This free printable curriculum is designed as a verse by verse approach of studying the Bible with children. There are 163 studies from the Old Testament and 162 studies from the New Testament. These studies are from Genesis 1:1 through Revelation 22:21. This material supports studies given in the Old & New Testaments and uses the New King James text. It is currently designed to minister to children ages 1st through 6th grades, but could easily be adapted through the Jr. High age.
Homeschool Facts is the brainchild of a consortium of homeschool parents, licensed educators, counselors and researchers. We are passionate about education choice, and especially the parent's right to choose their child's education.
