54% of kids are not!
Even though personal scripture study and prayer have been proven to be the two MAIN determinants of whether or not kids' stay active in church as adults. . . almost half of LDS kids aren't studying on their own.
Why not? Here's the hard truth?
To your kids the scriptures seem boring, the stories are buried in between confusing verses, and your kids feel too busy to make time for something they just don't enjoy.
The Start Here study guides get kids in the scriptures every day!
What your child will learn every DAY
Your child will learn the C.I.A. study method by practicing it every day!
1. Context
Each day your child will READ THE STORY of what’s going on in the scriptures.
2. Read
Your child will be asked to READ a few verses and LOOK FOR something specific (to help keep them focused).
3. Interpret
Your child will then paraphrase what they read to INTERPRET scripture words into modern-day language.
4. Apply
Each day finishes with a short activity that helps your child immediately APPLY what they’ve learned.
What your child will learn every MONTH
Your child will learn to study the scriptures independently with monthly scripture study skills.
