Are you looking for a quality homeschool high school English course for your teen?  Or would you prefer to put your own course together, with the help of a well put together literature guide or two?

How about having a choice of more than 40 frugal homeschool high school literature guides?  7 Sisters Homeschool offers both, plus great courses to help your teen develop strong writing skills as well.

We started off using Oak Meadow for our homeschool high school English until we found 7 Sisters Homeschool.

Oak Meadow offered lots of courses in literature and composition for high schoolers, which were well out together.  They taught literary analysis as well.  Here is a review of Oak Meadow English.  We used Oak Meadow for a few years until we found 7 Sisters Homeschool.

When we found 7 Sisters English, we were pleasantly surprised.  It also was well put together, but was way more frugal.  And we liked that it was written by homeschool moms.

7 Sisters Homeschool offers a variety of frugal high school curriculum, with a focus on English studies.


 It is written by veteran homeschool moms who developed their own courses for high schoolers in their own co-op.  So all of their resources and courses are tried and true.

The 7 Sisters approach is based on over 20 years of homeschooling.

These veteran homeschool authors know how to capture a student's interest and then lead them into a solid study of literature all while avoiding any busywork.


And they offer English resources in a 
variety of ways, such as year long courses, or Literature Guides for just one particular novel that your teen wants to read. 

Here's the super frugal way to make your own English course for your teen. 



Let's take a look at their frugal homeschool high school Literature Guides. 


They offer over 40 of them, for under $7.00 each, including:

  • Chronicles of Narnia
  • A Separate Peace
  • A Raisin in the Sun
  • The Scarlet Letter
  • To Kill A Mockingbird
  • The Hobbit
  • British Poetry Selections
  • A Tale of Two Cities
  • Joni
  • Anne of Green Gables
  • Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats
  • The Invisible Man
  • The Three Musketeers
  • And more.
Choose the lit guides for your teen wants based on their interests and create your own English course from that. Click Literature Guides to reach all of them.  

 Add in one of their writing courses, below, if your teen could use some guidance with their writing skills.

OR, are you looking for a complete year long course in Literature?  They offer those, too.


My friends at 7 Sisters Homeschool put together frugal year long homeschool English courses, for grades 9 through 12, including:

What a nice variety of English courses to choose from! Picking between them can be so fun for you and your teen together. Imagine using movies to learn literature composition!

To reach any of these PDF courses, click Complete Year Long 7 Sisters English Courses.

Each course includes approximately 5 - 8 novels to read and analyze, with guides to help you and your teen for each lit book.

Below is a description of one of these courses, to give you an idea of what's included.

American Literature

The American Literature course consists of a 125 page downloadable ebook text, which is a complete college prep one year course, centered around nine classics.

Students usually read one book a month and then work through the corresponding study guide included in the course.

There is also a table to refer to, that helps you to adjust the course so that students can earn extra advanced credit or honors if desired.


Each of these courses is helpful for teaching your teen literary analysis, which was crucial to my 2e daughter developing her critical thinking skills, for college readiness.





OR are you looking for a stand alone writing course for your teen? Here at 7 Sisters, you have lots of choices.
