Jackie in NE Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I'm looking for some comprehension guides for dear sons, 2nd and 3rd grade. (But both reading at a 2nd grade level....). I have bought a couple from Veritas Press.... The Boxcar Children, and Homer Price. I want a gentle transition from their reader/workbook format to real literature. Are there any others out there? These guys are all boy! They really won't want any "girlie stuff". Also, free or very inexpensive would be great. I just don't have time to make these up myself. Thanks!

PeterPan Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 We did a free Hobbit guide a while back that was great. I actually like the discussion questions in the sample of the MP guide BETTER (because they flesh out the themes and subtleties more), but that free guide had really cool activities to go with it. I'd probably do a mixture next time. Seems to me Hobbit ought to be pretty boyish. I think VP lists it for 4th in their lit sections, not sure. Oh, have you seen the guide sets from Logos? I haven't bought any yet, but they have such nice mixtures of books in each guide. Also have you seen the Mrs. Renz book projects? They're fun to do when you have a book and want to do something but not a full guide. She was a Disney teacher of the year and has lots of cool stuff. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
