Janice Burnette's Third Collection of Bible Stories for Children

Retired teacher and reading expert Janice Burnette has proudly introduced her latest book, "3 More Bible Stories for Beginning Readers." This book is the third installment in her acclaimed series that aims to support early literacy among young readers, all while introducing them to key biblical narratives.

In this volume, readers will find retellings of the stories of Zacchaeus, the healing of the lame man, and Jesus' post-resurrection appearance to His disciples. Each narrative is crafted with age-appropriate language, utilizing short sentences and repetition to enhance comprehension and encourage independent reading.

Having spent many years teaching beginning and struggling readers, Burnette understands the importance of accessible literature in building confidence and reading skills. She meticulously designed this series to not only provide enjoyable reading experiences but also to engage children with biblical teachings. This combination of educational and spiritual elements positions her stories as a valuable resource for families, homeschools, and Sunday school classroom settings.

Burnette reflects, "I wanted to create Bible stories that children could read for themselves. As a reading specialist, I recognized the need for books featuring simple, predictable language and structure. My hope is that these stories aid children in enhancing their reading abilities while deepening their understanding of Jesus."

Every story in this collection follows a predictable format, featuring large print and vivid illustrations that captivate the attention of new readers. This design asks for active participation—whether children are reading alone or with a parent, teacher, or caregiver—which promotes a collaborative reading experience.

This book is ideal for parents who wish to nurture their children’s literacy while instilling moral and spiritual foundations, as well as for educational institutions seeking additional resources for their curricula. Burnette expressed her enthusiasm by stating, "I hope these books inspire children to enjoy reading and learning about Jesus and His ministry. If they foster a child's confidence as a reader and broaden their understanding of God's Word, then we have truly succeeded."

In addition to being an author, Janice Burnette is an active community member, teaching preschoolers in her church's Sunday School program. She shares her home in Sylva, North Carolina, with her husband, Roy, who co-owns local radio stations WRGC and WBHN. Outside her literary pursuits, she enjoys a variety of hobbies including playing musical instruments, gardening, and exploring national parks.

Its ISBN numbers are 9798385074990 for the softcover, 9798385075003 for the hardcover, and 9798385074983 for the electronic format, making it accessible for a wide audience of young readers eager to delve into biblical stories.
