Use One Reliable Bible Storybook
- Give every young child a single, faithful Bible storybook like 100 Bible Stories from CPH.
- Read it to toddlers until they can read, and use its pictures and review prompts for Sunday school and home devotions.
Teach Bible History Chronologically
- Use Concordia's Bible History for confirmation and as a chronological guide to the Bible narrative.
- Pair it with a simple workbook (e.g., Christian Preuss' worksheets) for factual review and homework.
Prefer Simple Worksheets For Kids
- Swap the Concordia workbook for Steadfast Press's Bible History Worksheets by Christian Preuss for grammar-level questions.
- Use fill-in-the-blank and fact questions to ensure students learn names, places, and facts before advanced application.
