King Alfred Academy Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Here is the link...http://www.bibledraw.com/index.html What are your experiences with it? What age range do you think would benefit more from it? My guys will be in 1st and 3rd. Is it too distracting? Do you find that they focus more one what is being drawn then what is being said? Does that really matter? Is this a program that can be used from year to year? Meaning...Can I stretch it out over a few years? Thank you! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petepie2 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I saw this at a conference and ordered it; although I haven't received it yet. I spoke to the authors of the curriculum and asked some of these questions. Now let me see if I can remember the answers! I THINK she said it was originally designed for 5th-8th grade, although they have successfully used it with younger students, such as 3rd grade (like in Sunday School). She said in those cases, they would give word lists for them to copy from for the part they were suppose to write in the picture. She said for even younger students, you could just give them the picture to color. This may be more ideal if you were going through it with older children and wanted to include younger siblings. However, it would be most beneficial for those who are able to do most of the drawing/tracing on their own. She said in the Christian schools they went through the program in a year (I THINK...maybe it was 2 years)....but she said if you're doing it at home that you should take a much slower pace and do only a section of the picture (book of the Bible) at a time... I asked her about repeating it, and she said that most (older) kids retain so much from it that there isn't usually a need to go back through the program again. However, if you started the program with a younger child (especially if they start out just coloring the page), then you could most definitely go through it again when they can handle the drawing/tracing/writing..... So with all that I THINK I remember, 1st-3rd grade may be a little young to get the MOST out of the program.... When my husband gets home, i'll ask him if he remembers anything else about it....or if anything i said needs correcting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petepie2 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I received the curriculum today in the mail. On the cover, it says "designed for 4th grade through adult"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyL Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I googled this program and found this post. Thanks for the information! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillpike Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I LOVE the Picture This materials!! I used it one year as we read through Genesis to 2nd Kings. The kids STILL remember all that we read because it helped them get all the details organized in their mind. We used it for 1st through 9th grade, and it was great.

Hunter Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Ecclesiastes is weird. I don't get the point the author is trying to make. Check out the drunk Solomon holding a glass of beer, The curriculum as a whole seems to stress the idea that all scripture is inspired, but I'm not sure if the author thinks Ecclesiastes is inspired. There are lots of facts thrown out, but I don't understand the big picture the author is trying to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPMommy Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I don't have experience with this one, but some of the drawing based bible curriculum from Notgrass sounds similar. I love their bible curriculum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethben Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I have this for sale if anyone is interested. My children (boys) apparently rebel against anything that smacks of drawing. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
