{disclaimer ~ we were given Integrity Time Bible free of charge to review and have decided personally to use it as an ongoing part of our homeschool}
We have been using and LOVING Integrity Time Bible. We reviewed Integrity Time here, and we enjoyed it also. However, as a Christian family, the Bible version is an absolute perfect fit for us! We have used lessons A, B and C so far. I have personally read through a majority of the lessons already and begun preparing for the remainder. As I said above, I love this so much we have decided to use it all the way through! You will continue to see it on my blog in my Learning with Ladybug feature {since she is my target student for this}.
I keep all of the lesson PDFs on my iPad in iBooks. This is a screenshot of my “Integrity Time” folder…
For each unit, I have printed out the verse, any object lesson printables, as well as the visual aid {usually a character}. Below you can see letters A, B, and C.
Ladybug absolutely loves the Bible characters. Letter A was Jesus {having a Christ like Attitude}, Letter B was David {David’s behavior was the focus}, and Letter C didn’t have a character but a blocks graphic {to represent Christian Cooperation}. The character printables are BW so I lightly colored them in myself before laminating them. I also hooked ours to a popsicle stick.
Each letter has a key verse that emphasizes the word. Below you can see Ladybug proudly displaying her Letter A verse after coloring it.
Along with the word, verse,and character/image, there is also an object lesson to help reinforce the idea and verse. For Letter A we had verses about Jesus’ loving attitude that we used.
For Letter B we had a target, and we used this to talk about how even when we love God {as David did} we still often miss the target with our behavior.
Letter C stemmed off of the Tower of Babel and talked about cooperation along with building a tower together.
We are adding this in as a part of Ladybug’s Character Education. She struggles a bit in this area and I need something focused. I have chosen to do one lesson per week, and have Krash join us. He needs this too and enjoys the lessons.
Before each lesson, I read through the lesson on my iPad and make sure I understand the Bible lesson. You can see a full sample of the Letter A on the Integrity Time Bible site here.
After I have prepared any printables and lesson items, I call the kids over and they sit as I read the lesson to them. I do not read it word for word, as it is written to a class. I adapt the lesson to be for home {easily done}.
There are way more printables included than we use, here are a few, you can click to enlarge them.
Keep in mind this program is written for a group setting, and would be wonderful for a Homeschool Co-Op, Sunday School, or Children’s Church class! There are parent sheets, handouts and more! It is also very easy to adapt for home use.
If you are looking for a character education program, I highly recommend taking a look at Integrity Time Bible.
