INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Love Bible Learning, the educational arm of Love Bible Crafts.

Literacy, Numeracy and Life Skills Curriculum Framework

This is a comprehensive outline of a set of learning aims and objectives that progress

from one level to another, ranging in the ages 2-9 years. These learning aims and

objectives outline what a child should know and master to progress to the next level.

Love Bible Learning celebrates the fact that no child is this same. For that reason it is

important to note that children will master certain concepts at different rates.

Therefore, the framework is tailored to the learner’s ability and readiness to progress

to the next level thus, equipping the learner to reach their full potential.

The ages assigned to each level, are simply a guide. Learners can progress to the next

level when they meet the set objectives, regardless of their age. Similarly, if a learner

is of the age to progress to the next level, but has not mastered the set objectives,

they should remain on their level until they are able to master those objectives.

The Levels are as follows:

Ground Level: 2-3 years

Level 1: 3-5 years

Level 2: 5-7 years

Level 3: 7-9 years

NOTE: Although Love Bible Learning’s Curriculum Framework lists the components of

Literacy, Numeracy and Life Skills separately, all the lessons presented by Love Bible

Crafts combine and entangle the objectives of the three subjects into one lesson. In

this way, a learner’s opportunity to learn and apply knowledge is heightened.

All lessons, activity books, craft templates and resources needed for this curriculum is

available on www.lovebiblecrafts.com
