Scripture Memorisation

At the start of lessons every morning, have your children read aloud, with you, the Monthly Scripture Memory Passage. You will find it listed on our newsletter or on the website at achs.edu.au click on the “Forms + Resources” tab. Click on the “Scripture Passages for (this year)”.

Have your children read this month’s Scripture passage either from their Bibles or from a printed sheet. Adjust the size of the passage to fit your child’s age and skill level. This Scripture reading exercise should only take a minute or so.

After a single, aloud reading every day for a month, your child may have memorised the passage. If not, they may need some dedicated time to practice e.g. at night after dinner etc.

When your child can say the Scripture passage to you by heart, record this on your Supervisor’s Progress Card and the Monthly Attendance Sheet. Put a Bible sticker (available from the E-Store) on their Star Chart and don’t forget to give them an encouragement and/or a reward for this important achievement.

You are free to use any version of the Bible for this activity. You may wish to download an electronic version of the Bible, for printing the Scripture passages for your child to learn.
