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. Pages can be copied for family and individual classroom use. 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. Each guide includes Notes to the Instructor, mini author biographies, and background information. 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
