Does anyone know a source of literature guides that would include a summary of the book, maybe some discussion questions, vocabulary, etc? I like how Sonlight includes these in their IG's, but I want something for the books we are reading. With a large family, I don't always have time to read what they read but would like to discuss it or listen to them narrate.

I've used Progeny Press guides. And now Kolbe has guides for the middle school years and plans to have elementary guides by the beginning of the fall term, I think.

I love Hillside Guides. Hopefully they will be producing more and more!

Ditto! I love them too! Here's the link to Hillside's Literature Guides.

I'm considering the literature guides Kolbe offers for next year.

We've used both Progeny (which aren't Catholic) and Hillside. I like them both.
