Sample 1st Grade Pages

First Grade Bible Study Devotions include: •  short Bible verses students read and trace with key words to color and

unscramble. •  The “Our Father” – line by line •  Gospel sentences to analyze The reading required scaffolds and is first grade friendly. As students become more proficient readers and thinkers – what is required of them increases. The “Our Father” is broken down and students have the opportunity to analyze the prayer. The final pages ask students to think critically as they break about an important sentence based on a Gospel verse.

that God knows.” Eve ate from the tree. Adam ate from the tree too. God was sad. This was the first sin.
