Why read the actual scriptures to little children? I like to teach children scripture stories right out of the scriptures, not paraphrased but in the rich language and imagery of the scriptures. I am somewhat, old school and feel that Primary aged children should have their own copy of scriptures, even before they can read. Yes, even Sunbeams! This used to be mentioned in the Primary manuals! I also feel that they can learn to mark passages for easy locating and memorize verses as young as three. Here you will find lists of many stories found in the scriptures. There are more there, to be sure, but here are enough to use each school day. The Highlights of the Old Testament, Highlights of the New Testament, and Highlights of the Book of Mormon (Part 1) lists were compiled by Penny Garner and is available here, compliments of Penny Gardner. Highlights of the Book of Mormon (Part 2) and Highlights of the Doctrine and Covenants were compiled for Moor House. There are enough stories listed here to have a story each day of the school year!"
