The teacher’s guide contains all of the answers along with the quizzes and final test.
Our Experience:
My children love to read. I was excited to learn about Memoria Press’s literature guides, because I wanted B and C to become more active readers.
B chose to read Lassie Come-Home, and C chose The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I had them look over the work for each chapter, read the chapter, and then work on questions.
They both enjoyed reading the books and answering the questions.
Mama’s Thoughts:
- I’m glad that my children enjoy classical books and that they enjoyed these literature guides.
- I really enjoyed these guides. I liked how they included Comprehension Questions, Discussion Questions, Vocabulary, and an Enrichment section. I also liked how the guides were consistent between each other. Consistent products always make it easier for children to work on them throughout the year.
- The teacher’s guides were awesome. I liked having the answers at my finger tips if I didn’t know the answer.
- C’s handwriting is currently rather large, so she had a hard time writing the answers. B didn’t have a hard time, but I would still like to see the lines wide ruled instead of college ruled.
- The Enrichment section was my favorite, because the children were able to do more activities. I feel that these activities helped B and C learn more about the book they were reading.
- These literature guides will help them learn to actively read other books. They will also help them appreciate good classical books.
B’s Thoughts (boy, age 12, officially in sixth grade):
I thought the Lassie Come-Home Student Study Guide was interesting. The book was sad, because Lassie can’t live with them anymore. She was sold in the second chapter, which was sad.
I liked how involved the study guide was, with all the questions you had to fill in. I liked how you had to look up words in a dictionary.
I liked the maps in the back of my book.
I would recommend this product to kids my age.
C’s Thoughts (girl, age 10, officially in fourth grade):
- I liked the fact that there were maps and recipes.
- I think this product would be good for kids my age and older and younger.
- I did The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
- I think that the lines could be farther apart, because my handwriting didn’t fit.
- We got The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Lassie Come-Home, and Heidi.
- I got to draw pictures of Tumnus’s cave and the professor’s house.
