Training Hearts, Teaching Minds: Family Devotions Based on the Shorter Catechism by Starr Meade (year 1 of 4)

This book is scheduled over all four cycles and finishes up in Cycle 4, in Week 23. You can really jump in to this book at any time. Each week is focused on of of the Shorter Catechism questions. There are readings each day of the week that go along with the questions.

This is a great read aloud for Form 2 and up.

I am a big fan of using music for memory work (see the Bible Memory project on this site!), and I recommend using some music to memorize these catechism questions. Try Holly Dutton’s work, Brian Sauve’s albums, or Colin Buchanan’s album Catechism Kids.
