Scripture Memorization Teacher Training Resources
"I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you." (Ps. 119:11)
Starting Point for Bible Teachers Who Want to Integrate Scripture Memory into Classroom Instruction
Begin with a broad look at Scripture memory using the Scripture Memorization Discipleship Guide. In this resource you will explore the benefits of memorizing God's Word, find some helpful tips, and identify various means of memorizing Bible verses. It also reminds us to keep Scripture memorization age appropriate, suggesting ideas for various age levels.
Then work toward building a positive attitude toward Scripture memorization in your class. The six-page teacher training worksheet, Effective Scripture Memorization Requires Getting Beyond, suggests ten areas we may need to go beyond to make Scripture memory a more effective method. These points look at both our own view toward it and the way it's implemented in the classroom.
