Bible Reading For Older Kids and Adults
One Chapter A Day
There are a total of three plans that include one chapter a day from three main parts of scripture: Old Testament History; Old Testament Writings; and New Testament.A person can read one chapter a day from each of the three plans, which would cover the entire Bible in one year.
As an alternative, they may chose one part of the Bible each year and read through that plan in one year. It would take three years to cover the entire Bible.
Another option is to read through the New Testament each year, and alternate between Old Testament History and Old Testament Writings. That would include reading two chapters each day of reading.
Remember, these free Bible reading plans can be cut or folded into
books marks for your convenience.

New Testament and Psalms Reading Plan
This reading plan gives 365 daily readings from January 1st through December 31st. There is one chapter per day, which is a great start for reading through the Bible for 5th graders and above. To add variety to the student's reading, the four gospels are separated with New Testament epistles between them. The year concludes with the Book of Psalms.

Like the New Testament Reading Plan, this plan has 365 daily readings, each of one chapter. In one year, the student will read through the historical books of the Old Testament.
Old Testament Writings: Poetry and Prophecy

Old Testament Writings
This reading plan also has 365 daily readings of one chapter each. They are from the prophetic and literary books of the Old Testament. The Book of Psalsms, however, is included in the New Testament plan in order to divide the Bible into three separate readings.
How to Use the 3 One-day reading plans
For many years I read three chapters a day with the goal of reading through the all of the Scriptures each year. I did not always achieve my goal. At times, as I was wading through family genealogies, I found it dry and difficult to stay focused for three chapters. It became more interesting to read one chapter from each of the three sections outlined above.
With time, I found that I prefered reading through the entire New Testament every year, and through half the Old Testament once a year. That would take me two years to complete all books.
There is no single 'correct' way to use these or other Bible reading plans. We hope they enrich your families' reading of the Scriptures.
