The Hobbit Interactive Study Guide is for 8th-12th grade students, our 7th grade student was able to use this product from Progeny Press with no problems.
I will be the first to admit that I have always been under the impression that The Hobbit was not a book for Christians to read, well grab a snack & drink and come join me in finding out just how wrong this assumption was on my part.

Want to dig into the essence of the novel? This study guide provides
easy-to-use, reproducible lessons on literary terms, comprehension and analysis,
critical thinking, related scriptural principles, vocabulary, and activities,
plus a complete answer key." From the Progeny Press Website.

What this homeschool Momma liked about the The Hobbit Interactive PDF Study Guide.
1) I loved how it used the Bible to explain things.
2) The Note to Instructor section was great! Extra teaching helps are always appreciated.
3) By using the Progeny Press Interactive Study Guides you can award 1/4 credit hour on your students high school transcripts. I really like knowing this because it can sometimes be hard to figure out just how much a course is worth.
3) This study guide it full of thought provoking questions.
4) WONDERFUL answer key! Sometimes having a GREAT answer key can make the world of difference in teaching. It helps me to explain concepts better as well as takes the guessing game out of, "Do they really understand this material?"
5) The Interactive PDF was great, I did not have to hear any complaining about having to write...lol. What homeschool Momma of a 7th grade boy loves to NOT have to hear that? lol
6) I liked the features like Parallelism, Dig Deeper Activities and Character Sketches.
7) It incorporates music too.
8) Teaches riddles and proverbs for critical thinking.
9) This was not an overwhelming study, we did a section per week.

What the student liked about the Progeny Press Treasure Island Study Guide
1) FUN FUN FUN!! I liked how the PDF study guide brought the book to life.
2) The pre-reading activities were fun too, I liked researching the different types of ships.
3) I learned some new words that I did not know before and I really liked how I could place my mouse over a word & right click, then click on "look up" to find the meaning of words.
What the student did not like about the Progeny Press Treasure Island Study Guide
1) Nothing!
What this homeschool Momma liked about the Progeny Press Treasure Island Study Guide
1) Pretty much the same as above for The Hobbit study guide.
2) I really like how the questions made the student use thinking skills and did not just have yes and no answers. It made the learning experience richer.
3) Opened up dialog that I did not have to lead.
4) This engaged my husband as he loves literature, so it opened up some chatter between father and son.
What this homeschool Momma did not like about the Progeny Press Treasure Island Study Guide
1) Again nothing! I had read this book as a child and never did I get this much thought provoking information from that time.
I highly recommend the Interactive PDF Study Guides from Progeny Press.
