If so are you reading The KJV or another translation and are you using a daily Bible plan ?

I am reading The Holman Christian Standard Bible through,I'm supposed to be reading 4 chapters in the OT. and 4 in the NT everyday but most of the time I do more than this. I'm in Numbers already and in John too,plus I listen to the audio Bible back and to from work.

I'm trying to read the KJV through, starting with the new testament. I'm in Romans right now.

I am reading the Bible through this year as well, I want to catch myself up because I am fairly far behind right now (did not get a chart until a few days ago). I will probably use a combination of the KJV, NKJV, and the ESV. It will depend on which I have closest to hand when I am doing my reading.

I have read the KJV all the way through, I have used NIV for devotional reading for years. Currently, I'm reading through the Epistles using NKJV, and I really like this translation!

I'm reading the Bible thru this year (ESV) and using "Table Talk's" program. I'm also listening to the passages as I read them and using Max Mclean's audio. Fantastic!

I'm listening the bible thru ...word of promise nkjv.
My reading time is just study, cause I can hardly read the bible thru w out stopping to study out things that put me behind on reading thru...

Word of Promise audio is fantastic IMO.

As a family we're on our fifth (or sixth? lost count) year of reading through the whole Bible (KJV). The reading plan we use is one I developed for our family's use. It's pretty intensive - Two readings per day (morning and evening), each reading contains an OT and a NT part, and a Psalm.

We each take turns reading chapters, and we take turns on the verses of Psalms. My 8 yr old participates as well. There is nothing like daily reading in the King James Bible to build up a child's reading and vocabulary skills. Seriously.

Well I tried to find my copy of our schedule to post here in case anyone wanted to try it, but unfortunately it's a word document and somehow crashed and I can't open it up. Thankfully we have a hard printed copy. I'll have to scan it and save it as a pdf. I do NOT want to have to recreate the thing, it took literally WEEKS to figure it out with way more math than I planned on ever using once I left high school.

Basically, the am reading is from the Pentateuch, a Psalm, and a Gospel reading. The pm reading is from the OT, a Psalm, and a NT reading. The Gospels, Psalms, and NT are read through once every 89 days. The Pentateuch is read through twice a year, and the rest of the OT is read through once a year. This leaves 9 days in the year with no designated reading (thus you get nine days every year to miss a reading due to whatever without falling behind and needing to double up or catch up).

The am readings are generally shorter (1 chapter from Moses, 1 chapter from the Gospels, and 1 Psalm), whereas the pm readings are usually one or two chapters from the OT, a Psalm, and 1 or 2 chapters from the NT

I find this in the bold to be very true. As a family we don't really have a reading plan, but we read the Bible together as a family on Mondays. We pick a book we want to read, and 8 of us (5 adults, and 3 children 11 years old and under) would read a chapter each. The youngest child that is reading is 7 years old, but she was reading with us when she was in kindergarten at 5. And she reads extremely well, especially for her age.

Yes indeed! It's really good that the whole family gets together to read God's Word. You are building memories in those young-uns that will last a lifetime, and will always be with them. Hopefully, they will continue the tradition with their own children. Lord knows they're gonna need it!

Yes.
I always read it through in KJV first and will add others after I finish.
