You can download Adventures in Odyssey from Focus on the Family’s website for Free!  You can even sign up for a free subscription so all the newest stories will be automatically sent to your account so you can download them when you want more stories.  You can then either upload them to your MP3 player or burn them onto a CD.  The stories are fun and creative, I even enjoy listening to them in the car.

And another idea for an older child that Joel’s parents used in developing the habit of daily Bible reading.  They would have their daily chore list that each child had to do each day and on it would be read a chapter of the Bible.  If they did all their chores each day they would get a quarter at the end of the week, but if they had also read their Bible every day then it would be doubled and they would get 50 cents.
