MyVerses supports a two-phase learning process. During the first phase you learn the passage well enough to quote it from your short-term memory. This chapter describes the forms and features used within MyVerses during Phase I.

List Form


The Topic and Reference fields for each record to be learned are displayed in the List form. (As mentioned before, MyVerses allows you to hide the Topic field if you prefer not to see it.) A bullet denotes each item on the List form while in the Learn category (Figure 4-1).

View Form


Items displayed on the List form are selected by tapping. Tapping on an item will cause it to be displayed in the View form (Figure 4-2).


The View form has three buttons across the bottom when displaying records in the Learn category (Figure 4-3).


The Done button simply closes the View form and returns to the List form.


The Tools button will take you to the Tools form, which contains Learning Tools designed to help during the Phase I memorization process.


The Commit button should be tapped only when you have completely memorized the verse. Tapping this button causes your record to be moved out of the Learn category and into one of the review categories determined by your personal review schedule.

Tools Form


When you tap the Tools button on the View form, the Tools form will be displayed on the screen. The Scripture passage will initially be hidden (Figure 4-4).


The Tools form has five buttons across the bottom. The Done button simply returns you to the View form. The other four buttons are used to access the Learning Tools.

The -> button reveals one word from the passage at a time (Figure 4-5). It allows you to see how well you can remember or guess the next word in the verse. Another method available to reveal one word at a time is to enter the first letter of the next word. Correctly entering the first letter of the next word will also cause the word to be displayed. Figure 4-5
Figure 4-5 Tapping the -> button reveals one word at a time.
The ... button initially shows the entire passage and then randomly hides one word in the passage with each subsequent tap (Figure 4-6). This allows you to repeatedly quote the verse with an increasing number of words hidden each time. Figure 4-6

The Abc button shows the first letter of every word in the passage plus all the consonants (Figure 4-7). Figure 4-7
Figure 4-7 The Abc button reveals first letter of each word plus the consonants.
The A button displays only the first letter of every word (Figure 4-8). Figure 4-8
Figure 4-8 The A button displays only first letter of each word.
Words that have been partially or fully hidden through use of the ..., Abc or A buttons may be fully revealed by selecting the portion in question. This activates the Word Revealer, which shows the complete text (Figure 4-9). Figure 4-9

Moving On


You are ready to move to Phase II when you are able to quote the passage without looking at it. During your first day learning a new verse, you might spend the entire day working on Phase I. However, if the verse is easy for you, you may want to start Phase II on the first day.
