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.

Long Way to a New Land is an "I Can Read" book (level 3) for grades 2-4. It follows the story of a young Swedish boy and his family as the emigrate from Sweden during a time of starvation. The book depicts what it would have been like to leave behind everything you know and love, to travel in unsanitary, cramped conditions on a ship, and to arrive in a land where you don't even know the language. This book would make an excellent addition to any study of immigration and American history. Set in the post-Civil War era.
