Scripture Reading

"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ...Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end,..."Ye shall have eternal life"" (2 Nephi 31:20). "...feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do." (2 Nephi 32:3). "..if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do." (2 Nephi 32:5)

"From students’ first seminary class on through to their college experience, ideally, they’re having a scriptural experience and a spiritual education every day of the week. Given the world we’re in, they need it. The Lord is interested in the whole man and the whole woman."

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland (Aug 2020 Church News)

Scripture Reading

There are two parts to the seminary scripture reading requirement:

Students read selected reading passages for each term
Students set and monitor personal daily scripture study goals

Students' personal daily study goals will not be tracked in WISE. Only the selected reading passages are tracked in WISE for credit. Teachers are responsible for recording reading completion in WISE.

Go to this tutorial video at 2:48 to learn how to mark student reading in WISE.
