Sunrise Edition

Even at a young age, there is so much that children can learn from Jesus and His parables. Bible 3 introduces students to the four Gospels. The first LightUnit (301) is a fictional story about the Passover lamb that acquaints students with Jewish culture and customs during the time of Christ. LightUnits 302-305 are a study of the Gospels that will continue into fourth grade.

Each lesson contains a story from Jesus’ life, followed by student exercises. Unlike Bible 1 and 2, Bible 3 includes quizzes and tests. As a five-LightUnit course, Bible 3 takes only one semester to complete. Having class two or three times a week spreads the course over the entire school year.

This course consists of five LightUnit workbooks and one Teacher’s Guide. View the course scope and sequence.

Sunrise 2nd Edition

Language Arts 3 integrates grammar, spelling, and penmanship into one easy-to-use course. Use Christian Light’s Language Arts Diagnostic Test to place students new to the curriculum. After you introduce each lesson’s new concept, students can work independently on the lesson. New concepts are not tested until they have been reviewed at least three times.

Students identify nouns, verbs, adjectives, and sentence subjects. They diagram sentences and work with language mechanics such as punctuation, pronunciation, capitalization, and subject-verb agreement. Students learn to use contents pages, indexes, dictionaries, and encyclopedias. Each LightUnit includes a creative writing lesson. The three spelling lists in each LightUnit include fifteen words each.

Sunrise Math 3 teaches new skills and concepts in incremental, continuously reviewed steps. Concepts are tested only after being reviewed for five days or more. Use Christian Light’s Math Diagnostic Test to place students new to the curriculum.

Students learn both the U.S. and metric systems of measurement. Addition & Subtraction Flash Cards and Multiplication & Division Flash Cards are required. Division is introduced in LightUnit 306, and students memorize the tables for 0-9. By the end of the course, students will have memorized multiplication tables 0 through 10. Practical story problems relate to a theme (which varies with each LightUnit) such as insects, cooking, and the ocean.

Sunrise Edition

Social Studies 3 is based on the textbook Living Together on God’s Earth. After learning that their communities are only a small part of the broader world, students explore four communities of Bible times, one European community, one American community, and the country of Israel.

There are two study options. Both options require the textbook.

LightUnit Study Method

The LightUnit study is recommended for homeschools and schools where teacher involvement is limited. The three workbooks provide exercises, daily review, quizzes, and tests. There are two LightUnits in each workbook for a total of six units. LightUnit 306 is optional for those preferring a five-LightUnit course. This study method includes three LightUnit workbooks, a textbook, and a Teacher’s Guide. Answer Keys are not required if you purchase the Teacher's Guide. View the course scope and sequence.

Textbook Study Method
The Textbook study uses the questions provided in the textbook and is better suited for classrooms where teachers provide instruction and review. This study method consists of a textbook, Chapter Tests, and a Teacher’s Guide.
