To Kill a Mockingbird: Total Language Plus Study Guide
Growing up in a small town may sound boring, but Scout's childhood is anything but uneventful. Coming of age in a turbulent time, Scout learns much about human behavior as she experiences love, hatred, kindness, and cruelty.
The Total Language Plus study guides are immediately recognizable with their bright yellow covers, but it’s the inside of the guide where you will find gold! Comprehensive study guides written from a Christian perspective focus on teaching thinking and communication skills using literature as a base.
It is typical to complete 3-5 novels with guides in a traditional school year. Each guide contains 5 to 8 units and will take about 8 to 10 weeks to complete. Focus Guides are shorter format guides and usually take about 3 weeks.
In addition to reading comprehension and literary analysis, TLP guides offer practice in
- Spelling
- Grammar
- Vocabulary
- Writing
- Listening
High school guides contain more extensive writing activities that teach composition techniques, showing the student how to organize and plan their writing, as well as suggesting what points to include. These guides also contain oral readings for the selections to incorporate speech and drama into the program.

For my child's 9th grade reading curriculum, It's a wonderful book full of extraordinary characters.
I'm comparing this to the Progeny Press guides.
Cathy Duffy recommended this and I think it will serve my 10 grader as we finish her Language Arts for the year with this book study
