I like/use both the NIV and the NLT. The NLT is easy to understand but takes away some of the meaning from the passage of scripture since this version is a paraphrase version. The NIV is easy to understand and the meaning is still there.

God Bless,

Ditto on the NIrV.  I think I read it is more along the lines of a 6th grade reading level and to me it is a little better translation than some of the others than are better suited for younger readers.  My humble opinion, of course. 

If you can't make it with cardboard and duct tape, it ain't worth makin'...

I use the NIV Study Bible mostly, but with my children I love the NLT Hands On Bible.  We gave the NLT Hands On Bible as our presentation Bible this year and the children and parents LOVE it!

Thank you to all who have participated. My Seminar is in a couple of weeks and although I don't have that many responses, I can still use the info shared. Please continue to take the poll.

All of our leaders/teachers use the King James Version in the classroom most of the time. We tend to use other versions as a study tool. For youngest kids (ages 3-6) we still use King James, but we do not use the entire verse. The intent of our director is to stay as true to the Word as possible. If we do use a different version it is on a case-by-case basis.

I use the NIV and NLT the most often when I teach 1st graders and special needs kids on Sundays and my 4 yrs through 1st graders on Wednesdays. It depends on which bible has the easiest to understand memory verse for the kids.

When I am preparing for teaching I primarily study my NLT study bible.
