They learn by watching how we treat people, our parents, handle our money, our home. Make sure they understand why you do what you do. Asking 4 children why Mommy did something will get you 4 different answers. When they are little you have time to fix any misunderstandings. Some may be quite unsettling. Love, Grandma J. P.S.

I really encourage Bible memory.<br /> <br />It seems taking in their learning strengths and weaknesses is important when encouraging them to memorize the Word. Some like rote memory, some like writing the verses out, some prefer the verse packets I offer, some need drawing helps, some (after great effort)can only get the primary message of the verses. It doesn't have to be the same for everyone. <br /><br />I have found it really important not to focus on a reward for having memorized, but lots of verbal praise and encouragement. I want them to memorize because they want to memorize, not because their mentor/Bible teacher required it. It makes a huge difference in their walk with God ten years down the road.Sharonhttp://www.alltheendsoftheworld.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-48058605208527527422011-10-19T14:28:17.247-05:002011-10-19T14:28:17.247-05:00When I was in college I took a New Testament class...When I was in college I took a New Testament class that was not what I expected. Although we did discuss the New Testament in Sunday School kind of way our tests were strickly fill-in-the-blank phrases from the scriptures. There were hundred over the semester. Our Professor believed that it was less important to memorize every word of long passages. He said it was better to become familiar with important phrases like "no man can serve two masters" or "feed my sheep". Some were longer and did include an entire verse or two but they were all simple. His claim was that these small phrases would come to mind in times of need better than long passages. He was right. Phrases often come to me when I am looking for answers. I can easily look up the phrase and read the whole passage. It feels like having an index in my head!<br /><br />As for my kids, I don't push them to memorize. I do read to them nightly. They LOVE it! I like to read out loud and use my voice to embellish when there is dialogue. I also stop frequently to ask them what is going on and to summarize. They are eager to hear what will happen the next night. It has only taken a few weeks of this to get them hooked. When I say it's scripture time, they come running to find out what will happen next! If the passage is more doctrinal than story, we talk about how it applies to them. We have had wonderful discussions. I find this more productive than just reading or just discussing or just memorizing. I want them to love the scriptures as I do and, hopefully, they will be eager to read on their own instead of feeling overwhelmed but the scriptures.Ro Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987957661555552852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-36620288952835792042011-10-19T13:59:44.339-05:002011-10-19T13:59:44.339-05:00Love it!

It's a great TOOL for memorizing but not an end all...<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />JanetMiss Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10823824102742294403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-39851067379360815862011-10-19T09:29:22.587-05:002011-10-19T09:29:22.587-05:00I'm not sure how well this would work for us -...I'm not sure how well this would work for us - I have one child who hates writing and protest with loud groans and much drama, lol. I'm afraid there would be some negative association there. <br /><br />My 7th grader and I are memorizing the entire book of James. We learn a verse a day and recite to one another. We daily write out the verse (copywork) in a notebook and then work to memorize it. I also printed out the chapters in smaller sections to paste into a small spiral bound index card book that we keep use. He can take it to his room or in the car to work on his verses.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731042597210885419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-74944713235707277712011-10-19T09:18:28.987-05:002011-10-19T09:18:28.987-05:00We too use this as 'copy-work' for school....We too use this as 'copy-work' for school. We do one verse until she can recite it. She has to write it once in print and another in cursive, close her eyes and try to recite it to herself. Then starting with day two - she has to try to recite it to me first and then if she doesn't get it, she repeats her work... but I pick the verse - it is normally something we are struggling with. I try to add in the aspect of the bible has answers for our struggles. We love this method of learning scripture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
