Description
Publisher's Description of Little House in the Big Woods Literature Student Study Guide
Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder remains an all-time American classic about life on the frontier. The first book in the beloved Little House series begins in 1871 in a log cabin on the edge of the Big Woods of Wisconsin. Four year old Laura, her Pa, her Ma, her sisters Mary and Carrie, and their dog, Jack all live happily together in the little house. Life as a pioneer is not always easy, especially when preparing for the long Wisconsin winter. But there is also joy and fun as Laura and her family celebrate Christmas, plant crops every spring, harvest in the autumn, and make trips into town. This heartwarming story will introduce students to America's frontier history through the eyes of a young girl growing up in the safe, warm, and love-filled little house. Our Little House in the Big Woods Student Guide trains students to become active readers by providing in-depth word studies that help students build vocabulary as well as comprehension questions to teach students to identify important concepts and compose clear, concise answers to questions.
Category Description for Memoria Press Literature Guides
Memoria Press Literature Guides are well-organized, user-friendly, and academically challenging. These guides equip students to be active readers through thoughtful and purposeful study. Formatted similarly, each guide includes
- Vocabulary, taken straight from the original texts
- Comprehension/discussion questions for independent reflection and group discussion
- Direct quotations to analyze
- Composition prompts for short and long essays
- Literary analysis that increases in depth throughout the study and grade ranges
- Varied activities to engage with the readings
Beginning in 2nd grade, Memoria Press Literature Guides are organized around the Trivium with activities grouped into Pre-Grammar, Grammar (K-5: preparation and presentation), Logic (6-8: reasoning with facts, elements, and features), and Rhetoric (9-12: expression). Background information on the author and book is also included in the introductory materials.
Student Guides for Grades 2-8 are consumable. Each book/story/poem is approached in much the same way, although with increasing depth. Beginning in Grade 9, the guides transition to a smaller (6” x 9”), non-consumable format. Page numbers provided throughout will guide students for reference. Students are encouraged to create a personal Literature Notebook, where they will document all answers, research, and projects.
Teacher Guides provide valuable teaching information and full-text answer keys at all grade levels. Discussion talking points, reproducible quizzes, and final tests (with answers) are included in numerous guides, especially at the upper levels. The early grades differ a little bit in content to be more suitable for young learners. The Teacher Guides afford a more teacher-student approach to literature and are beneficial for co-op settings.
StoryTime Treasures and More StoryTime Treasures incorporate real books, rather than controlled readers, to advance phonics and reading skills once a student has learned basic phonics. Student Guides at this level are different compared to the guides for 2nd grade and up. Featuring a horizontal orientation for ease of writing, worksheets focus on vocabulary and comprehension. There’s writing involved (7/16” lines with dotted midline) but the top binding makes it easy for either right- or left-handed students. The teacher will need to take a quick peek at two pages at the beginning that give the plan for the Word Study, Read, Comprehension, and Language (introductory grammar) segments of each lesson.
- StoryTime covers four classic children’s books in 14 lessons and 2 optional Christmas lessons
- More StoryTime provides another 15 lessons and seven children’s books
Teacher Guides for StoryTime and More StoryTime include a model lesson plan, an overview, daily assignments for each lesson (which highlight phonics and vocabulary activities), and answers to the student pages. Optional lesson plans are available.
Grade Level Packages are available for your convenience and align with the Memoria Press Literature and Poetry grade level packages. Components are also available separately. For additional literature options from Memoria Press, please see the Alternate Literature or the Classical Literature options.
