Scheduling Suggestions: 4x/wk for 30min
BOOKS AND MATERIALS
Start Write Software Win/Mac CD-ROM
Consider the CD-ROM program StartWrite for making penmanship worksheets of the “Bible-Verse-to-Memorize” selections. Type in the copy work, set it in the penmanship style and size your student uses, double space it, and print out daily worksheets in dark grayscale. Monday through Thursday, have the student read the verse aloud a time or two, then have him trace over the grayscale model and then write it directly below the model. On Friday, the student can write the verse from memory or recite it from memory. This regimen covers religion, reading and penmanship practice all at one time very nicely.

Schuster’s Illustrated Bible History of the Old and New Testaments
394 pages; Tan Books and Publishers; 32nd edition (April 1974)
For the older student and the stronger reader, use this text in place of The Golden Children’s Bible. It uses a more formal grammar and literary tone, appropriate for Grade 7+ reading level. The following course plan is written to coincide with the Golden Children’s Bible readings assigned Introduction to Classical Studies. The first, second, third and fourth readings below parallel Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and Day 4 reading assignments in the “ICS” lesson plan. The days marked “review” in this plan can be used to outline the chapters already covered, or to read the story being studied in a standard Catholic Bible, or to review all that has come before in preparation for testing.
