Mommamia Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 This would be for 4th/5th grade. I was curious about Progeny Press interactive guides and Veritas Press, but also would love to know if there are others to consider. Thank you? Anyone not use a lit. guide?

Mommamia Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Just found the answer to my question Here ! very helpful! Especially the variations from a guide, and others not using a guide at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Jo Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I asked this on a homeschool email loop, and Teaching the Classics was the most recommended. Thus far I have not used lit guides. (I own 2 of MPs and I've looked at others online. I just hesitate to tie that much writing to literature for my boys.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourisenough Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I used several of these (http://www.logospressonline.com/index.php?p=product&id=67&parent=32) with my older girls and they really seemed to like them. We were able to read many books and not be dragged down by over-analysis, but I felt good that even though I wasn't able read/discuss every book with them (while pregnant, nursing, or chasing a toddler) I knew they were understanding the books and could reflect upon them a bit. More than literature analysis, they're really reading comprehension work, but I felt like I was able to use them as jumping off points to do more analysis orally based on their written responses to the questions in the guides.
