In the beginning was the Word.
We start our homeschool day with prayer and the Bible. This year we have been reading Proverbs every day. There are 31 Proverbs, one for every day in the month.
Most days, I split up the number of verses equally. Most days, someone has to read an extra verse, GASP! You'd think, some days, that was torture!
I do tell them, in some countries, it is against the law to sit around the table and read the Bible! They gasp again.
After we read, we will each talk about specific verses that may have applied to us.
Today, it was Prov. 16, v: 32..
'He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; He who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.' Perfect for 3 bickering children, isn't it? The Lord works in mysterious ways!
I explained to them why that man who controls himself is mightuer... because the tongue and flesh are harder to control than an army, than anything else! So I had them copy it down on a small piece of paper, and they have to memorize it. Anytime I ask, they have to pull it out to read it to me. It will be memorized and they will recite it at dinner.

Handwriting - some days I have them write the first 4-6 verses of the Psalm for the day. Eg... today is June 16th, they'd have to write from Ps. 16.
Love it!
