The Hall of Doors: Dragon’s Hoard Study Guide by Progeny Press is the author’s response to her children itching to read fantasy on their own. After finishing read-aloud series like Narnia and Lord of the Rings with her kids, Rebecca was inspired to write a book that her elementary-aged children could read on their own. Broken into 2 chapters per section, the guide walks students through working with new vocabulary words and writing their own sentences, making Scripture connections, and reflecting on what they are reading. Literary skills focus on setting, characterization, similes, synonym/antonym, dialect, and anthropomorphism. 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. 39 pages, softcover. ~Rebecca
