What is the Eighth Grade Literature Guide Set

The Eighth Grade set includes 4 guide sets for 4 different novels, which I was asked to provide. Though, there is a set on Memoria Press that also includes these for your convenience if you prefer. Each novel guide set includes a teacher manual and a student guide. 

The guides focus on vocabulary, spelling, comprehension, and composition skills. Each one is set up similarly with:

Reading Notes

Vocabulary

Comprehension questions

Discussion Questions/Activities

Quotations

The Teacher Guides each have quizzes and tests along with answer keys. Each book set's length depends upon how long the corresponding novel is to cover. Each novel is expected to take about 6-7 weeks.

The Wind in the Willows student guide is 53 pages of workbook-style pages that covers the 12 chapters of the book

As You Like It is a 42-page student guide covering five acts of Shakespeare

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is 79 pages of student guide and a thick teacher guide, covering 36 chapters

Treasure Island has an 89-page student guide that covers 34 chapters and an appendix with nautical terms

We received the entire set that included the teacher guides and student guides but no novels. I was to provide these, which was not a problem.

How Did We Use It?

I figured it made the most sense to start with the Treasure Island set since we already had the book and because I am familiar with the story. My daughter is going into 8th grade, so this is perfect for her level. During the course of the review, we focused on Treasure Island, and I also looked over the other three sets to discover they are all presented in a similar fashion.

What Did We Think?

This is a great way to really delve into reading for fun and for comprehension. I liked the selections of novels that correspond with the set, too. They seemed to be the grade level and family-friendly appropriate for the age of my reader.
