Telling God's Story

The program includes comprehensive teacher support through detailed guides and background materials for parents without formal theological training.

Includes 'A Parent's Guide to Teaching the Bible' explaining methodology and 'Instructor Text & Teaching Guide' with background information and ready-to-read lessons

The curriculum provides structured direct instruction with teacher-read lessons and clear background information for parents.

Each lesson begins with 'What the Parent Should Know' background information followed by 'text that you can read directly to children' providing clear instructional guidance

The curriculum includes adapted Scripture passages read aloud, but these are simplified versions rather than direct engagement with primary biblical texts.

Each lesson contains 'an adapted version of the Scripture passage to be read aloud to children' rather than original biblical text

Limited historical context is provided, with the curriculum focusing primarily on moral and practical applications of biblical stories.

Lessons include 'background information about the Scripture passage and its meaning' but emphasis is on 'practical situations to help children understand the meaning and application'

The program builds systematic knowledge through organized themes but focuses more on practical application than deep theological concepts.

Each year cycles through nine consistent themes (Stories Jesus Told, Miracles, Teachings, etc.) with 'key lessons to be learned from stories of the Bible' emphasized over doctrinal instruction

No explicit religious or theological vocabulary instruction is mentioned in the curriculum structure.

Review mentions activities like 'coloring pages, games, memory work, hands-on projects' but does not reference vocabulary development or theological terminology
