Ok, so here at the Larson's, we have been focusing on memorizing scripture verses. The kids are doing GREAT!! I'm not doing too bad myself... Since mid January, we are up to about 25 verses (the goal is to memorize 150 verses by the end of the year), all the books of the bible, and we're half-way through Psalm 91. It actually seems to get easier the more you memorize...
To make it simpler, we make the longer verses into a sing-song type thing, and to be sure they are etched in their minds, we review each verse daily, and once a week I take each kid aside and quiz them on the verses they know. M&Ms and chocolate chips make good incentives :) We do memorize in King James simply because it is written that way in the program I am using, and because it's wording seems to have a natural rhythm to it... Anyhow, It was Ellie's turn for her quiz and I asked her to say Acts 16:31. She said, "And they said unto him, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, (in) thy house'... and in the car, too, right?"
