AO-HELLP (Ambleside Online Helping Hand Emergency Learning Plan)

Bible - follow Penny Gardner's Bible story list at http://www.pennygardner.com/bible.html and read a Bible story for fifteen to twenty minutes each day. Ask one child in your group to narrate at the end of the reading. site?

Memory work: We suggest you simply read a memory verse aloud to the children, asking them to say it back to you. Another way to memorize verses is to write a verse on a blackboard or whiteboard and erase a single word, then try to say the verse aloud together. Then erase another word and again try to repeat the verse together, and so on. This method may also be used to memorize short poems. We suggest no more than one verse a week for younger children, perhaps even one verse every two weeks. Older children might work on an entire passage at a time. For them we suggest Psalms 1; Psalms 23; and 1 Corinthians 13. If you do not have access to a Bible, try this site: http://blueletterbible.org/ Younger children might work on these verses over the course of three to five months:
