Learning memory verses is a key part of the ABCJLM curriculum. Most of the verses are put to song either through traditional songs or Steve Green’s Cd Hide ‘Em in Your Heart. But song is just one way to help your child hide God’s Word in their heart.
Visual aid is another option especially for children who are unable to read. In the above picture from the Shining Star magazine, you can see how the verse is written using simple pictures to represent key words.
Sign language is a method that our children use at church to learn their verses. Purchase or check out simple books at the library to give you the hand movements for key words. I always use the sign for “book” while saying the scripture reference.
In both of these methods, create a visual aid or sign language movement for key words only – not every word in the verse.
