The God’s Big Story Reading Level 3 Textbook from Generations digs deeper into well-known stories from the previous levels and adds 6 additional Bible stories to read. 71 stories in total are presented in this beautiful, illustrated Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. This will surely become a go-to on your bookshelf for years to come. Not just your average illustrated Bible, this text also encourages ELA work as you read through Scripture stories, developing reading comprehension and literary analysis skills and cultivating a stronger 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’ actions and what God wants us to learn to develop in our own character. The vocab words are reading-level appropriate: providence, banquet, adultery, denarii, covetousness, inasmuch, indignation. A helpful activity may be locating vocabulary words within the reading passage to provide context to define each word. Each chapter is about 5-6 pages long, and once they have finished reading, students move to the corresponding work in their Student Workbook. Scripture is taken from the NKJV when directly quoted. 395 pgs., hardcover. ~Rebecca

Description
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.
God’s Big Story Level 3 from Generations is a full-year (36-week) reading/Bible program that is full-color, systematic, and user-friendly and speaks the Word of God into the hearts and minds of 3rd grade students. Lessons build upon the biblical stories from Level 1 & 2 with 6 additional stories, including one lesson on the book of Revelation. There are three main components to the Generations Reading program:
- Level 3 Text
- Level 3 Student Workbook
- Read Aloud Package
Speak, study, and explore the Word of God with your students all while fortifying their reading, vocabulary, and grammar skills. The combination of all three components has students engaging with the readings, strengthening comprehension skills, and developing writing skills. Time spent with the read-aloud books introduces students to missionary biographies and Christian fiction and is a great guided time spent with you! ~ Rebecca
