The Foundation is delighted to announce the release of the first student handbook in The Noah Plan®—Advanced Reading and Reasoning Skills: Walking with Jesus, the Bible and reading program for middle school. The book guides the student in the Christian walk through studying the lives of Biblical characters. It also serves as a reader: developing vocabulary, composition, reading, and reasoning skills. Instruction for the teacher is available on the Advanced Reading and Reasoning Skills: Walking with Jesus Teacher Planner CD. Used in tandem with The Noah Plan Reading Curriculum Guide, the Teacher Planner guides the teacher in integrating reading instruction and Bible study, the Bible as Reader program. |

Unique features of Advanced Reading and Reasoning Skills: Walking with Jesus
- Original art-icons emphasize the tenderness, intimacy, and constant Presence of Jesus in each believer’s life.
- The lesson title and Scripture provide a focus for the lesson and remind the student of the foundational role of Scripture to each class.
- Clear, direct prose works hand-in-hand with Scripture to make God’s truth come alive to the student.
- Vivid, full-color and black and white illustrations captivate the student and help them to visualize the events of the lesson, making them more memorable.
- A clear, kid-friendly font aids children struggling with dyslexia and other reading disabilities.
- Leading ideas in the sidebar guide the student’s thinking.
- A notebook icon indicates assigned student work.
- Each lesson guides the student in exercises and tools based on Principle Approach® methodology, causing the student to engage and reason through the lesson.
- Colored sidebars and footers identify the unit for ease of reference.
- Sample pages of incomplete notebook work provide an example to the student to clarify directions without shortcutting the learning process by giving him the answers.
As Principle Approach students grow and mature, they become scholars, taking ownership and developing an increasing sense of responsibility for their own education.
This transition is reflected in the goals of the reading program: in the lower grades (kindergarten through third grade), the focus is learning to read; in the middle grades, it becomes reading to learn; in seventh and eighth grades it is reading towards independence, and in high school, students learn to interact and evaluate what they read—reading with reason.
The Noah Plan curriculum reflects this development. The Noah Plan Lessons books (one each for kindergarten through third grade) detail and guide the teacher in organizing and preparing intriguing, challenging lessons using the Principle Approach method. Each book contains practical, intricate charts dividing the subject matter into manageable weekly segments. But in the middle grades, the student receives a book written for him and to him—one that enables him to become more self-sufficient in learning. Rather than a textbook or workbook—which deadens and distances the student from the subject—the student book leads him to engage, analyze, and interact with knowledge, and guides the development of his notebook, the permanent record of his scholarship. The teacher receives the Teacher Planner on CD, which gives the same detailed instruction available in The Noah Plan Lessons books in the lower grades.
Jesus Christ is the heart of every subject and of developing Christian character in the child. The Bible is the best reader and the highest form of literature!
