Just one year ago, our youngest daughter was struggling with reading. She was determined to learn so she could read all the wonderful stories on our bookshelf. One book that she always wanted to read on her own was Charlotte's Web by E.B. White. When she found out we were receiving and reviewing the Charlotte’s Web E-Guide from Progeny Press, she was delighted. I was thrilled to see her so excited.
As I was looking around the website of Progeny Press, I was amazed to see their mission statement: "To teach our children to think clearly, to understand literature, and to rely on the scripture for truth and values, and enjoy themselves while they do it!" This company wants to help our children learn literature from a Christian perspective. I appreciate a company that stands firm on their beliefs and are open about what they believe and will incorporate into their resources.
The site is very simple to navigate and we had no issues downloading the E-guide once we logged in with the information that we were given. As a new customer, you will need to register in order to buy from the store. That is also located at the top right side of the main web page.
Once you register, you will be ready to buy from the store. After you register once, you will have a sign in and password that will make it easier for you the next time you want to shop the store or download items you have just purchased. It is very convenient.
We couldn't wait to begin our Charlotte's Web E-Guide. You can choose to print it out and use it as a normal study guide, or you can use it on your computer so your child will be able to enter their answers right there on the computer. It will save their work as they go along. We chose to print it out since our daughter does better when she writes out her answers by hand.
We already had the book Charlotte's Web on our shelf, but if you don't have it you will need to purchase or borrow it in order to use this E-Guide.
This guide is for grades 4 to 6 and I think that is a perfect fit. Our daughter is 10 and in the 5th grade and she didn't have any problems completing the work. There were just a few times she needed my help, but that is to be expected.
As your child works through the E-Guide, they will be taught subjects like:
- Vocabulary
- Character Development
- Reading Comprehension
- Descriptive Writing
- Thinking Skills
The guide has you reading about 3 or 4 chapters at a time, then you stop and work in the study guide. You will need to have a dictionary, thesaurus, and Bible on hand when working through your questions in the guide. We used the internet for some of the activities. I liked the way they incorporated the Bible into the study. It gave this book a new perspective for me and my daughter.
Towards the back of the study guide, you will find ideas for post-reading activities and a list of additional resources. They really put a lot of effort into making this study guide for Charlotte's Web stand out from all the rest.
