The Little House in the Big Woods Study Guide from Progeny Press, while targeted for 4th-6th grade readers, is a wonderful resource to use as a whole family, even with younger students. After each chapter range are lists of projects and activities that the whole family will enjoy, such as making Johnnycakes, learning about beekeeping, square dancing, and so much more. Each section starts with vocabulary work with an emphasis on developing dictionary skills, brief discussion questions, and then Scripture connections. Literary skills focus on setting, paraphrasing, and similes. Prereading Activities provide context to what you will read. The After-You-Read Activities are suggested extension work to make connections to what you just read. A catered list of age-appropriate Further Reading books is provided. Answers are in the back on perforated pages for easy removal. 58 pages, softcover. ~Rebecca

Description
Publisher's Description of Little House in the Big Woods Study Guide | Progeny Press
Based on a true story.
There are no houses for miles around, just the Ingalls family: Charles and Caroline (Pa and Ma), Mary, Laura, and baby Carrie. Laura tells the gentle and often funny story of growing up in the Big Woods of Wisconsin in the 1860's. Here we follow the day-to-day events of the life of Laura Ingalls over the course of the seasons. The story begins as the family prepares for winter, storing away food and preserving meat. During the long nights Pa tells stories and entertains the girl's with his fiddle. In the spring the family makes maple syrup. Summertime brings long days of hard work in the fields, and the fall brings the harvest. As the seasons change the chores and play-time of Laura and her big sister, Mary, also change. Little House in the Big Woods
is a delightful look at family life on the frontier.
