In addition to reading the Bible, students in Form 3 and up may read books to further their knowledge of the Bible. Here are some suggestions:
Track 1
The Saviour of the World Volume III, The Kingdom of Heaven by Charlotte Mason
What a fabulous resource! Charlotte Mason herself wrote seven volumes of poetry about God’s Holy Word! I recommend that students read these poetry and then also find and read the Scripture passage that the poem references.
These books are scheduled at a pace of two or three lessons per week for a total of twenty-eight weeks. This series is read over the course of the six years students will spend in Forms 3 and 4+. Form 3 readings are repeated (Cycle 1 and 3 are the same and Cycle 2 and 4 are the same) because a student will only spend two years in Form 3 (seventh and eighth grades). Then, the Form 4+ readings move on from there, with Cycle 1 beginning with Volume III and Cycle 4 ending with Volume VII. There is no harm in jumping in to whatever volume is scheduled for the year, even if a student did not read the previous volume.
Links are to the free version on a site called Charlotte Mason Poetry.
Track 2
Wisdom for Life by Sonya Shafer
This Bible study is schedule during Cycle 2 and Cycle 4 for Form 3+, because Form 3 is 7th-8th grade, so theoretically, a student will only be in Cycle 3 for two years. This Bible study is scheduled at a pace of one to four lessons per week, depending on the length of the lesson.
