“My son loves Apologia, and we have been using this curriculum since elementary. I love how the General Science Student Notebook teaches the student to take notes and be more independent. He is a student that does not enjoy writing, but with the daily schedules and step-by-step process, he has not complained even when having to write out his own lab reports.”

The Word in Motion by Apologia is a comprehensive, Bible study curriculum designed to help students understand the overarching story of Scripture. Through engaging lessons, hands-on activities, and video components, it encourages students to connect with God’s Word and apply biblical truths in their daily lives.
The Word in Motion was developed by Apologia in partnership with Walk Thru the Bible, whose popular live events are designed around families learning a series of motions and key words that tell the story of the Bible from beginning to end. Adapted and designed specifically for homeschooling families, The Word in Motion uses these motions as a starting point for an expanded curriculum that engages the heart, head, and hands.
The Word in Motion is ideal for elementary and middle school students, typically ranging from grades K-8. However, the curriculum is flexible and can be adapted for a range of ages, making it a great choice for homeschooling families with multiple children.
The curriculum is divided into two volumes: Old Testament and New Testament. Each volume uses storytelling, visual illustrations, memory work, and interactive exercises to teach biblical narratives in a chronological and engaging way.
Yes and no. Although each volume of The Word in Motion will stand on its own and constitutes a complete course of study, Apologia strongly recommends beginning with the Old Testament. Knowing the key people, places, events, and themes of the Old Testament will build a solid foundation for students to have a clearer understanding of the events recorded in the Gospels as well as the teachings of the New Testament.
Not at all. Like most Apologia products, the Word in Motion curriculum doesn’t require a teacher’s manual and is designed with an open-and-go format! The lesson plans in the textbook, the notebooking journal, and the book extras provide clear daily directions.
The curriculum course set includes a student textbook, free video lessons, and an activity-rich notebooking journal. An audiobook of the textbook is also available for auditory learners.
Most families complete one volume in a school year by using the curriculum 4 days a week. However, the flexible design allows parents to adjust the pace based on their student’s learning style and schedule.
Absolutely! The Word in Motion’s adaptable lessons and activities make it a great choice for multi-age learning. Parents can modify assignments and discussions to suit younger and older students.
Absolutely! Many homeschool co-ops and groups use Apologia’s curriculum for collaborative learning. Author, Rachael Carman, shares how to use The Word in Motion in a co-op setting.
