They are available in 3 levels. The first book contains the catechism you start your young kids with (minus the pedobaptism as it's edited by a Reformed Baptist) plus it contains 50 verses including longer passages for Christmas and Easter memorization and also half a dozen hymns. The 2nd book contains the Westminster shorter plus longer Scriptures and hymns, and the 3rd contains the Heidelberg confession and more verses and hymns. We also work on verses that I think especially help character develpment. Thanks for sharing your system We love our Truth and Grace (TAG) memory books! They are available in 3 levels.

She was one of my bridesmaids, and I was one of hers. We recently reunited through the internet, and I found your blog through hers. I knew if she had you in her blogroll, yours had to be a good one. I thought when you mentioned in an earlier post where you live that the two of you probably attend the same church. Yes, Heather and I are friends from our college years.

We were working on Psalm 1 a couple weeks ago with our 5 year old and 6 year old, and our three year old quoted the whole thing to us the other night. Just amazing what they can keep in their memories. We mostly work passages of scripture, too, although some weeks we do individual verses. We don't have a set schedule of what verses or passages to do. It's mostly what my husband decides. Sometimes I think we should have that all figured out for the year, but then reality hits. The reality that laughs in my face and says "Jamie, if you did that, you probably wouldn't keep to it, anyway!!! You'd change your mind three weeks into it." Which is a sad truth. I'm always setting lesson plans and changing them. There is no reason to think this would be any different. I've learned not to write anything in ink!

My older ones learn a verse a week, plus occasional longer passages (like some of the ones you mentioned). I post the weekly verse on the window by the kitchen table. They say it before each meal a few times. For longer passages, we practice saying them during our Bible study time. My 3yo can almost perfectly recite the books of the New Testament. The 5yo has mastered this, so I will be beginning the books of the OT with her next week. My 5yo learns a different verse than the older ones right now. I am having her learn a verse for each letter of the alphabet. I am making her a pretty keepsake book (scrapbooking type thingy) for her to illustrate each verse. She has learned through the letter F. I have her repeat each phrase of the verse after me 5 times. Then she tries to say it 5 times. We add additional phrases as she is ready. It's that simple!
