My 10-year-old son just finished reading through the Bible on his own. It took him eight months to complete the entire Bible. He colored in a square for each chapter that he read. We sometimes would talk about what he was reading. He had a deep desire to read God’s Word on his own.
Now my 9-year-old son has started reading the Bible. He’s only been reading for about two months. A week ago when I was pouring myself some coffee, my son shouted, “I love Leviticus! It is my favorite book! Besides Revelation, I mean.”
“Why do you like it so much?” I asked.
“All the chapters about leprosy are so interesting!”
Go figure. My son thinks leprosy is interesting. I walked off with my coffee, totally perplexed.

I don’t know many people that have read through the Bible at ten! I had a similar experience when I found my daughter reading her Bible. I asked her why and she replied, “I love the book of Matthew!” I’m so glad I can homeschool!
Cool! Matthew has Jesus in it, so that’s great that your daughter loves it!
I’d love to know where you got the printable, or is it something you made? My children could really use something like that.
