Importance of Immersing Kids in Scripture

To teach kids how to read the Bible, it is recommended to start by immersing them in scripture from a young age. Establishing the habit of reading scripture with children, even as early as two or three years old, sets a foundation for later learning. Around the age of eight, when children have solid reading skills and developing critical thinking abilities, they can begin specific instruction on reading and interpreting scripture. While the age may vary, the focus should be on both teaching children how to read, interpret, and apply scripture, as well as equipping them with apologetic evidence for the reliability of the Bible.
