As I was looking up my favorite Bible reading plan for the New Year, I was curious as to whether anyone had put together a plan for younger readers. As I searched, it occurred to me that my 10yo son didn't really need a special plan, but more time. I then came across this site with a 3 year plan. Perfect! He should be able to manage a chapter a day much easier than the typical 3 chapters per day of yearly plans. As for my 6yo, she is just beginning to read thru her own Bible with me.
Anyone else planning to read thru the Bible in 2010??

Melissa,
I was just thinking about this same thing this week. I also thought 3 years seemed about right...I am planning it with my girls. They are 3 years apart, so we will probably start again after the 3 year rotation.
We didn't participate when our congregation read through the Bible this past year & I found myself longing to do the study with my children.
Thanks for posting, I will be checking the site you mentioned.
You always inspire me as a mom.
Blessings,

I was thinking about reading thru the Bible in a year but have tried and tried in the past and petered out. I just don't want that to happen again so was excited to see that I could take 3 years! Why didn't I think of that? Duh! Now the whole family can do it together and all be on the same chapter at the same time and discuss it! Thanks for the link!

yes! I've used John MacArthur's Daily Bible for a few years now. Love the days broken up with OT, psalm, proverb, and NT, plus MacArthur's insights.
Happy New Year!
This is PERFECT! My son, on his own initiative last year decided he'd like to read through the Bible in a year during our daily school Bible time. Life happened and it flopped completely. I think he was pretty discouraged about it internally.
I think the main problem was that I was trying to incorporate this big system by trying to read through chronologically. It was a tad too complicated.
This year I brought out a new Bible reading plan that looked really cool with a similar checklist format, and both boys seemed interested at first, until I sent them to their rooms to do it on their own. Too complicated AGAIN. I have a problem in this area... I make things too hard! Well, after a little discussion, we decided it'd be better to do the reading together and revert back to our original-original plan of just reading straight through in the amount of time allotted in our schoolday. okay. simplify. obviously.
BUT now that you mention it, I can't even conceive of why I have never thought of this! Why not just drag it out a little, read a chapter a day (a totally reasonable amount) and then we can really have a sense of accomplishing something! I'm going to take this and run with it, by golly! Problem with kids' Bible reading solved. Now, I've just got to figure out what I'm going to do about MY reading! ;)
Thank you, thank you!
