Student lessons | Daily practice | Teacher answers | Grade 1 learning path
Five guided lessons with original explanations and examples. Read or demonstrate the concept before completing its daily practice. This is an instructional chapter within a developing program.
Day 1: Love and Obey: Deuteronomy 11:1-7
Learn: Read with an adult. Moses commands Israel to love Yahuah and keep His charge, statutes, judgments, and commandments. The passage recalls events experienced by Israel. Read difficult historical descriptions with context.
Worked example: Verse 1 lists what Israel should keep. The reading also distinguishes those who witnessed events from the children who had not seen everything.
Follow-up: Answer the corresponding practice questions. Explain your reasoning for at least one answer.
Day 2: Land and Rain: Deuteronomy 11:8-12
Learn: Read the description of the land Israel is to enter. Moses contrasts it with Egypt, describing hills, valleys, and rain. Avoid treating this geography as identical to every modern location.
Worked example: Make a simple chart of words that describe the land and the water it receives. Label the cited verses.
Follow-up: Answer the corresponding practice questions. Explain your reasoning for at least one answer.
Day 3: Hear and Remember: Deuteronomy 11:13-17
Learn: Read with an adult. The passage connects listening to the commandments with loving and serving Yahuah, then describes covenant outcomes. Avoid simplifying it into a universal weather guarantee for every family today.
Worked example: Distinguish the command in verse 13 from the covenant consequences described later in the paragraph.
Follow-up: Answer the corresponding practice questions. Explain your reasoning for at least one answer.
Day 4: Teach and Remember: Deuteronomy 11:18-21
Learn: Read the instruction to lay up the words and teach them to children. The passage names everyday situations for speaking of the words. Compare the text with a modern family example without presenting the example as a commandment.
Worked example: Look for the moments described: sitting at home, walking by the way, lying down, and rising up. Keep the list grounded in the verse.
Follow-up: Answer the corresponding practice questions. Explain your reasoning for at least one answer.
Day 5: Independent Scripture Check: Deuteronomy 11
Learn: Reread selected verses from Deuteronomy 11:1, 11-13, and 18-21. Provide references and answer accurately. An adult may assist with finding Scripture but not the responses.
Worked example: This is a selected reading check, not full commentary on every verse of the chapter.
Follow-up: Answer the corresponding practice questions. Explain your reasoning for at least one answer.
Development status: This chapter does not complete a full-year curriculum. Dedicated fillable workbooks, fuller textbooks, and objective-by-objective Alabama standards mapping are still outstanding. Scripture Study is taught separately from the state academic standards.
