Time in the Word

I have been struggling with this for myself AND my children.  we do a nighty Bible time 4 - 5 nights a week.  However, i would like to start Bowden on a daily quiet time now that he is getting a little more proficient in his reading.  The problem is I do not know how to go about this.  Any ideas? 

Other than that...  Just enjoying life with five little ones.... here are some pics!

    We have a phonics Bible that you could borrow for as long as you'd like. Cate's not quite ready for it. Also have a little book that Coplea really liked called "365 Confessions for Kids" or something like that. I'll put it in my car for next time I see you. He could handle reading those, I'm sure!

    There are Bible study books at Mardel for certain age ranges, but I found they always require writing a response, which one of mine wasn't ready for at the stated age. . .

    How about having him read a passage from the NIrV (the easier version), then tell the story to his sisters (you could listen in to make sure he "got it," and it would get him in the habit of thinking through what he's just read).

    Not a great resource for this since my oldest has been super internally-motivated for such things (like making her own calendar and checking off every day) and one who couldn't manage more than reading along with me.

    Just what you are modeling for him is excellent!
