Bridge the gap between teaching religion and reading!
The Catholic Children’s Bible Strategic Reading Resource is a first of its kind, using forty powerful stories from Sacred Scripture to bridge the gap between teaching religion and reading. In this resource, educators will find innovative, engaging, and proven classroom techniques that connect Featured Stories from The Catholic Children’s Bible with essential reading strategies originally published in the International Reading Association’s bestseller Creating Strategic Readers, by Valerie Ellery. In The Catholic Children’s Bible Strategic Reading Resource, each Featured Story is supported by resource pages outlining three essential skills early readers must develop: Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension.
