Books in Learning About Landforms series

This book introduces children 4-8 to the concept of prayer, talking to God. They may ask questions about God, how and why to pray. Here you have an approachable introduction to what Christians believe about prayer and their faith. the book is written with warmth, sincerity and understanding by a widely respected and trusted author, Lois Rock, beautifully illustrated by Maureen Galvani.

Taking a thematic approach to learning that employs seeing, hearing, reading, and writing, these books outline three four-week, cross-curricular units that develop the competencies children need to become fluent, independent readers and writers. While each unit focuses primarily on language—phonic skills, structural analysis, punctuation, capitalization, poetry, and comprehension—they also include math, science, social studies, music, art, and even mini-lessons in French for cross-cultural appreciation. Understanding that student ability levels in younger grades can vary widely, lesson plans are keyed to three types of learners: emerging, typical, and advanced. The series includes three titles that cover fall, spring, and winter, and the books can be used independently or together throughout the school year.
