420 pages of Attractive reading material for your new reader!

This is a superb first Bible Reader for your beginning reader! Packed with 420 beautifully illustrated and written pages, this will retain the attention of your new reader. Super bright and wonderfully illustrated pictures, creatively written as to teach repetitive phonics sounds throughout each Bible story! Each rhyming storing will reinforce Bibles stories to your new reader, told in a way your child has never heard. Stories are interpreted a little less formal and with a kid friendly approach, maybe to some this may be a turn off, we enjoyed it. Each story chapter focusses on a particular phonics sound, like SH, throughout the story, many words will be highlighted in red that have the SH combination. Each story focusses on a different phonics sound, how creative to highlight those special sounds! Kids easily recognize that sound and through repitition, they get drilled and master that sound. Classic Bible stories illustrated so children will learn the Bible facts as well as reading fundamentals, super concept! No problems with the binding wearing out, my book has held up very well.

Help kids read and learn God's word simultaneously

We started using this as supplemental reading for our then 7 year old. The chapters were short enough for daily readings and it helped him remember basic phonics.

Great Bible for beginning readers!

This is a great Bible for beginning readers and younger. The rhymes make it interesting and funny. My girls (6 & 4) both enjoy when we read this Bible together. I'd definitely recommend it.

Perfect! One of the greatest tools for learning to read!

I bought this for my 5 year old when he was started reading. At first, some of the words were kind of hard but as parents, that's where we step in. It was such a great value. This bible has many little short stories of the bible and each story is a different word lesson. For instance, if they are studying a certain letter, you can read the story with lots of those letters highlighted in red to identify the letter they are studying. The terms are fun and easy. My son reads it to me every night. We love it!! Its a great way to introduce your little ones to the Bible and for them to study it on there own. You don't have to worry about things you don't want your children to known about or other bad books! This is definately worth it!!

A First Step to Restoring the Bible as Primary Reader*...

For those of you who are interested in teaching your child to read and have been frustrated by those limited, silly, graded readers-you'll be delighted with this wonderful first Bible. In our own family's desire to restore the Bible as the primary reader in lieu of the various other readers out there, we wanted a Bible that was kid friendly and incorporated phonics. I thought it was not possible until I stumbled on this Bible! Done in a classical, grammar stage level utilizing rhyme & meter. Example: "The world was new-just two days old. What's next? Get Ready! We are told-This was the day God made the sky-And set it inits place up high-" Text covers short & long vowels, consonant sounds,diagraphs, blends, clusters and silent letters. A great compliment to any phonics system, such as Writing Road to Reading.
