We have been long time fans of Progeny Press and their Interactive Study Guides! Check out our past reviews from 2016 - 2017- 2018- 2019. One of the things I most admire is the wide variety of selections for ALL grades. The guides are very easy to use, everything you need (just add the book) is clearly laid out for you. This year we are focusing on Little Women Study Guide & Animal Farm Study Guide from Progeny Press.
Both of these guides are designed for your high school students. They take about 8-10 weeks to complete and can count for approx. 1/4 of a full high school credit. Completing four guides in one year gives a student a full high school credit. They have dozens of great titles to choose from at every level.
We love the format of these easy-to-use guides. They come as downloadable PDF with the ability to either print what you need, or use the interactive feature that allows you to type directly into the document. They are reusable for each of your students.
Each guide follows a similar design with a short Synopsis of the book, an About the Author and Background Information section to help you introduce the literature to your student.
Fun Pre-Reading Activities help set the stage, and Optional Essays and Projects and Additional Resources let you expand the learning.
Students are encouraged to Think About The Story. In this section, literary terms & analysis are introduced and explained, with examples from the reading included to help the student understand the context. Alliteration, epiphany, and poetic justice - just to name a few.

Each guide uses a variety of activities to teach the literature, chapter by chapter. The guides are designed for students to be able to work independently.
A beloved family favorite, the Little Women Study Guide is a 111 page Interactive Guide that includes vocabulary activities which utilize a variety of approaches including matching, fill-in-the-blanks, working synonyms & antonyms, crossword puzzles and more. We love the variety included in each guide.
The 92 page Animal Farm Study Guide is another great choice for your high school students. I still remember reading this one in high school - “ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS.” is still a familiar quote, and a timely one to introduce to our students, especially in our world today.
The guide uses short answer Questions that are designed to help your student understand what they are reading. Our favorites are the Dig Deeper questions that really encourage us to draw conclusions and make connections to Scripture. We love to do these questions out loud together!
Analogous Characters and Events is a section that focuses on important characters, places, or events that tie into history. From Nazi Germany to Soviet Communism they are learning much more than just simple literary analysis, they are understanding history and it's significance today.
Full Answer Keys are included with each guide as well (a great bonus for busy moms that may not have had the time to read along with her high schoolers...)
