Old Testament Summer Reading Schedule

Summer is a great time for students to "get a jump" on the upcoming Seminary year. Each summer I like to challenge students to read the book of scripture for the coming year's Seminary study.

This year students can be challenged to read all of the assigned Old Testament Seminary chapters during their school break. (In case you're curious, there are 251 of them.)

But since no two school systems seem to follow the same school schedule, each Seminary has needed to create their own summer schedule -- and, sometimes, multiple schedules.

So, to make your job easier...

I have created a spreadsheet that will automatically create an Old Testament reading schedule for you and your students based on starting and ending dates that YOU enter.

This will allow you the flexibility of creating as many different reading schedules as you'll need.

If one student moves in during June and another student moves in during July, no problem!  Or, if a student forgets to read and wants to start over, no problem!  You can easily create a reading chart customized for each student.

There are two versions of the Old Testament Reading Schedule Creator:

1. A Summer 2007 version -- available for everyone to download and use.  It will create reading schedules from now through September 15, 2007.  (It is available on the "Ideas and Samples" webpage.)

2. A Year-long [Seminary-Notes] CLUB version -- available for CLUB members to download and use.  This version can create schedules up to 295 days long and is available for downloading by [Seminary-Notes] CLUB members here.  (Non-CLUB members may purchase a copy for just $2.99 here.)

 To create a reading schedule (with either version), all you need to do is:

1. Enter the STARTING DATE

2. Enter the ENDING DATE

3. Print

The Old Testament Reading Schedule Creator schedules all 251 chapters from the Old Testament Seminary lesson reading schedule.

Please note:

• Macros.  When you load the Old Testament Reading Schedule Creator, I recommend that you select "Enable" macros (so that the built-in macros will work). 

• Printing.  Your personalized Old Testament Summer Reading Schedule should print neatly on one page, and the Old Testament Chapter Reading Assignments list should print neatly on a second page.

• Screen Resolution.  I created this spreadsheet on a screen with a 1024 x 768 screen resolution. If your monitor is set to another resolution, you may need to scroll your screen a little to read all of the instructions information. 

I hope you'll find the Old Testament Reading Schedule Creator useful!

Best wishes,

Ken
