A day by day account of Joshua and the historical battle of Jericho. Throughout the reading of A Week with Joshua: The Battle of Jericho children learn the days of the week, laugh at the seven priests blowing their trumpets, search for the sight of change made to Jericho each day, enjoy the around and around and around coming to a dramatic end by the walls tumbling down, and begin to understand that God has surprising plans for us all.
It is a common practice for Christian families, schools and churches to read Bible stories to young children, but they only use secular books for the process of learning to read. What if we could add another set of books to make learning to read even better. The “better” is children using Bible stories to assist in the process of learning to read. The process of retelling Bible stories with repetitive language is a proven method for strengthening literacy and deepening understanding.
This approach is a winner on three key fronts:
By weaving repetition into Bible storytelling, children not only grow as readers but also embrace the timeless wisdom of these cherished narratives - creating a strong foundation for both literacy and faith. In addition to being powerful resources for children learning to read, these books have become a favorite purchase for grandparents looking to encourage and foster a love of Jesus in generations to follow.
