Today I am coming to you from our homeschool room. I wanted to chat a minute about a wonderful new curriculum we started using from BJU Press. Our Sammie, third grade, recently started Adventures in Reading 3A from BJU Press. SHE LOVES IT!
My goals for Sammie were to foster the joy of reading and look at stories through a biblical worldview.
Although there are many more goals that BJU Press has for this curriculum such as:
- encourage fluency
- teach vocabulary in context
- enhance comprehension
There is more than enough extra teaching information in the Teachers Key. I am finding myself not even utilizing all the information they give you in the workbook. We have only been doing the pages that apply to the stories we are reading. They give you extra pages for skills.
I have yet to use the Teacher's Toolkit CD that comes with this curriculum. That kit contains many aids to assist with phonics, vocab, comprehension and more. I hope to review this prior to introducing her to it.
We have made it through the first four lessons in less than 2 weeks. So far, so good.
It is spot on for a third grader and plenty of "extras" are included. I love that all of the teaching tools and questions are right there for me laid out in the teacher 's edition. Less work I have to do is always a plus!
