The first student handbook in The Noah Plan, this book guides the student in the Christian walk through studying the lives of Biblical characters and their walk with God, and also serves as a reader developing vocabulary, composition, reading, and reasoning skills. Beautiful full-color illustrations and an eye-catching layout bring Bible lessons to life. The font used in the book is one specially designed by reading experts to minimize the effects of reading disabilities such as dyslexia by ensuring that every character in the alphabet is distinct. The book is divided into quarters and daily lessons (three per week), with a mediating summary of the Bible passage and daily notebook work. The book was written with the goal of teaching children to be aware of the nearness of God and the reality of His love.
