Ohio12 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Tried this in General and got nothin! Anyone here? Just read a thread about loving MFW curriculum for first and second grade. This led to a blog post by someone saying she would read dd a section of the MFW Bible curriculum and have her daughter narrate it. That is what I want to start with dd next year. She will be doing half K half First grade material. BUT I don't really want to get MFW curriculum. Can anyone recommend a Bible story book for age 6-8 ish that you love? We have "The Jesus Storybook Bible" http://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Storyboo...7853653&sr=8-1 and absoluelty love it, but need something a little more in depth to read next. Anyone used any by Macarthur?

midwestbelle Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 and really enjoy it. I use it along with the coloring sheets from the Calvary Chapel website. Egermeier's Bible Story Book Calvary Chapel HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie in NE Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 by Catherine Vos, along with "The Big Picture Bible Timeline" for coloring pages. All 4 of my dc have enjoyed it. jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPan Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Right now dh is reading dd Vos. For several years they used the Read n' Grow Picture Bible published by Zondervan. It has realistic pictures and text under each cell, very thorough, a definite fav around here. Also, your dc are old enough to each have their own NIrV Bible. The NIrV is an NIV taken down to a 3rd grade reading level. Even though we don't read the NIV, preferring NASB, I made a huge exception for this with my dd. The Adventurer's Bible in NIrV has large text, a sturdy cover, and reasonably realistic illustrations. (Can you tell that's an issue to us? lol) I'm actually about to get my dd an NASB for her birthday, need to get that ordered. She's spent the last 4 years reading the NIrV very profitably. Basically as soon as she could read, I put it in her hands and said she could read it every night, staying up as long as she wanted. She reads that along with a Keys for Kids devotional. Now K4K is a bit, um, contemporary in topics and dealings sometimes, touching on things homeschool kids don't necessarily see, but the price is right (free) and overall it's fine.

FriedClams Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 and really enjoy it. I use it along with the coloring sheets from the Calvary Chapel website. Egermeier's Bible Story Book Calvary Chapel HTH I totally agree about Egermeier's - we use it and love it. I think the lessons are less wordy than the Vos story book Bible.

Harriet Vane Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 It's very comprehensive and the language is simple. My two kids have enjoyed using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 We also use Egermeier's and plan on using it again next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narrow Gate Academy Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Another vote for Egermeier's at this age. My girl's loved it. We read through it when my oldest was in first and my other daughter was preK. I plan to use it again with the almost 4 yo in a couple of years.

ELaurie Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Another vote for the Vos Story Bible and Bible Time line here :) Here's a link to sample pages at amazon.com Child's Story Bible But you can't go wrong with either one. Spend some time at a book store if you can, reading stories in both to get a feel for which you would prefer. You may also be able to get copies through inter-library loan.

Donna T. Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 We're reading through Egermeier's right now. Both of my are really enjoying it. We used the coloring sheets from Calvary Chapel along with it for awhile, but we eventually began to read it at bedtime instead. I used MFW First Grade and loved the narrations, but you can accomplish the same thing with any Bible Storybook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie in TN Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 We, too, love the Vos Children's Story Bible.. We've been reading through it slowly over the past year and a half. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELaurie Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I read the OT to my ds 8 when he was 5 and the NT when he was 6. When he was 7, I read the entire Vos Child's Story Bible to him again. It was wonderful reading, and I still love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie in NE Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Jackie, Can you tell me more about this resource? It sounds very interesting. Blessings, I bought this book through the Veritas Press catalog. It is in the K and 1st grade section. The Big Picture Bible Timeline compiled by Carol Eide. If I knew how to link here, I would link you to it on the VP website. Helas, I am still a neophyte, and it's past my bedtime. :001_huh: But you can easily find it at veritaspress.com HTH, Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
