Three years ago I finished the 4 Year Curriculum, 2nd Edition. The response was amazing, and it continues to be the chosen curriculum by many to prepare their children and students for kindergarten. Next up for a complete remodel was the 5 Year Curriculum. Thinking I could finish it that same year, God had a little different timing. But the wait is finally over. The 5 Year Curriculum, 2nd Edition is now available, and you are going to LOVE using it.
Let’s see what you can expect.
Teaching Tips
The 5 Year Curriculum was created to use as a transitional curriculum between Pre-K (4 Year Curriculum) and Kindergarten, or as a kindergarten supplement. To guide this fun time, 5 Year Curriculum Guide is FILLED with teaching tips to help you be successful. I explain the why’s and how’s in ways that a teaching degree isn’t required.
WHY the objective is included in the curriculum and WHY it is so important for the child’s academic and Biblical foundation.
HOW to implement the objectives into your classroom or home. HOW to make the learning play-based.
Here are a few questions that are answered in the Lesson Plans:
Why should children learn to rhyme and how does it help with reading?
How do I teach?
How do I explain the Bible in a way the child will understand?
Themes
Themes are a feature that preschool teachers wanted added to the curricula! So, I listened! Each week covers a topic such as Keeping My Body Strong, Umbrellas, In the Sky, and Traveling Around. Then, the math, social science, and science activities, poems and rhymes, and Book of the Week coincide with the theme! 💕 You have the opportunity to take the themes as far as you desire with additional crafts, field trips, products, books, dress-up days, videos….the sky is the limit.
Pre-Reading
Probably my favorite new aspect of the 5 Year Curriculum: 2nd Edition is the addition of pre-reading activities. The phonemic awareness activities help a child be able to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds. These activities include poems, rhymes, learning syllables, Word Families, and rhyming. All of these are important for a child to be able to truly read his or her first words.
And…
I haven’t even told you about how the 5 Year Workbook has been redrawn and is completely horizontal allowing for little bodies to easily use the activity sheets.
Or, that pragmatic activities are include in each review week to help children navigate meeting new people, attending birthday parties, understand safety, and more.
Or, how about the Visual Perception worksheets now coincide with the theme.
Or, how the new layout of the Lesson Plans makes it super easy to follow.
Oh wait…I haven’t told you how every Bible verse contains a piggyback song so that you don’t have to find a CD. And if you don’t know a song, videos have been added to the ABCJLM website for you to be able to watch!
Ooo…did you know that there are now Interactive Bible Stories to lead you in teaching your child or students the Bible in fun and age-appropriate ways?
I could go on and on, because I am so excited for the potential in this curriculum to give a child a solid foundation in learning.
But don’t take my word for it…
