Welcome to the Practical Homeschooling® 2026 Bible Reading Plan!

This is the easiest plan we have ever found. If you follow it faithfully, you will read through the entire Bible in a year.

Monday’s through Friday’s readings include something from both the Old Testament and the New Testament, except for special days (which have readings appropriate to those days). Saturdays have a reading from Proverbs. And Sundays have a reading from the Psalms.

To get started, just print pages 1 and 2 out on your printer, making sure to select the “landscape” (sideways) print option.

To get the Plan to fit on a single piece of paper, simply print page 1 first,, then flip the paper over, put it in the printer again, and print page 2.

Then simply fold the paper in half, and then in half again. This produces a handy brochure you can tuck right into your Bible.

You have our full permission to print as many copies of this Plan as you wish. We ourselves print one for every family member.

The finished
product

Special features of this Bible Reading Plan:

1. Special readings for Saturdays, Sundays, Easter weekend, Thanksgiving, and Christmas weekend.
2. Sunday readings (Psalms) are in blue, for those with color printers. For those with black-and-white printers, those readings are slightly inset to make them stand out. Saturday readings (Proverbs) are pink and italic.
3. Fits on normal letter-sized paper.

Some tips for success:

1. Try placing your Bible someplace you are every day when you aren’t too sleepy to read, such as near a favorite chair.
2. Keep your Bible Reading Plan tucked inside your Bible. I like to use it to keep my place in the New Testament and use my Bible’s built-in ribbon marker to keep my place in the Old Testament. If your Bible has only one ribbon marker, like mine, you might like to use a prayer card or family photo to keep your place in the Psalms. Or print 4 copies and use them to save your places in the Old Testament, Psalms, Proverbs, and New Testament sections.
3. We all have days when we are too busy to take a breath, so if you miss your reading for one day, make it up the next day. If you can’t do this, continue from where you were and make up anything you missed during the week on Sunday.

God Bless You and we hope you enjoy your Bible Reading Plan!
