(And Why Is It Important?)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">In curriculum, a scope and sequence is a list\u2014or plan\u2014of the Bible stories and concepts that will be taught (the scope) and the order in which they will be taught (the sequence). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wonderink.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wonder Ink<\/a> has a three-year scope and sequence which includes 150+ unique Bible stories that are grouped into 4\u20136-week series. Each series is grouped and titled in a way that helps kids make connections to God\u2019s Big Story and learn Who God is. The themes and series help kids tie the stories to God\u2019s Big Story of redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wonder Ink <a href=\"https:\/\/wonderink.org\/scope-sequence\/\">scope and sequence<\/a> is mostly chronological, in a way that makes space naturally for holidays to be built in (Christmas and Easter) and includes a balance each year of Old and New Testament. The scope and sequence takes kids on a journey through the Bible each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Help kids make connections to God\u2019s Big Story and learn Who God is.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-opt-id=639616530  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlzai04amy7e.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:80\/f:best\/https:\/\/wonderink.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/GettyImages-81860559.jpg\"  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"father and daughter reading on the couch\" class=\"wp-image-9035\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Getty Images\/DigitalVision\/Andersen Ross Photography Inc<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Rolling Scope and Sequence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Churches can jump in with Wonder Ink at any time without feeling as though you\u2019re missing anything. The scope and sequences includes major stories of Jesus\u2019 birth and resurrection to be repeated each year, and includes all major Bible stories taught in age-appropriate ways. The rolling scope and sequence (as opposed to a linear scope and sequence) means it doesn\u2019t have a specific starting and ending point; it continues in a circular motion taking kids through the Bible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the three years have been released, the curriculum will be refreshed and re-released starting with the content from Year 1, allowing kids to experience and discover each lesson in a new way at a new age level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scope and sequence has been strategically designed so that kids discover a balance of key Bible stories in a way that helps them understand how each story fits into the larger meta-narrative of Scripture (the overarching redemptive story), make connections between the Old and New Testaments, and see how each story points to God&#8217;s character and redemptive plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout every lesson in Wonder Ink&#8217;s scope and sequence, God&#8217;s Big Story of redemption is celebrated, and every piece of Scripture is tied to the whole\u2014nothing stands alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"6836\" class=\"elementor elementor-6836\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-44db1a4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"44db1a4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3fd2177\" data-id=\"3fd2177\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44f2d06 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"44f2d06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-xl\" href=\"https:\/\/app.wonderink.org\/?page=RegisterChurch&#038;_gl=1*1vf7quv*_gcl_au*MTg0ODQ5OTU5Ny4xNjg5Njk5NjI3*_ga*ODkwNTM3NjE0LjE2ODk2OTk2Mjg.*_ga_D2HKCMMJ9V*MTY5Njk2NTE2My41Ni4xLjE2OTY5NjUxODMuMC4wLjA.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Try for Free<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9dfdb8d elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9dfdb8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/app.wonderink.org\/?page=RegisterChurch&#038;_gl=1*1vf7quv*_gcl_au*MTg0ODQ5OTU5Ny4xNjg5Njk5NjI3*_ga*ODkwNTM3NjE0LjE2ODk2OTk2Mjg.*_ga_D2HKCMMJ9V*MTY5Njk2NTE2My41Ni4xLjE2OTY5NjUxODMuMC4wLjA.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-opt-id=1573953086  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlzai04amy7e.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:80\/f:best\/https:\/\/wonderink.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wonder-Ink-logo.png\"   decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"311\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6197\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0955910 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0955910\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: small;\">Wonder Ink\u2019s 3-year, 52-week children\u2019s ministry curriculum offers kids space to fully find their place in God\u2019s Big Story.
