Sunbeam Resources
From the Adventurer Club Manual
Sunbeam Reading Award
This award is awarded to children who read or listen while some else reads:
1 Two chapters from the book of Mark in a modern translation.
2 A Bible story book or a book about Jesus.
3 A book on health and safety.
4 A book on family, friends or feelings.
5 A book on history or missions.
6 A book on nature.
The Sunbeam reading requirements are directed specifically toward the topics the children will be covering in the Adventure Curriculum.
Teaching Tips
Many good storybooks are available that deal with the topics listed above in a truthful and sympathetic way. Ready any new book carefully to determine whether it is a appropriate for the Sunbeam age group and upholds Christian beliefs and standards.
A single reading motivator can be made by adding a new link to a reading chain each time a book is completed. Photocopy links on colored paper and allow space for the name of the book, the topic and the child's name. Join the links to each other in the manner of a real chain or cut them in a special shape (such as smiley faces, etc. to fit a theme) and post them on a wall to stretch around the room.
Reading lists may be distributed at the beginning of the summer so books may be completed over the summer months.
A parent, teacher, leader, older Adventurer, Pathfinder, or grandparent may read to the Sunbeam if necessary.
