Morning Time Vol. 2 is a 36-week guide that includes daily Bible and devotional readings, prayer prompts, Scripture memory, a hymn study, catechism memorization using the New City Catechism, and a study of the fine arts. Like Morning Time Volume 1, it is divided into 3 twelve-week terms: Creation, the Fall and Redemption, and Our Future Hope. In Volume 1, the main stories of the Bible are covered. In Vol. 2, the term themes are studied through the Psalms. Volume 2 also includes optional suggestions for family read-alouds for both older and younger children. Additional resources are required. Most of these resources are available at the local library or as a “read-aloud” on YouTube. Many of these living books are wonderful read-alouds to enjoy again and again, so when possible, we have made the books available for your convenience. This is a wonderful opportunity to begin the day as a family, learning God’s Word and enriching your life through the fine arts.

Description
What better way to set our day in motion than by hearing
God’s Word, singing timeless hymns, reading aloud, and feasting on the
finest literature, art, and music together?
This 122-page, open-and-go guide includes:
By the end of 36 weeks of study with your children, you will have read through many of the central stories of the Bible, learned 9 hymns, studied 6 famous composers and artists and enjoyed their work, and even journeyed alongside 3 courageous Christian missionaries. You’ll also have the option to spend time reading classic literature aloud with your children.
This plan utilizes a handful of “living books” that will need to be borrowed or purchased for the Bible/devotional readings, read-aloud selections, composer and artist study. The Scripture memory, hymn study, prayers, and poetry are all included within the plans themselves.
I sincerely hope that the outcome of the time you spend with these Morning Time plans is beyond that of just gaining head knowledge. I pray God uses it to transform hearts.
Morning Time from Brighter Day Press is a guided discovery into God’s Word and the fine arts that provides a beautiful start to your homeschool day. Each volume is divided into three twelve-week terms: Creation, the Fall and Redemption, and Our Future Hope. Throughout each term, Scripture reading and memorization is purposeful, encompassing the entire narrative of the Bible. “Living Books” are thoughtfully selected and essential to the study of the fine arts. Three volumes are available.
Each open-and-go volume provides a 36-week schedule that incorporates:
- Bible reading and devotions
- Prayer and Scripture memory
- Hymns and Catechism (New City Catechism)
- 3 Composers each year
- 3 Artists/Picture Studies each year
- Poetry
- Optional recommended Read-Alouds at 2 levels (ages 4–7 and ages 6–10)
How It Works:
Each day, families read Scripture together, sing the hymn of the week, and practice their Scripture memory verse(s). The catechism question is reviewed one to two times per week. Three days per week are set aside for the study of the arts with a different focus each day: a composer, an artist (or picture study), and a poetry reading. Families may wish to conclude their Morning Time here. Other families may wish to continue with the optional read-aloud.
