Description

The God’s Big Story Reading Level 2 Textbook from Generations adds 25 additional stories from the Bible and digs deeper into well-known stories from the previous level. 65 stories in total are presented in this beautiful illustrated-Bible. This will surely gain an honored place on your bookshelves for years to come. Not just your average illustrated Bible, this text also encourages ELA work as you are reading through scripture stories, developing reading comprehension and literary analysis skills, and cultivating a budding vocabulary. Each chapter has full-color illustrations that bring the text to life. At the end of each chapter is a Faith Lesson, where connections are made between characters and their actions to what God wants us to learn. The words used for vocab are reading level appropriate: servant, terrified, Philistine, silently, or surrounding. Vocabulary Words for the chapter are always highlighted, and in each form (plot, plotted, plotting) they are used. This makes extrapolating meaning and context easy for the reader. Each chapter is about 5 pages long, and once done reading the chapter, students move to the corresponding lesson work in their Student Workbook. Scripture is taken from the NKJV when directly quoted. 352 pgs., hardcover. ~Rebecca

Publisher's Description of God's Big Story: Reading Level 2 Textbook

Nowadays it's fashionable to introduce 'great books' to our children in their Christian paideia or educational training. We, however, recommend the best Book—the Bible. If our children want to learn to read and think, the first and core content of their study must be the Bible. These are God's stories, and our children should know all the stories of Scripture by the time they are reading on a fifth grade level.

Avoiding the piecemeal approach to Bible stories, the authors of this course instead present the whole story, the unity of Scripture, the true message intended by God. It is a redemptive story. While there may be moral lessons to glean here and there, the core message of Scripture is the work of God in redemption. This is the story the Bible presents from cover to cover and is the story focused on in this reading course.
