It’s good to read your comments here. We home-educated our children (now in their 20s) right from when they were young up to age 16/17. It’s a big commitment, but the benefits are well worth it, as you’ve listed in recent comments below. Our children did a Bible Study O-Level for which they learned quite a lot of scripture from Luke and Acts.
These were the first verses I started learning, when I joined the Navigators group at university. That was about 40 years ago, before the days of the internet. They came as a pack of printed cards!
Very good comments, OnFire. I too choose to split long chapters into separate verse sets - I find that any chapter longer than 30 verses is inconveniently long for reviewing, so I split it into two verse sets. And I also use ‘test instead of read’ most of the time, because it helps me reinforce the context. I stop using ‘test instead of read’ only when I have just a few verses left to complete in a given chapter. And like JDJD, I’m in awe of you having the self-discipline to re-review a passage 10-20 times in a row!
Yes, Eileen, you don’t need section breaks for that. Just start learning Psalm 1 as a passage, and you can choose when to learn each verse. Nowadays I usually select a full chapter to learn, but I actually learn one verse per day, or every other day. The only use of the section breaks that I can see is later, after you’ve added the whole chapter, if you don’t have time to review it all in one sitting, you can review it a section at a time. Personally, I don’t find the section breaks helpful. I’d be interested to hear any other views.
