Our catalog rule
One book, one level, one guide.
Each title is assigned to the level where its guide fits best. Books are not duplicated across collections, so you can browse with confidence.
Editorial method
Placed for the guide, not just the cover.
Prepared by StudyGuide Pro. Published and reviewed September 1, 2026.
We assign each book to one level after considering sentence and chapter length, emotional content, the independence expected by the questions, the evidence a child must handle, and the final project. The grade band describes this guide’s teaching fit; it is not a universal reading-level claim about every edition or every child.
Edition-independent pacing
Schedules use chapters, scenes, or named sections instead of page numbers whenever possible, so paperback, hardcover, and ebook families can stay together.
Guide, not full curriculum
Each study supports one work of literature. It does not claim to provide a year-long scope and sequence, formal assessment system, or complete language-arts curriculum.
Worldview: Written for Christian homeschool families: literary analysis stays grounded in the book, with room for biblical reflection at home. These are literature guides, not Bible curriculum.
