Description
I don't know if this series was designed with the homeschool in mind, but it is well suited for homeschool use. The program is available in four levels and takes a spiral approach to learning. The student will cover some of the same sections of the Bible multiple times during the program, studying each in greater depth at the higher levels. Its emphasis is on studying the Bible, not on promoting any particular denominational viewpoint. Although the NKJV is quoted in the Bible Discovery level, any version of the Bible can be used with the program. Each Student Book is divided into 30 lessons, designed to take a half hour or less. Answer Keys are available for Beginnings II, Discovery, and Quest books. Teacher preparation time is minimal, and, because of the spiral approach, most of the family can study the same sections of the Bible at the same time. Beginnings contains two books with lessons that are short and fast-paced. Bible Beginnings II is designed for the elementary student who is ready to read and write on his own. Discovery and Quest lessons include Bible reading, comprehension, and review questions. This series would be an excellent starting point for lifelong Bible study.
