Bible Study Guide For All Ages users......

I'm considering purchasing this and cannot figure out which level to start at!

Also......Do I need the teachers guide? How about the timeline and figures?

 

Do you purchase one pack at a time for the students(lesson1-26)? Or do you buy many at once?

 

I've been researching curriculum for so long that I'm in a total fog!!!

 

Thanks for your help!

To determine which worksheets to get - look at the samples online. Read through each and try to determine if your child could do them. The Intermediate sheets start, I believe, at Grade 1 - however there was a little too much writing for my first grader last year. I wanted my kids to be able to do these sheets independently but she couldn't do all the Intermediate level herself.

 

The Teacher's guide is nice, but I generally do not refer to it at all. If you really want to do an indepth study, or have older kids, then you should seriously consider it.

 

I originally got the non-readers timeline (because at the time it fit) but I did not like it. We do not use a separate timeline at all for this. However, if you get the 'new' (non-classic) worksheets, the Intermediate has timeline work every other sheet.

 

We do two lessons a week so I purchase two sets of worksheets for each child for the year. I like to do this so we save on shipping (although I do purchase them from Rainbow Resource since they are cheaper on shipping)

 

Any more questions?

Thanks! I've been at their website looking things over and over. I'm undecided between the beginner and int. level.

 

I'm also wondering about the cd??

For the younger levels I believe you only need the instructor guide if you're doing the timeline.

 

I agree with the other poster, look at the samples, read them, and then make your decision.

 

I purchase enough sheets for the whole year. Rainbow has free shipping over a certain $ amount so I like to get them from there.
