Are you looking for a solid literature curriculum for your children? Memoria Press has developed a wonderful curriculum for second grade through seventh grade.

Each student literature guide contains questions for each chapter. Each chapter contains Reading Notes, Vocabulary, Comprehension Questions, Quotations, Discussions Questions, and Enrichment. Each Enrichment section has diferent activities like questions, drawing pictures, marking of maps, and recipes.

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.
