This year in Primary, I really want to encourage the children to read the Book of Mormon. I don't want them sleeping through family scripture study as I did as a child, I want them to read and feel the power of the book. So, I looked and looked for a reading chart, tweaked it a little, and this is the result. I also wanted it to be a size that could be used as a bookmark in their scriptures. I decided to hand them out only to Senior Primary because they all read well enough to read the scriptures. However, anyone is welcome to participate. When a child brings me their completed chart, I will have a cool prize for them. I haven't brought up the chart since I handed it out because I don't want any of the children to feel like it is a contest. I want them to do this on their own.
And to use the chart, you start at the top of Moroni and go all the way across the entire row and then to the next row.
Of course, children are children, and Taneal and Camie confessed yesterday that they had lost their chart. I originally made copies onto card stock with only a few extras. I ran out in my Primary closet. So, today I sat down to reprint them and decided to put it on my blog just in case anyone else was interested in using the chart. It should print out to a 4x6. And, if you are in my ward and have misplaced your copy, I should have lots extra on Sunday. Hope you enjoy and happy reading!

This is great! I think I'm going to nab one for Kenna. I know she's just in sunbeams but I think it would help her get involved in family scripture reading and help US stay consistent too.
You're so good. You ought to be a primary president or something. Oh wait, you are :)
