Todd Parker - Scripture Mastery
Minds remember pictures. Use pictures to
teach the scripture mastery verses.
Have the kids learn them in their memories
first, they can mark them in their scriptures another day.
Encourage the students to review the SM verses
with their parents.
Let them verbally review the verses with each
other before each scripture chase.
Become an artist. TRACE!! Use overhead projector to trace
pictures on the board with captions underneath that relate to SM
verses.
Know the mastery verses yourself. Set the
example.
Have students study in pairs. Pair up the
weakest with the strongest - especially cute girls with struggling boys.
They will pull them right out of the trenches by "will you do it for
me?"
Use repetition and use as many of the senses as
possible.
Be a participator in prophecy. "I have a vision of
thousands of missionaries going into the mission field with hundreds of
scripture passages memorized . . . " (President Ezra Taft Benson,
Conference Report, October 1988, page 5)
By teaching diligently the SM verses to our
students we can fulfill prophecy and our students will be among those that
President Benson spoke of.
