RENEW - Read It!

Here are some ways of reading for the sake of memorizing and knowing. Please add your "Read It" ideas, too - but stick to ideas that involve the written word or reading - we will get to other ideas with the other letters of our "RENEW" acrostic soon.

1. Read the passage or verse 10 times right before bed and as soon as you wake up, every night and every morning.
2. Put the passage or verse on index cards. Carry them with you wherever you go. Pull them out and read through them anytime you are waiting in line, at an office, in an elevator, as a passenger in a car (don't read while driving!), etc.
3. Post the passage or verse next to your bathroom mirror. Read through it every time you brush your teeth, wash your face, hands, apply makeup, etc.
4. Post the passage by your kitchen sink. Read through it as you load/unload the dishwasher, as you cook and clean, etc.
   
5. Write the passage or verse on a wipe-off board or chalk board. Read through it. Erase one word. Read through it again, saying the missing word from memory. Erase another word. Keep going until you have erased the whole thing and are saying it all by heart!
6. Create a document containing the passage that pops up automatically when you start your computer and read it every time you start your PC.
