Let's Read The Bible Together

This fall, every Nuvo Kid and NuvoYTH student is building one simple habit: open Scripture, read it, and keep going — a few minutes a day, five days a week, September through December.

September → December 6

Five readings a week. Weekends are built in for catching up — this isn't about cramming, it's about creating a rhythm.

Two plans. One goal.

Every student got a Bible and an age-appropriate plan built just for them. Tap a card below to open, save, or print it.

Elementary · 1st–5th grade

Simple enough for kids to actually do, meaningful enough to start a lifelong habit. Kids read through the Gospel of Mark and Philippians at a pace built for them, checking off each day as they go.

The goal: "I can read the Bible for myself."

The goal: build a rhythm, not a perfect streak.

How it works

The same five moves, every weekday, all the way to December.

1

Start the plan

Find the reading for that day's date and open your Bible.

2

Read

Spend a few minutes on the assigned passage. Don't worry about understanding every single thing.

3

Check it off

Mark the reading complete right on the plan.

4

Keep going

Miss a day? That's okay. Catch up when you can, or just pick back up with the next reading.

5

Turn it in

Complete the plan and turn it in at Nuvo in December. There's something waiting at the finish line.

Parents, you're a big part of this.

You don't need to become their Bible teacher, and you don't need an answer to every question. You just need to help create the space.

1

Pick a consistent time.Before school, after dinner, or before bed — consistency makes the habit easier.

2

Read alongside them.Open your Bible while they open theirs, especially with younger kids.

3

Ask one simple question."What stood out to you?" is enough to start a real conversation.

4

Let them ask hard questions."I don't know" is a perfectly good answer — explore it together.

5

Celebrate consistency, not perfection.If they miss a day, help them start again instead of feeling behind.

6

Let them see you reading, too.What they see modeled often matters more than what they're told.

Finish the plan. Celebrate together.

Building a habit of reading Scripture is worth celebrating — students who complete their plan and turn it in at Nuvo in December get to be part of something made just for them.

Questions parents ask

Everything you need to help your family through the fall reading plan.

Find the current date on the plan, read the assigned Scripture, and check it off when finished. Repeat five days a week through December.
No. The plan is intentionally built around five readings per week — weekends are great for catching up if the week got busy.
Keep going. Catch up later or simply move on to the next reading. Progress matters more than perfection — don't let a missed day or two become a reason to quit.
Yes, if you'd like! It's especially encouraged with younger elementary students. Older kids and YTH students can read independently, and parents can still read the same passage and talk about it afterward.
That's actually a great thing — questions are part of learning to read Scripture. Encourage them to ask you, a Nuvo Kids or YTH leader, or another trusted adult. "That's a really good question, let's figure it out together" is a great response.
That's completely fine — there's no timer. Read at a pace that works for them. Parents can read portions aloud or take turns reading verses with younger children.
The challenge is to complete the whole plan, but we don't want kids obsessing over perfection. If they get behind, encourage them to catch up where they can and keep moving forward.
Completed plans are turned in at Nuvo in December. Exact turn-in details will be shared as we get closer.
Start now. Don't wait for next semester because you missed the first few readings — jump in, work through what you can, and begin building the habit today.

You don't need a perfect streak. You just need to open the Bible.

A few minutes. Five days a week. One semester. Let's see what God does with it.
