Little Johnny's Faith Adventures


Book Description

Little Johnnys Faith Adventures: Our Beginnings is the first in a series of books that teaches children foundational biblical principles using everyday life situations and interactive lessons. My goal is to help parents and bible study teachers teach Gods word to children ages seven and below in a fun and creative manner. This book contains four stories about the daily adventures of Little Johnny followed by five bible study lessons, which can be taught in a classroom setting. Parents or teachers have the option of simply reading the stories about Little Johnny or teaching the lessons that little Johnny has learned. However, the two may be combined to get the most out of the book. Proverbs 22:6 says, Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. As a parent or teacher, this is the best investment you can ever make in a childs life. So, join Little Johnny today as he learns about Gods Word. The stories and lessons in this book are based upon Genesis 1-4. For more information, visit www.jacquiwilson.net. See you there!

Arranged thematically, topics include Me and My Family, Animals, How We Look and Feel, Around the World, and I know... Colors, Shapes, Numbers, Weather, and Seasons. There are also four "story style" spreads that tell a simple narrative and inspire storytelling skills: for example, All in a Day is about a young child's typical day, and "If I Were a Pet" looks at a dog, cat, rabbit, fish, and pony, and imagines what these different animals might like to do. The book is packed with clearly labeled pictures, encouraging picture-and-word association, which helps early reading, and every page features short sentences for children to finish that reinforce grammar and encourage early writing skills. The words have been chosen with the help of a leading educational consultant, Penny Coltman, and include a combination of useful and imaginative nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Young children will be amazed and delighted by all the fascinating real-world photos, things to spot, entertaining artworks to talk about, and incredibly useful words! This fun and educational picture word book is a must-have first reference title for parents who are keen to develop their child's language and literacy skills.
