Take It Home Grade 2 - 3

The most important thing to reinforce at home is personal devotions.  Get a Bible for beginning readers.  Here are some suggestions.
  1. Read and go over the principles with your child.  Initially do devotions with them
  2. Get an easy to read version of the Bible like the NIrV, or the CEV.
  3. Use online resources and audio Bibles like those on http://www.biblegateway.com
Review Wee College teachings.
