Bible for Homeschoolers April 3, 2013 By Bekki Leave a Comment This content may contain affiliate links.Why Teach Bible? The easy to read version of Isaiah 55:11 says it best, “In the same way, my words leave my mouth, they don’t come back without results. My words make the things happen that I want to happen. They succeed in doing what I send them to do.” Reading The Bible is like drinking pure natural spring water. Not only will it wet your whistle, it will bring much needed minerals to support your body. It is also an excellent springboard for studying history! Bible 101 for Homeschoolers: Read the Bible together Read from different versions (Choose an easy to understand version for young children) Read the Proverbs of the day (There are 31 Proverbs. Look a the calendar. If today is the 5th, read Proverbs 5. If today is the 29th, Read Proverb 29) Study the history of the Bible. You could spend your lifetime studying Biblical history and comparing it to what you read in “school books”. Choose Bible focused Curriculum. Pray together. Listen to Worship music. Write hymns as creative writing assignments. Use Bible verses as copywork and handwriting exercises. Focus on great Bible stories (like David and Goliath, or Ester) read the stories, draw pictures about the events. Read a Bible story and then enjoy a movie that correlates to it. (Joseph King of Dreams, Veggie Tales, Prince of Egypt, etc) Compare and contrast the biblical account and that of a movie or book.
