Beginning Readers
The beginning readers are great for young children who are learning to read. The text is very similar to the Bible, but consists of simple language that beginning readers can understand. Since some words in the Bible are difficult but there is no simple substitute, like Jesus, rebuses are used when needed. In those cases, a small picture is below the difficult word in order to help students know what word to say.
Each story includes a "reader." Some stories include both a color version and a black and white version which kids can color. To make the reader, print the document front to back, cut the pages across the middle horizontally, put the pages in order, and staple them together. These readers great for small hands. Being able to print them in black and white also makes them practical for Sunday School classes and other larger groups of children.
Each reader is accompanied by a variety of files.
- For some stories, there is also a "big book" version, large enough to sit and share the book together. Just print out the pages front to back, staple them together, and enjoy.
- Some stories also have a video of the book being read. Read along on your copy of the book, or read along on the screen. Listening to fluent reading helps develop fluency reading, and increases comprehension.
- Some stories also have felt board characters. Print these in color, cut them out, and glue felt on the back. They are great visuals for telling the stories. After using them with a class they can also be put in a center for the children to use to retell the stories themselves.
- All of the books are accompanied by an activity to increase academic learning. This additional activity reinforces reading skills and/or Bible knowledge, and may be a board game, a card game, an activity sheet, or a physical activity you can do with the child.
