Scripture Reading Charts

We help fulfill the Objective of Seminaries and Institutes of Religion as we encourage students to (1) read and study the scriptures daily and (2) read the scriptures for the course of study. The text for the Old Testament seminary course consists of the selected readings outlined in the reading chart below. If students desire, they may choose to read the entire Old Testament, but it is not required. This is the only seminary course for which reading the entire text is not required. (Charts for tracking scripture reading of the entire Old Testament can be found with the Old Testament Scripture Mastery Cards on LDS.org and on store.lds.org [item no. 10555].)
