Favorite Bible Journaling Pages with Literacy Strategies

Welcome back to the blog! In this post, I'm sharing a few of my favorite Bible journaling pages. As you know, God has given me a unique way to journal. For years, I would read the Bible and would think, "I need more. I want to dig deeper, or I want what I'm reading to stick." 

​During that time, the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and led me to begin creating strategies for Bible journaling using reading comprehension skills. I would sit on the carpet and come up with ways for me to organize and understand the word more clearly. Here are a few:

1. Below is an image insert. I sometimes use images to help me better visualize specific things in scripture. This one was my study of Exodus 28 about the high priest, their garments, and their role in Israel. I simply printed the image and wrote out how each part of the garment was described and their purpose. It better helped me better understand the chapter overall. 

2. This next image is an insert of a graphic organizer I created. I am big on organizing the details from the scripture I'm reading, and this insert works so well. Organizing details is a reading comprehension strategy to help the brain process and understand the information better. 

3. This strategy is one of my personal books. It is an acronym. I love creating and using acronyms. They are made with reading comprehension skills embedded in each of them. As you can see, I also love to decorate my pages with stickers and washi tape. These things are not a must while studying the word. They are just fun to use. 

4. This is one of my digital journaling pages. Here I was studying Psalm 23:1. I did a deep dive research of a "shepherd." This is the vocabulary strategy of understanding figurative language. Here a metaphor is used, which is a comparison. I enjoy vocabulary focused studies. This is something I do often when I am studying the scriptures. Understanding the words in scripture are key to our overall comprehension. 

These are only a few of my journaling pages. I hope you enjoyed the previews of each one. I recommend you try journaling the scriptures. It has transformed my study time and helped build my biblical literacy.
