Description
Publisher's Description of Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
Billy has long dreamt of owning not one, but two, dogs. So when he’s finally able to save up enough money for two pups to call his own—Old Dan and Little Ann—he’s ecstatic. It doesn’t matter that times are tough; together they’ll roam the hills of the Ozarks.
Soon Billy and his hounds become the finest hunting team in the valley. Stories of their great achievements spread throughout the region, and the combination of Old Dan’s brawn, Little Ann’s brains, and Billy’s sheer will seems unbeatable. But tragedy awaits these determined hunters—now friends—and Billy learns that hope can grow out of despair, and that the seeds of the future can come from the scars of the past.

Category Description for Middle School Grades 6-8
The Middle School guides is our largest offering of titles with Progeny Press. With over 40 titles to choose from, there are numerous books that will likely be suitable for your student. All presented from a Christian worldview, each guide is filled with comprehension questions, vocabulary building, and scriptural connections and application. Many of the classics are found in this collection and would provide a great opportunity (or incentive) for your students to read the book and watch the movie! The recommended target goal is for students to read 4-6 guides during the school year. Answers are in the back and can be easily removed. You may be working with a range of students all from one guide, and that’s okay! Each student will do what they are developmentally capable of accomplishing. It is easy to read just for fun, yet adding a literature guide helps to provide a guided reading experience promoting deeper thought and critical thinking. ~Rebecca
