Lectio: Scripture Memory

From reading to remembering.

Lectio is a scripture memory app built on scripture flashcards. Do not try to swallow a chapter: memorize scripture one verse at a time, the way verse memory actually sticks.

■ One verse at a time

Whole chapters intimidate. Single verses invite. Lectio breaks bible memorization into cards you can hold in your head, a practice that starts small and compounds. Each lesson introduces two verses, and after three lessons a unit checkpoint reviews all six verses in that unit. Lessons open in order as you finish the one before.

■ Foundations: 10 units, 60 verses

The Foundations course starts with who you are in Christ and moves through Prayer and Strength in Trials to Jesus Christ and Sent Out. Each unit holds six verses, 60 in total.

■ Seven exercises that remove support step by step

Practice starts easy and moves toward full recall.

• Read: read the verse first.

• Fill in the blanks: pick the missing words from a word bank.

• Put it in order: arrange the pieces of the verse.

• First letters: write the verse from first-letter cues.

• Where is it written: pick the right reference for a bible verse.

• Which verse is it: match a reference to its text.

• Write from memory: type the whole verse with no cues.

Blanks grow from one to three, and first-letter cues spread from half the words to all of them. The card gradually hides words until the verse lives in memory, not on the screen.

■ Reviews that come back on schedule

Memorized verses are scheduled with a spaced repetition algorithm (FSRS), and a Daily review card at the head of your path shows how many verses are due. A verse you miss returns ten minutes later, and missed exercises repeat at the end of the session. Each unit shows a Memory gauge.

■ A record of every verse

Every bible verse you have memorized is kept in your record, next to your daily streak. You can set a streak reminder for the hour you choose.

■ Lamps

A wrong answer puts out one lamp. You have five, and they refill four hours after they run out.

■ Read the Bible and take a quiz

Lectio also includes all 66 books of the Bible to read chapter by chapter. The text is the public domain World English Bible, with the Reina-Valera 1909 text when you choose Spanish.

A bible quiz of 61 questions covers books, people, events, geography and authors.

■ A small daily practice
