Immerse yourself in late-1800s prairie life with a guided study from Progeny Press: Sarah, Plain and Tall Study Guide. This guide prompts students with an As You Read section that encourages intentional reflection while enjoying the story. Presented in three-chapter sections, vocabulary skills start off each section, followed by thinking about the chapters and then digging in deeper with Scripture connections. Honed-in literary skills include setting, similes, metaphors, and paraphrasing. 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. 47 pages, softcover. ~Rebecca

Description
Publisher's Description of Sarah, Plain and Tall Study Guide | Progeny Press
Answering an ad in the paper for a wife, Sarah agrees to come visit for one month before agreeing to marry Papa, writing back and forth with Papa's children, Anna and Caleb, telling them that they will know her because "I will come by train. I will wear a yellow bonnet. I am plain and tall," and "Tell them I sing."
But Sarah misses her old home in Maine and the children worry. Will she leave, or will she stay and bring song and laughter to their prairie home?
