A Child's Alphabet Treasury of Scriptures

Cheri Majors, M.S.
Teaching your children the alphabet and Biblical scripture at the same time can encourage early learning of both. Reading scripture together at bedtime can promote lifelong reading habits, and will become an enjoyable bonding time for you and your children.

    Integrating learning for Life and knowing for Eternity into a teachable moment - cool and effective, Cheri. Who would have thought "F," "I," and "Y" were the most important letters in the alphabet? Peace & Prayers. Always, Michael
