The STAR cycles include two options for Bible reading plans:
PLAN A: This Bible reading plan will take you through the whole Bible in four years; reading just one chapter per day. This is a doable plan for a family! Start reading in any Cycle, and go through all four cycles.
PLAN B: A chronological Bible reading plan to take you through the whole Bible in one year, two years, four years, or eight years. You can read more about Bible Reading Plan B in this blog post: A Flexible, Chronological Bible Reading Plan.
If you choose to use Plan B and go through the Bible in eight years, these are the books of the Bible you’ll be reading from:
Whole-Family Bible Reading
There are two different Bible reading plans. Click on the links below (Plan A, Plan B-1, etc.) to read more details about the Bible reading plan options.
Bible Supplements
These books are optional, and are scheduled to aid in your family’s study of the Bible. The Journey Through the Bible book is scheduled to line up with Bible Reading Plan A, and the Bible Atlas is scheduled to line up with Bible Reading Plan B, and only during Cycle 3 at this time.
*The following books are not included in the free reading plans yet, but they are included on the Master Sheets.

Form 3+ (7th & 8th grade)
In addition to the family Bible reading time, middle school students can do their own in-depth study, using the following materials. There are only two rotations for this instead of four, since students will only spend two years in middle school, so Cycles 1 and 3 are the same and Cycles 2 and 4 are the same.

Whole-Family Bible Memory
There are three different optional Bible passages to memorize during each cycle. Passage 1 is listed in the Claritas Publishing Memory Work guides. Make sure to look at the Scripture Memory Project on this site for links to songs!
Scripture Memory
In addition to the Scripture memory work that is included in Claritas Publishing’s guides, I have added two additional verses per week for all twenty-eight weeks of each cycle. I am also working on a Scripture Memory-to Music project on this site here.
