I had never heard of Classical Academic Press before being asked to review their product. I found out that they also sell material in the areas of Logic, Latin, Spanish, Greek, French and Poetry.
Upon receiving the products, I was interested to see how the Old Testament could be presented to children in a way that was interesting and relevant to them.
From CAP's literature: "God has a big story to tell. From beginning to end His Word is action-packed and suspense filled while, at the same time, it's the greatest love story ever written. The aim of the God's Great Covenant Bible curriculum is to relate the Biblical narrative to elementary-aged children in a simple, unified way that emphasizes God's faithfulness through the ages."
The program is a four-year series for students beginning as early as second grade. There are two texts teaching the Old Testament and two teaching the New Testament.
I received the God's Great Covenant Old Testament 1 Bundle, which included a Student Edition, Teacher's Edition and an audio download of Bible stories being read aloud.
These items can all be previewed and purchased from their website:
God's Great Covenant, OT 1: A Bible Course for Children $22.95
God's Great Covenant, OT 1: Teacher's Edition $24.95
God's Great Covenant, OT 1: Audio Files $9.95
All of the above bundled together (in additon to a OT timeline and map set) $79.95
We liked that the stories were written in a format that was interesting, suspenseful and using vocabulary/ideas that the children would be able to understand. Through these chapters and activities, the people in the Bible became real for my kids, along with their struggles, faith, and relationship with God.
The activities/worksheets offered a variety of activities including crossword puzzles and word finds, which are always popular in my house. :-) We were very pleased with these materials and look forward to delving further into them.
