Jenn Robinson Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hello ladies! We have just gotten the Golden Bible and my 8 yr old thinks it's beautiful! I was wondering about the workbooks from Memoria Press. I looked at their samples on line but I was still wondering what kind of experience you had with them. Did you use them or read the Bible without? Did the kids write the answers or answer orally? If you think this is a good program to be used as it is, what makes it better than others? Any thought would be great!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thought would be great!:) We did all 3 volumes and enjoyed them. We did them mostly orally together. I thought it was a nice supplement. I have volume 2 (student book and teacher) if you are interested in buying a used copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2att Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 We did them mostly orally as well. You could just buy the TG and ask the questions from that. I liked the series for dd--a very systematic, matter-of-fact Bible study. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayT Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 We just started using this and I bought the Teachers and the workbook. I am enjoying it but we are not using the workbook. We are really just having a laid back time answering orally and just bunny trailing. I will only buy the Teachers for the next level.

mcconnellboys Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 There can be a lot of written work in them and I really think they're better for kids a little older (although that's not how the company grades them). You can always do it orally this time around and use them again, later, in writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningirl71 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Hi! We have the workbook and teacher guide, but we mainly do this orally as well. Dd and I take turns reading the Bible, we find the locations talked about on a map and then questions are done orally. Sometimes I'll have her write out a Bible verse as copywork and she does write out the reviews. She is in 5th grade doing the new testament. We do the lesson for the week all in one day since she is older. I couldn't imagine doing that with a younger child though. I was mainly looking for something to teach Bible literacy (basic sequence of events, memorizing the books of the Bible, knowing how to thumb through a Bible) rather than a Bible study. Dd already does a bible study everyday on her own when she wakes up. That coupled with church activities is enough, imo. So, the MP studies have really fit the bill for what I wanted, but you could definitely go more in depth, take more time to do it as a bible study. The teacher's manual is basically the student workbook but with answers written in it. HTH!:) ETA: Sorry! It would help if I answer the question! I would say workbook not needed, but it has been nice for us each to have our own copy so we both have the questions in front of us! If your child is more auditory and really doesn't care about seeing the questions, I would definitely save the $ on the workbook!

Jenn Robinson Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Wow! Thank you all for your quick responses. It sounds like just buying the TM and doing it orally might be the way to go! Thank you for recommending it! I would still love to hear how everyone else uses it if there are any others with experience. It sounds like it is a good program.
