Scripture Reading

Dad and I were both feelings like something had to change when it came to our scripture study.  So, our current method is to have each kid  read or recite a verse.  Everyone has their own Book of Mormon that they bring to scripture study to follow along.  On Monday the kids each made their own book markers so they could find the spot easier.  

#1 Girl is really the only one right now that can read out of the scriptures.  It is interesting how many big words she can read guess, based on the scriptural language.  That must mean she has been getting something out of our old reading.

 The other children listen to part of a sentence that Dad or I read and then recite it back.  #2 Boy likes to get ahead of us.  Tonight before I started reading anything he started, "And it came to pass..."  He was right on the money.  Then I started to help him, "that according to his word."  #2 Boy repeated that and continued making up his own words, "that according to his word they did not hearken.." at which point I cut him off so that we could continue with what the scriptures really said, "he did destroy them."
