(The books for Unit 1 are pictured. Units 2-5 are not shown.)
Grade 1 of the Bible Nurture and Reader Series is planned to provide texts and workbooks for the pupil's basic needs in the first grade, with the exception of arithmetic and music. It correlates reading, phonics, language, spelling, and penmanship. The readers and workbooks are arranged in 5 units with 30 lessons in each unit, making a total of 150 lessons. Each lesson has five divisions: Reader, Reading Workbook, Phonics Workbook, Worksheet, and the optional Printing Practice. All of these divisions relate to one another in a given lesson, thus thoroughly acquainting the child with the lesson for the each day.
Readers
We Learn About God (Unit 1)
We Learn More About God (Units 2-3)
We Learn About God's People (Units 4-5)
The first unit has the story of the Creation and the Fall of Man. The second unit reviews the story of the Creation and continues with stories of Cain, Abel, and Noah, incorporating practical applications. The lessons in the third unit are in poetry form and include stories from the Creation until after the Flood. The fourth unit contains stories about Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The fifth unit contains stories about Joseph and Jesus. The story of Jesus is from the Gospel of Matthew.
Reading Workbooks
The reading workbooks have two pages for each lesson. The exercises are closely associated to the corresponding lesson in the readers. These exercises include practice with the vocabulary words, practice in writing sentences, drills for developing comprehension skills, and seatwork in various forms.
Phonics Workbooks
The phonics workbooks have two pages for each lesson. The first unit teaches the basic single consonant sounds as well as the short and long vowel sounds. The following four units continue to teach and review letter sounds and their combinations, give practice with phonetic words, and provide seatwork in phonics.
Worksheets Workbooks
The worksheets provide constructive seatwork and exercises in cutting, pasting, etc. There is generally one worksheet for each day, which is perforated for removal. In the first three units, the worksheets are closely associated with the reading lesson or the Bible memory verse. In the fourth unit are language worksheets; in the last unit a picture dictionary is made.
Printing Practice
The printing books that accompany this series are included in Grade 1 only, and it is appropriate to transfer to the penmanship series for the following grades. The BNRS Printing Practice teaches the formation of each letter as it is introduced for reading purposes.
The Penmanship for Christian Writing Series gives more emphasis on strokes. Letters are introduced according to similarity in strokes. Either system can be used very effectively.
Teacher's Manuals
The teacher's manuals for Unit 1, Units 2 and 3, and Units 4 and 5 include instructions for both phonics and reading. (Brief directions are also given for the worksheets and printing practice.) There are general suggestions for teaching the various concepts as well as detailed procedures for teaching each lesson. The manuals include vocabulary and comprehension drills and reductions of the workbook pages, with the answers in red. By carefully following the directions, the inexperienced teacher can teach phonics with the satisfaction of knowing what to teach and how to present it effectively to the class.
(You can also order the consumables-only set for an additional student.)
