Each day Mark or I try to speak with each child about their Bible reading. For the younger 
ones this usually takes the form of questions to make certain they are completing the readings and understanding what they read.
My conversation with Savannah (5) about her reading in Matthew 4 confirms that not only is she still a beginning reader, she’s also been paying attention in family worship.
Me: “What did you read about today?”
Savannah: “Jesus came out of the mouth of God and then the devil took Him up to the holy cat.”
Me: “Oh?” “Can you show me where you read that?”
Savannah, reading verse 4, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Then she looks up and says, “Daddy told us that Jesus is “The Word”. ( John 1)
Me: “Ok, but what about the “holy cat”?
Savannah, points to verse 5 which I read as saying,
Then the devil took Him up into the holy city
Savannah reads, “Then the devil took Him up into the holy kitty.”
Love It!! Super cute, thanks for sharing

Too funny!
And kudos to you for checking up on their reading. I can’t begin to imagine the twisted doctrine that could come out of that little misunderstanding!

Oh man, that made me laugh. Too funny. I took up your challenge (so to speak), but we are just aiming to read the Bible through one time this year. I have three girls 11, 9 and 5 years old. We are reading it together at the beginning of our school day. The 5 year old reads the first 4 or 5 verses of each new chapter. It is going very well so far. Thanks for the suggestion.

Having the 5 year old read the first few verses of each chapter is a great idea. It should improve her reading skills and help her to keep paying attention.
