More Than Words level 1 is designed for kids in grades 1-3 (early elementary). Each week starts with a story based off of one of my kids (Malakai or Aliyah, ages 6 and 8 at the time) to help relate the lesson to real life. It can be done independently or as a family and includes Charlotte Mason elements that can make it a morning basket in a book:
Hymn studies, picture studies, poetry studies, word studies (synonyms and antonyms and definitions using a dictionary and thesaurus), copywork, memory work, art, colouring pages, character studies, and more!
There are four units in the full year, 36-week program: who is God? Who am I? Walking the Walk and the Great Relationship. This helps take kids on a journey of understanding who God is, basing our identity in Him, not merely listening to the word but doing what it says (what it means to be a Christian, theology and doctrine, and living a life for Jesus) and having a relationship with God (prayer, worship, the fruit of the Spirit, etc).
