What are using for Bible/devotions/ character for your first grader?

[iteachmine]

I'm not sure why, but I haven't found a program/method that I am totally happy with for my soon to be first grader dd5.11.

 

For K4 we used a BOZ character workbook. She liked it but I didn't feel it was enough. For K we have been using a combination of Leading Little Hearts to God (I love this book), Rod and Staff Bible Stories book & coloring book, along with Betty Lukens felt.

 

I definitely want more verse memorization. She is a crafty girl, so implementing that would be helpful,and keep her focused.

 

Any reccomendations or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

We did not use the full MFW 1st grade curriculum, but I did use the combination of the Bible stories in the TM, the Bible reader and the Student Bible Notebook for our Bible time during our K/1st year. I loved the set up of her hearing the story one day, reading it herself the next and then copying a sentence or two from the reader and illustrating the story in the notebook. It was a beautiful process. However, I know that it is an expensive program to purchase only to use partway.

 

Another devotion we used was Stepping Stones to Bigger Faith for Little People. And, we have been very happy with the Rod and Staff readers as well.
