Q: What
supplies will I need to buy?
A: All you will need are standard school supplies - most
everything you need you probably already have at home. You will need a
Bible, and I would recommend an easy-to-understand version such as the
International Children's Version or the Good News Bible.
Q: Must I
use / purchase Book 1 and Book 2?
A: Yes! Bright Beginnings was designed
to be used as a set. Having the two books makes it easier to do lesson
planning as well as teaching.
Q: Are
more books required to teach the lessons?
A: No. The lessons contain all the information needed.
However, you can supplement the lesson with a book or other material
if you wish.
Q: Can
I use this program if I am not a Christian?
A: You can. If you prefer not to do the Bible
activities, that is your choice. The morals and values taught are
appropriate for everyone.
Q:
What if I have more than one child? Do I need to order a separate book
for each?
A: No. The only thing you would need to
do is make copies of the 33 worksheets.
Q:
What if my preschooler is already reading?
A: There is still much to learn from Bright
Beginnings! You may want to substitute lessons from a reading
curriculum for the language portion, or you may want to borrow library books
for your child to read that go with the lessons.
Q:
Does Bright Beginnings consist of mostly seatwork?
A: No. There are many hands-on activities included
in the program.
Q: Can
Bright Beginnings be taught to a group of children at a pre-school or
daycare center?
A: Yes. The activities are designed for home use, but
most of them can be easily adjusted to fit a group situation.
Q: How long does it take to complete the
program?
A: The program is self-paced. It contains 36
weeks (4-day weeks) of lesson plans. These can be spread out over
several years if you wish. Here are some examples:
+ 36 four-day weeks (1 year with 16 weeks off)
+ 72 two-day weeks (2 years with 32 weeks off)
+ 144 days spread out over a period of 1 - 2 years
Q: What is the average time spent per subject
each day?
A: There are nine subjects each day, with the average
amount of time spent per subject being 10 - 15 minutes. This means
that each days activities can be easily completed in two and a half hours or
less.
Q: Can I return Bright Beginnings if I am unhappy with
it?
A: Yes. You can return Bright
Beginnings within 30 days of receipt as long as it is in like-new
condition. (see
RETURN POLICY)
