~As a home educator adding a Bible curriculum could seem overwhelming, as the core subjects consume most of my students time. I was pleasantly surprised to find 4th Grade – Building Life Castles to be a simple way to explore Biblical truths without much effort.

My student is eager to engage in each lesson, is learning to navigate the books of the Bible, is practicing her reading skills with Biblical vocabulary, using her comprehension skills to recall knowledge learned with quizzes, and is training her mind to memorize weekly scriptures.

I could not be more pleased with this curriculum and how it has complimented our school routine. The lessons give my student, and myself, a much needed break from the core subject pattern.

Bring the Bible to life with a fresh, new approach using Positive Action Bible Curriculum. Engage all types of learners by giving them a Biblical foundation that will last a lifetime.

I highly recommend 4th Grade – Building Life Castles when looking for a Bible curriculum to incorporate into your school routine.
