Answers Bible Curriculum (Homeshool)
Teaching the whole counsel of God’s Word through Answers in Genesis 7 C’s of History, students study God’s trustworthiness, attributes, and plan of salvation, while learning to apply biblical truth in their lives. Using age-appropriate lessons, children are also equipped to defend their beliefs. Still in development, there are 2 years available in this chronological 4-year journey through the Bible. Topically, Year 1 begins with creation and concludes with the life of Joseph. Year 2 follows the nation of Israel as the Hebrew people emerged from Egypt. Year 3 traces the history of Israel’s remnant through the captivity until the arrival of the promised Messiah. Year 4 focuses on the final year of Jesus’ ministry and the growth of the church, ending with the promise of the restoration of all things. The ESV Bible is utilized.
Written for homeschool families, Answers Bible Curriculum’s goal is for families to study the Scriptures together. Beginning with the all-in-one Teacher Guide, parents have everything they need to teach from kindergarten through grade 5. Let’s look more into the valuable Teacher Guide. The introduction provides a course description, details regarding curriculum components, and how to use the curriculum. It then provides an overview of the Student Workbook and flexible elements. Grading tips, optional resources, extension ideas and a suggested schedule are also included. Lessons are divided into 36 weeks, at a pace of three days per week for each lesson. Teaching time varies from 25-45 minutes per week, with independent student activity pages scheduled (younger children may require assistance with the student pages). For each lesson, there are lesson summaries, key passages, teaching lesson information, and comprehension questions with answers. The comprehension questions are adaptations of the student workbook questions. Also included in the Teacher Guide are recommended memory verses, memory verse games and lesson review games. Purchase of the Teacher Guide combo also includes access to Building Blocks video lessons and memory songs on the publisher’s website, and related teaching posters. Posters are also available separately. See individual descriptions for more information.
Consumable, colorfully illustrated Student Workbooks include lesson overviews, various activities, study notes, and review questions. Available in levels, each Workbook provides age-appropriate activities that encompasses two grade-levels, which allows for natural flexibility in pacing.
