A collection of 24 stories and 18 poems, I Wonder is designed to stimulate an interest in reading while providing spiritual lessons to the child in the second half of first grade. Just as Jesus used interesting stories, the stories in I Wonder are used to teach valuable lessons–both reading skills and spiritual. Stories like “Who’s Afraid of Funder?” “Lesson From a Door Slammer,” and “Mrs. Grape Jelly’s Apples” will captivate the child’s interest as story characters face real-to-life situations.
How to Teach the Course
Successful completion of the Learning to Read program is necessary before attempting this half-year course. Students may do some exercises independently. Self checks and tests measure the child’s mastery of the material.
The first-grade reader, I Wonder, is full of delightful age-level stories and poems that develop critical reading skills while building character. Students will learn about honesty from Betsy and Billy, the importance of prayer from Willy, good habits from Bruce the door slammer, and trust from Bennie, who was afraid of thunder. The artwork has recently been updated to full-color paintings.
The accompanying five new LightUnits helps students practice phonics, reading comprehension, and analytical thinking. A test in each of the LightUnits measures the child’s mastery of the material.
The Teacher’s Guide includes oral reviews, a reproduction of each workbook page with answers, detailed instructions for explaining the exercises, ideas for class discussion, and silent and oral reading activities. Beginning teachers can successfully teach reading when using this manual.
