I received these materials to review. I was asked to provide an honest review, and all opinions are 100% my own. I was not compensated in any way for this post.
It’s that time of year when school supplies are appearing in the stores and homeschool moms and dads are picking out and ordering curriculum for the coming year! In the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing what we thought of our curriculum from last year and what we will be using this year when we start back up in August!
But today I wanted to start with a curriculum that could be used by any family, or church for that matter!
ABC – Answers Bible Curriculum is a brand new resource from Answers in Genesis!
Answers Bible Curriculum is a full-featured, chronological, 3-year Sunday school program. Its 156 lessons are synchronized across 7 age groups from preschool to adults. Each group covers Genesis through Revelation and learns the same material—but at different levels of depth—empowering exciting and easy discussion for the entire family!
Even though Answers Bible Curriculum was designed for Sunday school, the curriculum has a great set-up for homeschool as well!
Answers Bible Curriculum {all levels} emphasizes these key concepts:
- The Bible is Trustworthy – We can trust all of God’s Word.
- God’s Attributes – God’s attributes are displayed throughout the Bible.
- Chronological/Historical Teaching – The Bible presents true history, not just “stories.”
- The Bible’s Redemption – God’s plan of redemption is woven throughout Scripture.
- Apologetics – We must be ready to give an answer for what we believe.
- Life Application – We are to live in light of what the Bible teaches.
This curriculum provides an important, priceless foundation for our children’s faith. We received the Grades 1 & 2 level to review. Each quarter kit includes lesson plans for the teacher, student guides/take-home sheets, colorful posters, and a resource DVD-ROM.
A few things we love about ABC so far:
*Well-laid out lessons with lots of information to prepare the teacher. I absolutely love all the background they give me as a teacher, including spiritual, apologetics, and historical information.
*Colorful posters to illustrate main points and capture their attention. I have very visual boys so this was the first thing they were drawn to! And I’ve seen them learn and memorize things all on their own just from posters up around the house, so I can’t wait to have these up in our house!
*Activity sheets for the students to do after the lesson. In a Sunday school setting, these would be take-home sheets, but for using at home, we do them as lesson follow-up! Word searches, coloring pages, daily verses to read as a family to reinforce that week’s lesson, and much more are included on these colorful sheets!
*The kids are actually exploring the Bible. I don’t want my kids to just hear stories from the Bible, I want them to read it themselves! This level of the curriculum has the kids opening their Bibles and talking through what they see on the page! I love that!
I talked yesterday about the boys’ morning Bible time, but this is going to be a family Bible time thing for us. We will do one lesson a week and split that lesson up over a few days when necessary and appropriate! This curriculum is very adaptable!
