Bible History for Children and Youth: Text and Workbook

By Habakkuk Educational Materials and Michele Hathaway

"Bible History for Children and Youth (Text and Workbook)" begins with the story of Creation in the Old Testament and ends with a discussion of Revelation, the last book of the New Testament. This book is appropriate for children as young as six and can be read independently by third-grade students and up. It was designed to improve a student's reading skills while learning about Bible history. Each story is followed by a list of questions meant to test their comprehension over what was read. The questions can be answered individually by students while silently reading or after reading aloud, or they can be used for discussion purposes during reading groups. (Answers are available in "Teacher Resources and Answer Keys to Accompany Bible History for Children and Youth," which is sold separately and also comes with several reading comprehension game ideas and question cards about the stories to cut apart for the games.) The stories also provide the correct pronunciation of certain Bible names used in the story. From your eBook, you can click on the red Bible name to hear the pronunciation audibly. Paperback readers can refer to the pronunciation guide. In addition, many of the stories have illustrations that can be filled in with colored pencils or crayons, and several even include reproductions of famous paintings in the public domain, such as Carl Bloch's "Sermon on the Mount." Moreover, the stories provide a link to freebibleimages.org, where you will find a more thorough set of illustrations and slides to display on your computer screen or interactive whiteboard as the story is read. (For quick access to these images, it is recommended that a teacher have her eBook available, as you can go directly to the story's illustrations on their website by clicking on the link beneath the title.) What's more, 39 Bible verses, mostly taken from the New American Standard Bible, are available for display at the end of the eBook and have also been posted on the Habakkuk Educational Materials website for the benefit of paperback readers. Each verse comes with its own tune to assist children with its memorization. Simply click on the arrow to hear it played. The Old and New Testament stories teach students the ways of God and how He operated in the lives of His people. In the Old Testament section, students will learn how God kept His promise to give the children of Israel the land of Canaan, as well as how He responded to the prayers of such persons as Hannah, David, and Hezekiah when they cried out to Him for help. In the New Testament section, they will read about Jesus' teachings, His love and compassion for all people, the sacrifice He made for us, and the mission His followers embarked on to spread the Good News. In addition, this book elaborates on Old Testament prophecies that were fulfilled, including the Babylonian captivity and the suffering Messiah. The history behind certain Jewish and Christian holidays are also examined in this book, such as Passover, Purim, and Palm Sunday, as well as the significance behind the Lord's Supper. "Bible History for Children and Youth" is a part of the Habakkuk Educational Materials reading program, designed to teach primary-grade students how to read.
