Overview

A Day with Jesus: The Story of Zacchaeus is a book for beginning readers that uses patterned language to retell the historical story of Jesus and Zacchaeus. The inspiration for this book and other patterned books for young readers comes from Lee Jenkins' friendship and inpiration from Bill Martin Jr., author of Brown, Bear, Brown Bear and 300 other books for children. The book requires a child partnership with a parent, other adult or older child. The book is read out loud several times to the beginning reader and gradually this child reads the book back with the same speed, voice inflection and pauses as the adult. Further, because patterns cannot tell the whole story, the adult fills in details from the complete story in the Bible. Look for future titles in the Bible Patterns Series for Young Readers: A Week with Joshua: The Battle of Jericho An Evening with Daniel: The Lion's Den Theater Also look for future title in the Aesop Patterns Series for Young Readers Who's Afraid of a Lion? Lee Jenkins' Early Readers keep Children's intrinsic motivation high during the learning to read process. In How to Create a Perfect School he describes how to maintain high levels of intrinsic motivation for all subjects and grade levels.

The book was good. Teaching my sister how to read was different. She called Zacchaeus 'Zakakus' at first. --Aisling (age 8) My sister teaching me to read is very sponsy...I mean responsible. The book is about Jesus helping Zacchaeus and Zacchaeus letting Jesus help him down the tree. --Ellie (age 4) Watching the girls work together to read this story was very sweet. They laughed when Ellie made mistakes and worked through it well together. Jasmine (the mom)
