If you want to try this method, the directions are all here at Simply Charlotte Mason. You need dividers labeled daily, even, odd, Sunday through Saturday, and 1 through 31. I didn't want to buy dividers and I didn't care for their printable, so I made my own printable dividers. Want to make some for your family? Here's a step-by-step on how to do it.
Supplies
- 3×5 index card box
- 3×5 index cards
- card stock
- printer
- laminator and pockets (optional)
- my free memory box divider printable
Instructions
Start by printing the dividers on card stock. I used confetti card stock that I had sitting around. You could use any color you want that is light enough to see the lines for cutting and the text on the tabs. I purposely made the lines for cutting very light so they won't be too noticeable on the divider after cutting if any of the line remains.
This is what the first full page of dividers looks like:
Next, cut out your dividers or prepare for laminating. I chose to laminate mine first and cut afterwards.
I used my paper cutter for the straight sides and sharp scissors for the top of the divider (the tab side):
{Side note, I could really used a new paper cutter – heavy duty enough to handle our homeschool use and laminated card stock easily. Got a favorite to recommend? Leave a comment below!}
And here's my completed divider:
Now, use your 3×5 cards for your memory verses. We are going to be reviewing the Seeds Family Worship Vol. 1 verses that we worked on last fall. I used their printable. Their cards are sized too big for my box, so I cut them down and pasted them on 3×5 cards rather than spending the time rewriting or typing and printing my own cards. Here's a sample:

Great idea! I’m going to read the Charlotte Mason link now. Thanks!
A lot of people like the method. Time will tell how well it works for us.
You are so awesome!!! I love the way you pulled this together so quickly!
It was an easy creation. Thanks for pushing me to try the system.
We like it because we are always reviewing which is the one thing I rarely did. I am sure it isn’t foolproof but it was fun. My boys enjoy taking turns leading the reading of the verses too.
We are loving this method so far. Meals have been a blast working on our verses.
This is AWESOME! Thank you for linking up!! I pinned this to our pinterest board.
This is our second year homeschooling and we are just starting to get into memorization.
Thanks for adding it to the board. This system is working well for us right now.
Apparently I’ve come and checked out this post several times and never actually commented. This is a great idea.
It took me awhile to try it. Rebecca from http://www.momsmustardseeds.com convinced me to take the jump.
We haven’t used this method…but our way of Bible memorizing, was not working. Thanks for the link to the printable verses…saves me from writing them all out. =)
Are you using Seeds?
Ah, thank you!!! I didn’t care for their printable either and I’m really trying to simplify and not recreate the wheel every time I don’t like what is already ready and available. So glad Google pulled up your site within the first page of hits so I could find your beautiful printable. Thank you, thank you, for putting the time into this. I love it.
Hello. I don’t know when this post was originally published but I found you today (11/5/2017). The link that you provided for the Seeds Family Worship memory cards is no longer active. I found them with a quick Google search. Here is the address if you would like to use them as well.

Thank you for your post! I’m a brand new homeschool mom (Classical Conversations & Memoria Press) of a 3rd and 5th grader. Overwhelming but exciting!
