to read the story, annotate, unpack it, and re-organise it to list and understand the various aspects of the text. He needs to identify the language use, analyse the evidence, then explain and elaborate it.
Also, annotation is a very important element required for Literature. Get him started on this habit for this holiday. But of course he has to own the story book before he starts making notes on it.
I hope he will enjoy reading Literature

I think developing a love of reading contributes to a child's intelligence. My mother took care of my education, and as a result, I became a writer. I now write reviews on the https://pickthewriter.com/ site. Thanks to the literature I read, my reviews are colorful and informative.

As different schools use different text, don't think many centres able to cater for the varied books used in different schools.

I believe it's more useful for guidance to be provided instead on grasping literary skills & techniques etc. Hopefully once correct techniques are learnt, then it can be applied to any texts, prose etc.
