Many homeschoolers like to combine
lessons. A sort of educational 'killing two birds with one stone'. This list is for them. It has THE easiest books about Jesus. And the included books --which are in Spanish and English -- will allow little ones to reinforce religious lessons with reading lessons.
Notes:
--check to see if your church has these books to borrow
--most of these books are very affordable; but sometimes you need to check the used books area
--for
some reason, reading information is sometimes only available for the
Spanish versions of these books, with no 'official' info on the English
volumes. I'm including links to the English books for your convenience.
COME TO JESUS
by Mary Manz Simon
Dennis Jones (Illustrator)
This little book is about the New Testament story where Jesus blessed the little children.
**This
is one of the books where there is no reading information for the
English version. Since the other books on this list by Ms. Simon have
the same reading information for both Spanish and English versions, I'm
assuming that this book is at the AR 0.5 level, like it's Spanish
sister.
