Why do Sunday School children repeat one story for 3-4 weeks?
Educators have long realized that it is necessary to repeat information in order to retain it. When children hear the same story through several different lessons, they remember it better. They are also able to go deeper into the material, and have a greater chance of personally reflecting on the importance of that lesson. When repetition is coupled with active learning, the lesson has a very good chance of sinking deep into a child’s mind and heart – where faith grows.
