Book Review: "Miracles of Jesus"

About the book:
Miracle of Jesus  is a level two I Can Read! based on the NIV Adventure Bible. In it, young readers read about how great God’s love is for all people. At this read-alone level, newly independent readers follow Jesus as he travels, spreading the Good News of his Father’s love. Along the way, Jesus shows in wondrous ways just how powerful God’s love is when he brings health back to a young girl and a long-suffering woman, and how he gives comfort to thousands of believers with a delicious meal as well as the precious word of God.
Written for the newly independent reader, vocabulary and content is at a more advanced reading level, making this series appropriate for children almost ready for their first chapter books.
This I Can Read! series of Bible stories makes use of the unique features found in the NIV Adventure Bible such as “People in Bible Times” and “Words to Treasure”.
Content aligns with the Common Core Standards for informational reading.
My Review:
This book covers two major healing stories first Jesus raising Jarius's daughter from the dead and second feeding 5000 from 5 loaves and 2 fish!  After reading the book it was fun to discuss a few other miracles such as turning the water to wine, or healing a blind man, or healing the paralytic man, or any of the other ones!  
I love the "I Can Read" series and my 7 year old daughter is becoming a mighty good reader.  She enjoys learning more about Jesus and I enjoy seeing her Faith increase!   
This book is a great book for at home or for your church kids program!  
Thanks Zondervan for sending me a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.   I was not paid for this review and all opinions are 100% mine.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...
