Children will take different roads to success in learning. When one way is fast for some, it may be locked or laborious for others. We build multiple teaching approaches into each lesson so that you can easily guide your child to his best learning destination.
BJU Press textbooks demonstrate how all subjects help us understand the world and the work God has given us in it. When your child sees how the subjects he is learning will help him take the place God has for him, a sense of purpose emerges that creates a desire to learn and share.
BJU Press textbooks divide concepts into grade levels to help ensure that the content being learned is age and developmentally appropriate for your child. Each grade provides the background structure of knowledge and information that your child needs in order to move on to the next.
The application questions, experiments, and hands-on learning activities throughout BJU Press textbooks help children connect what they are learning to the real world. Critical-thinking questions help children build understanding by challenging them to evaluate claims and make reasoned judgments.
We have an outstanding team of artists that fill our textbooks with brilliant illustrations. We also use puzzles, games, and other playful activities. These are great, but the real enjoyment comes from accessible challenges and real achievements.
The student text or worktext emphasizes the truth of scripture as it relates to every subject. Concepts are brought to life through activities, demonstrations, and real-world examples. Colorful maps, charts, photos, and illustrations help make learning interesting and fun.
Your BJU Press Teacher’s Editions are packed with extras to fully support you in your homeschooling whether you have a hands-on learner, a reader, or a listener.
Some subjects include an Activity Manual which contains learning activities as well as study guides to review concepts for mastery and test preparation.
BJU Press test questions are designed to accurately measure your child’s progress and to promote critical thinking. Our tests reinforce the material in the student text with a variety of types of questions including multiple choice, true/false, short answer, and essay.
When homeschooling younger children, you will spend more time with them. Your Teacher’s Edition will guide you through questions to ask before, during, and after reading their textbooks. There will usually be a couple of exercises for you to work through with your children before giving them a larger assignment from a worktext or activity manual to do on their own.
As your children grow, you can expect them to read assignments and complete activities on their own. You will still need to provide some teaching and grading for your children.
Of course the most rewarding times will be when you engage in projects and demonstrations outlined in your Teacher's Edition. They will require a little planning and preparation but the rewards of the rich learning and time spent your child are well worth the effort.
