Word Power (Reading, Writing, & Grammar – Grades K-2)

Word Power has the goal of helping your student grow to learn to read and write well—because if our children cannot read and write, how will they read the Bible for themselves or communicate it to others with confidence?

Our goal is to raise up Kingdom warriors who are confident in their ability to read the Word of God, as well as write and communicate with others with accuracy, clarity, and kindness.

"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17).

Phonics and Reading

Our “learning to read” program is based upon the Orton-Gillingham approach to phonics. We use the Bible to teach phonics to grades K-2, combining it with the latest research to provide your younger students with a firm foundation in reading. Our method is multi-sensory (sight, sound, and touch), and phonics concepts are taught in a logical, sequential way. We believe in teaching “phonograms” rather than sight words, so that no guessing is involved. Order and the beauty of language will be emphasized, with lots of opportunity for review and practice each day. Students begin with simple blends and progress to words, finally reading sentences. We transition to reading from Scripture as soon as possible.

We include a separate reading book for 1st and 2nd grade, to introduce children to quality literature that builds good character, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.

Cursive Handwriting

We include handwriting instruction in both cursive and manuscript for grades K-2. We believe that learning to write in cursive assists with learning to read and spell -- and we'll help you teach it!

Hebrew

While not a complete Hebrew-language curriculum, our goal is to introduce children to Hebrew consonant and vowel sounds to prepare them to someday learn to read the Hebrew Bible for themselves.
