We received a devotional in the mail from Christian Focus, and the artwork is just lovely! Psalms for my Day contains excerpts from the psalms in the Bible, along with a quick prayer and devotion for each. Interestingly, the text in the book does not come from one translation of the Bible, but from the late Alec Motyer's personal translation from the original Hebrew. Because of that, many of these psalms might seem new or unfamiliar to you or your child. If your child isn't used to thinking of God as "Yahweh" this could be particularly confusing! I think it's helpful to use it as a teaching moment, and perhaps compare the translation in the book to the translation in your own family Bible.

It's not a big secret that I'm not a huge fan of screens. I have trouble learning from them, I've got at least one child who gets addicted FAR too easily, and we just generally try to limit screen time for all the kids. So I probably never would have chosen to use a reading program that was screen-based. But... Reading Unlocked is actually working for us!
