The Junior students are typically from 8–12 years old with reading skills at varying levels. Make sure to encourage them to read and gently correct mispronunciations. This age level will be active and easily distracted.

Teachers can best maintain focus by asking real-life, engaging questions with honest answers and activities. 

The Growing with Jesus Activity Book is included for classroom or rotational setting and to be used in conjunction with the Teacher's Guide. All lessons follow the same pattern for teaching students.
