 Excellent bible for learning readers!
This bible is the well-accepted NIV version...with a twist. It's called the NIrV ('r' for 'readers') due to taking larger words which are fine for older children and adults...and breaking them into smaller words appropriate to 5-8 year old's reading skills.
The meaning/concept has NOT been compromised.
For example...it took me several hours to figure out how to explain "according" to my 5 year old daughter (1 Cor. 15:3b - "that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures.") Granted, a dictionary would have solved this, but I was stubborn and had to figure it out on my own.
Turns out, the NIrV's wording was exactly what I came up with: 1 Cor. 15:3b - "Christ died for our sins, just as Scripture said he would."
My daughter loves being able to read the bible on her own and not having to struggle with the 'grown up words' which can be changed for easier wording.
This is not the case through-out (some words simply can not be substituted)....but it puts her at a good reading point at 5 years old!
Love it!
 Print too small for early readers
Bought Bibles for grandsons. Nice book package but
print is too small for early readers
Great Bible for Children
This is a great bible for kids. I gave it to my 5, 7, and 9 year old and my 14 year old flipped through it and said she wanted one. It is colorful and easy to read and it has questions that kids ask with the answers. It is a teaching bible and you can flip to almost any page and there will be a small highlighted section with a title like, "Did you know?", or "Live it" or "Words to Treasure" etc. and in these sections, there are facts, explainations, and life lessons for the children. I have found that I like flipping through their bibles becasue there are so many interesting facts and they are quick and easy to read. I have seen my 7 year old wake up excited to read before going to school and there is no greater joy than seeing your child read the bible.
nirv adventure bible
This is a good quality bible for the price. We bought these to give to all of our children in grades 1-4. All of them love their bible and the nirv is an excellent translation for children. Some of the parents have asked me if they could have one of these bibles. They also like how readalbe it is.
We will be buying more in the future as we need them.
