Thank you so much for this video. Your ideas, the extra material and the flip trough are very helpful. I was looking for a Bible curriculum where they can learn not just the Bible but how it applies to life and engaging enough for a kindergarten. I really liked their workbook and it is a cool idea that they would read the whole Bible in 4 years 💙
I just found this curriculum online at Christianbooks. Thank you so much for your review, this helps me a great deal. This is exactly what we are looking for.
THank you so much for sharing this resource with us. I have a kindergarten and I love how he can read the whole bible in 4 years in orden so he undertand the timeline. If he starts it in first grade (When he is 6), he would have read the bible by 9/10. I love how they learn about each book and the actual word of God not just life application. Such a complete bible study
This video is extremely helpful and informative! Thank you so much! I have this study on my curriculum list and I've been asking friends how they liked it (the response is always so positive!) but your video finally gave me a glimpse of what's inside. I'll definitely be ordering. I appreciate the time you took to film this. I love Answers in Genesis!
Thank you for the video. I have a question, based on your experience, is kindergartener expected to able to read and write before starting this curriculum?
No. At this age, I read everything because I know they are starting to learn how to read. Plus not every child is ready to write well because their bones in their hands are not fully done developing. For example, I used a highlighter to copy down the verse for the week, and my child would write over the top of that. I would use the color page for when I was teaching the lesson. Then help them w/ the other worksheets (sometimes still using a highlighter if needed). Then we would talk through the Review Questions at the end. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions ☺️ I also have playlists for Years 1-3 so far to help with scripture memorization on here 😁 🎶
I know this is an older video and I may not get a response but we are thinking of pulling out kids out of school to homeschool with this program. I'm scared bc I'm not a teacher and I'm not structured. Does it get easier? Is it scary for someone like me. My kids don't get along 11, 9, and 5 altho the younger 2 are besties. And I have a hard time keeping my house straight when they are here. How does all that work out?
Your family will definitely be blessed by using AiG 🥰 You don't have to be a teacher to teach or help your children with their education. That is a lie that our world (& Satan) has fed us for decades. God has given us our children as a blessing, & as their parents we are commanded to, "You shall teach them diligently to your children, & shall talk of them when you sit in your house, & when you walk by the way, & when you lie down, & when you rise." (Deuteronomy 6:7) So it is our responsibility to raise & train our children in the ways of the Lord. In my 8yrs homeschooling, some things do get easier, but we still have some difficult times. Remember we are all sinners, so our raising & training of our children won't be perfect. We won't get everything right. But that's where the grace of God comes in. We need to trust Him & allow Him to lead & guide us. We can't do any of this on our own. I do know that you love your children way more than anyone in the public school system ever would. I doesn't matter what ages children are they will have times of not getting along, bickering, etc. Again we are all sinners. As their parents we are to lead, guide them, & help them with their heart issues & continue to point them to Christ. I do recommend combining certain subjects. This will make it easier on you, & your children will have that together time w/in the structure of your homeschool. We love to combine: Bible, History, & Electives. With your older 2 children you could even combine them for Science, while your youngest just tags along to listen. I also like to use A Simple Plan planner to help me organize our homeschool days to keep us on task. With your home remember you guys are there everyday, so that won't be perfect either. It's different being home everyday & not gone like people are when they sent their children off to a different building for school. I recommend having you children have a set routine in the morning before you start school. For example, make their beds, get dressed, brush their teeth & hair, make & eat breakfast. Teach them how to pick up after themselves. Then set a time to start school. We like to start school around 8:30-9a (that works for us). We have a time range for lunch. Then finish a few things afterwards. My friends like having an alarm set on their phone sometime in the afternoon. This is for everyone to help pick up the house, sweep the floors, etc. All of this won't be perfect. Just keep at it. There even may be times of years by everyone. But don't give up. It's a learning process. Things in my home are still not perfect & they won't ever be. That's unrealistic & I'm setting myself up for failure. One thing I know is true, is that you will never look back on this time you have with your children with regret. But if you were to send them away for school & all those years go by someone else is getting all that time with them & that will have regret because you would never get that time back with them again. Praying for you are your family. Pulling your children out to homeschool is the best decision you can make for your family. You won't have any regrets about it. I highly recommend following my friend on UA-cam--Mandy the Handmade Homeschooler. She even has a free FB group I help her with. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Happy to help 🙂
Thank you so much for making this flip through video, so helpful. May I ask did you prefer this to summits building on the rock bible curriculum? I'm trying to decide between the two. Thank you so much.
I do prefer AiG:ABC over Summits. It looks like Summits’ is “morality” or “topically” based. Where AiG is going chronically through the whole Bible in 4yrs. Plus you can teach multiple ages of children at once, verses Summit having a different book and teacher guide for each grade. Hope this helps with your decision ☺️
It looks like the 2 are a completely different approach to Bible. I have never used the Road Trip one. From what I can see that one seems more like notebooking and a different route while reading scripture. AiG is more family style, you read through the lesson with all your children with areas to read scripture chronologically through the Bible and it explains what is going on and why. Then you can have your children work on their level of workbook that goes over main points from the lesson and can watch a “Building Block” video that summarizes the lesson with scripture, explanation, and some fun activities that Avery & Bryan do to help explain the lesson for the week.
I have a question that hopefully you can help with? I currently am homeschooling my Kindergartener using this curriculum- Year 1. We do one lesson each week and he should finish before this summer. The thing I’m confused about is next year, do I buy the year 2 K-1 workbook? I don’t understand the difference between year 1 and year 2. Hopefully you can help me with this question.
Yes. Next year you would purchase Year 2 K-1 workbook. Year 1 covers Creation to Joseph. Year 2 covers Moses to Hosea. Then they are releasing Year 3 soon. Then Year 4 next year. So in 4 years you will have covered the whole Bible, and you would cycle through it again at the appropriate workbook age level
@@amanda_faithfamilyfitnesswhat do you mean by "cycle through it again at the age apporiate workbooks"?.... If you start with K-1 for example in the first year why would you go through it again the next year if the child is older & past that level? Also, being that Kindergarten is one grade level and 1st grade is another grade level do they break it down that way so you have a side for the Kindergarten and a side for the 1st graders? Both grade levels are vastly different leraning wise and I'm just trying to understand.
@@spiritualsoulchild there are 4 years of this curriculum (Year 4 being released in Jan 2024). For example, my youngest will cycle through the 4yrs again, but would be at the highest level workbook 4/5 with adding in the “Prepare to Share” section and vocab from the Teacher Guide once in middle school (like my current middle schooler does). My oldest will move onto high school level courses after just 1 cycle. We are currently on Year 3 and have loved it sooo much! Best decision we have ever made in our 8yrs of homeschooling 🥰
Wonderful flip thru! I saw the "before you teach lesson" for the teacher to read solo. Where does the actual lesson you're reading to kids from? Is it also in the teachers guide or is it directly from the Bible?:)
How so? You open to the Weekly lesson, read through it, stop at the Bible references to read in your Bible, and continue on with the lesson. We do it in 2 days and they split up the worksheets for my children into those days too
Are you worried that the weekly lesson will be too much for your kindergartner? Are you doing anything to modify? I bought the curriculum for my 5 year old and am worrying it will be over his head.
No. At this point it’s exposure for them. They really simplified it so multiple ages can come together. This Homeschool edition was just released in January of this year. So modification like the Sunday School edition isn’t needed 🙂
Actually it’s been perfect for our family. We have seen the tremendous growth with our scripture understanding and knowledge. More importantly, our relationship with Christ has strengthened. We are currently on Year 2 😁
@@amanda_faithfamilyfitness happy for you that it worked! It’s too much reading for the parent I found. I prefer the open and go concept with videos to support
Thanks for a helpful video!

Could I use only the teachers guide as a read aloud and not get the student workbooks?
Yes! The information in the Teacher’s Guide is amazing as a read aloud. Highly recommend it!
Super helpful thank you!!

Do you know anything about Road trip through the bible by thinking kids press and how that compares to this? I'm torn between the 2.

Thank you! It is in the Teacher’s Guide right after the “Prepare to Share” section. Plus it directs you to read in your Bible.
Is there any mention of Hebrew words/meanings? and biblical feasts?
Yes there is 🙂
@@amanda_faithfamilyfitness wonderful!
@@amanda_faithfamilyfitness I updated the question.. what about biblical feasts?
This 1st year goes from Creation to Joseph. Then the next year is Moses to Hosea. So this year hasn’t covered feasts yet 🙂
@@amanda_faithfamilyfitness makes sense...
do the posters come with it or are they sold seperately?
They come with it 🙂
How did it go? I find the teachers book so complicated and not open and go
How so? You open to the Weekly lesson, read through it, stop at the Bible references to read in your Bible, and continue on with the lesson. We do it in 2 days and they split up the worksheets for my children into those days too
How did it go
Amazing! We all learned sooo much. We are getting ready to start their Year 3 next week 🥰
