Progeny Press Books

Progeny Press classic literature and books are always discounted at Schoolhouse Publishing!

Here is where you will find living books and classic literature selections that support the Progeny Press  curriculum.

Progeny Press integrates historical literature with your language arts program! With this in mind, I like to choose several classic pieces of literature plus the accompanying Progeny Press guide for our current history study.  If we're studying the Middle Ages, I might choose Minstrel in the Tower and Door in the Wall as my literature selections, then add the Progeny Press guides to tie our history and language arts together for a wonderfully seamless homeschool program.
