First Grade - Learning God's Story

by My Fathers World

Categories: Parents, Grade 1, Lesson Plans

Suggested Grades: Grade 1, Parents


Product Description:

This first grade set from My Fathers World is much like the Kindergarten set as it has a thematic approach to phonics again. This time children will learn from their phonics-based Bible reader that covers the Bible from Genesis - Revelation. As students read from their phonics-based Bible reader they will also retell (narrate) the story they've read into their own Bible notebook. Students will also get a good grasp on the history of the Bible as they create their own Bible timeline and other hands-on projects.

Through the use of three Usbourne books: Things Outdoors, Science with Water, and Science with plants (all available for sale individually on My Father's World product page for grade 1) students will learn about nature. Included in the Teacher's Manual that accompanies both the Basic Package and the Deluxe Package, My Father's World has given the teacher goals and activities  for the student to learn their math with a hands-on approach to best develop math principles. Along with these activities is a math workbook to help reinforce these skills learned.

*My Father's World does recommend that if your student is not yet reading short vowel words yet he/she may need to begin with the Kindergarten program. You can contact My Father's World for a placement test also.

Delightful Reading Kit

by Simply Charlotte Mason

Categories: Language Arts, Preschool, Early Elementary, Reading

Suggested Grades: Preschool, Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 2

Product Description:

Delightful Reading by Simply Charlotte Mason (SCM) teaches children how to read the Charlotte Mason way.  Charlotte taught children to read with a mix of everything: phonics, sight words, selections from beautiful books, hands-on activities, and fun. Children in beginning grades, Charlotte believed,  needed to have both natural and hands-on approach to reading. This is why Simply Charlotte Mason has created Delightful Reading. 

These lessons are short, gentle lessons to cultivate the habit of attention in your child. The letter and word tiles work perfectly to give the children the hands-on needed to help them grasp the lesson easier. If the letter and word tiles weren't enough fun for your child Simply Charlotte Mason has also included a My Word Book. This book allows the child to write the new words they have learned in their own book. I know my child is very proud when she gets to write her new words in her very own book.

This study has more than 100 most commonly used words for your child to learn. The readings are selected from beautiful writers like Robert Louis Stevenson and Aesop. A CD is provided for you in case you need to reprint some letter/word tiles that, as we all know, can magically disappear without anyone ever seeing where they've gone. :)

Simply Charlotte Mason has given us an overview of this study on their youtube channel. (The video is provided for you below.)
