Publisher's Description of Shiloh by Phyllis Naylor
Marty will do anything to save his new friend Shiloh in this Newbery Medal–winning novel from Phillis Reynolds Naylor.
When Marty Preston comes across a young beagle in the hills behind his home, it's love at first sight—and also big trouble. It turns out the dog, which Marty names Shiloh, belongs to Judd Travers, who drinks too much and has a gun—and abuses his dogs. So when Shiloh runs away from Judd to Marty, Marty just has to hide him and protect him from Judd. But Marty's secret becomes too big for him to keep to himself, and it exposes his entire family to Judd's anger. How far will Marty have to go to make Shiloh his?

Category Description for Progeny Press Study Guides & Books
Among the many companies that offer a literature guide or study guide to use with a novel, Progeny Press does a beautiful job incorporating scripture into their literary analysis. I like how their guides begin with more basic comprehension questions and evolve into more challenging questions that encourage deeper thinking. Think of it as moving from who, what and where into the how and why's. With Progeny Press, students are asked to draw comparisons between the literature they are reading and the Bible. Your student will use their own Bible in their preferred version.
New to literature study guides? They are an independent and flexible option for adding a literature component to your language arts. As your student reads a novel, the guide provides a framework, something like a workbook. The guide might suggest each learner read chapters 1 and 2, then answer some questions. Students answer directly in the guide. From a parent's viewpoint, this is a time saver! You can set a schedule if you like, or just open their guide and ask them a question! Students love talking about what they are reading, whether they like it or not. Parent educators get a sense of the investment in the book each child has based on their remarks. In addition, parents could easily develop and add some deeper questions into an essay too.
Progeny Press has many titles to choose from. The age groups overlap in places because, well, that is not an exact science, is it? One student may read a book at age 10 and another at age 14. The age groups help a parent determine if the novel's content is likely appropriate for a child's age. Reading comprehension and literary analysis are an important component of any ELA year. A typical number of novels with guides is 4-6 a year, or 2-3 per semester. Some novels may take only a couple weeks to complete, while others take up to 8 weeks. Guides are currently available as softcover books, PDF format on CD-ROM, or PDF downloads available directly from the publisher at (progenypress.com). The guides are reproducible within one classroom or family.
Each guide includes:
- a concise synopsis of the book
- information about the book's author
- background information pertinent to the story
- suggestions for activities relating to the subject matter
- introduction of literary terms
- vocabulary exercises for each section of reading
- comprehension, analysis, and application questions for each section of reading with discussion of related Biblical themes
- a complete answer key and suggestions for further reading

We have a son who struggles with lying It's been an issue for a few years We have talked about it prayed about it read stories that teach against lying(like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf") and praised him when he tells the truth Sometimes he will go a long while on the right track and then start lying again In the book "Shiloh" the main character Marty tells a lie and it leads to many more lies As we saw Marty dig himself into a deeper and deeper hole with his lies I seized the opportunity to have some great conversations with my son Even though Marty was doing it for a good cause (to protect an abused dog) his relationships with others become broken and he can't really relax and be happy because of all the lies and secrets Marty is so relieved when his mother finally discovers his secret! The book gets pretty intense when the dog gets hurt and the rightful owner finds out and demands his dog back Everything ends well though Marty learns how damaging lies can be and how wonderfully freeing the truth is There is also a great contrast between Martys father who upholds the truth and the dog abuser who is a habitual liar The book makes it clear that lies are bad though this is shown through experiences rather than stated out-rightly This was helpful because it didn't become preachy and condemning to my son it just gave him a lot to think about I'm so glad to get my son thinking about lying on a deeper level! Though it is suggested for grades 3-5 as a read aloud it sure gave my first grader a lot to chew on
