Promote a 2018 Preschool Bible-reading Plan

By Landry Holmes

There are a myriad of Bible-reading plans available via special edition Bibles, websites, and apps. Some plans call for reading the entire Bible in 365 days. Others may take the Bible student on a year-long journey that examines major biblical themes.

If preschool parents are even thinking about a 2018 personal Bible-reading plan, they probably are not considering the possibility of including their children. However, recent Lifeway research has shown that Bible reading is the most important thing parents can lead their children to do in order to place them on a healthy spiritual trajectory.

One way we as kids ministry leaders can equip parents to engage their preschoolers in Bible reading is by providing resources such as these:

  • Lifeway Kids Apps on the iTunes Store or Google Play
  • CSB Read to Me Bible
  • The Big Picture Interactive 52-Week Bible Story Devotional
  • It’s All About Jesus Bible Storybook

For Kindergarteners, you may want to kick it up a notch and provide kids with Foundations for Kids: A 260-day Bible Reading Plan for Kids and their parents with Foundations: A 260-Day Bible Reading Plan for Busy Believers. Parents and kids together can go through a guided plan of reading the Bible, examining essential passages from Genesis to Revelation.

Parents often begin plotting their child’s intellectual map before they bring their baby home. They think about how they will teach them pre-reading skills, pre-math skills, music appreciation, and sports. So, suggesting that we encourage parents to develop and stick to a Bible-reading plan for their preschooler is not outlandish at all. Let’s give them tools to get them started in 2018!
