Study Guides for Literature from a Christian Perspective Review

This is sponsored content.

Are you ready to dig deeper into classic literature with your child? Progeny Press provides homeschoolers with study guides for literature, from a Christian perspective. Their mission statement is

“To teach our children to think clearly, to understand literature, and to rely on the scripture for truth and values, and enjoy themselves while they do it!”

Each literature guide is available in three versions: a physical book, a CD with a PDF ebook, or a downloadable PDF file. Some of the E-guides beyond the lower elementary level offer an interactive component, which allows students to answer questions directly on the computer.

Each study guide includes a synopsis, author information, pre-reading activities, a look at each section/chapter of the book with vocabulary, questions, and a Dig Deeper section that helps the child connect the story to life. An answer key is also provided.

Members of the Schoolhouse Review Crew had the opportunity to review a variety of study guides across all grades:
