A family-run publishing company, Memoria Press strives to provide quality classical Christian educational resources to homeschooling families and private schools. Memoria Press desires to cultivate wisdom and virtue through their educational materials.
Recently, the Homeschool Review Crew had the opportunity to integrate a variety of Memoria Press Literature Guides into their homeschool days. Literature is a core subject in a classical education, as studying quality books helps students gain a better understanding of Western Christian culture. These guides make it simple for you to introduce your children to a choice selection of books and authors.
With literature guides for students in first through tenth grade, Crew members were able to select from the following:
- StoryTime Treasures Student Guide and Answer Key and More StoryTime Treasures Student Guide and Answer Key

- Third Grade Literature Guide Set
- Fourth Grade Literature Guide Set
- Fifth Grade Literature Guide Set
- Sixth Grade Literature Guide Set

These guides dive deep into each story, helping your child discover more about the characters they encounter. Each set contains the guides for several different books. For each book, there is a Student Study Guide and a Teacher’s Guide. The Teacher’s Guide helps you guide your student on their study of literature. It also contains the answers.
