Download free, printable Bible reading plans built around the King James Version. From a complete year-long journey through the whole Bible to focused 30-day, Advent, and Holy Week plans — pick the one that fits your season, print it, and start reading today.
A plan gives shape and momentum to your time in scripture. Without one, it's easy to drift to the same favorite chapters and miss the sweep of God's story. A printable plan lets you see your progress, share the same readings with a friend or small group, and rebuild the habit on the days you fall behind. Every plan on this page is in PDF format — just download, print, and tape it inside the front cover of your Bible.
Every reading plan on this page is built around the King James Version. If you don't yet have a Bible to read from, download the free complete KJV Bible PDF — all 66 books in one searchable file — and read alongside the plan. The combination gives you the entire Word of God plus a clear daily roadmap, all for free.
Read at the same time and place every day — most people find early morning works best. Tick the box as soon as you finish each reading. If you miss a day, don't try to catch up; simply pick up where the plan says today, and circle back to the missed reading on a quieter day. Pray briefly before reading: 'Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law' (Psalm 119:18). Finally, share the plan with a friend — accountability doubles the chance you'll finish.

Most one-year plans cover 3–4 chapters per day, which takes about 15–20 minutes of reading. You can split it into morning and evening if that fits your schedule better.
Yes — every plan on this page uses standard Bible references (book, chapter, verse), so it works with the KJV, ESV, NIV, or any translation. The reading plans here are paired with our free KJV Bible PDF.
Don't try to make up multiple missed days at once — that usually leads to giving up. Instead, just read today's portion and quietly catch up on missed days when you have a quiet evening. The goal is consistency, not perfection.
Yes — every reading plan PDF on this page is free to download, print, copy, and share with friends, small groups, or your church. No email or sign-up required.
Yes. Many readers print the reading plan PDF and tape or staple it inside the front cover of their printed KJV Bible PDF. That way the plan and the text travel together.
For first-time Bible readers, a chronological New Testament plan (90 days) or a Gospel of John plan (21 days) is the gentlest starting point. The full Bible-in-a-Year plan averages 3–4 chapters per day and takes about 15 minutes daily — challenging but achievable for most readers.
At average reading speed, the complete KJV takes about 75–80 hours total — roughly 12–15 minutes per day to finish in one year, 25–30 minutes per day to finish in six months, or 70+ minutes per day to finish in three months.
Yes — each reading plan PDF on this site is designed as a printable checklist. Print it, hang it on the fridge or inside your Bible cover, and check off each day's reading as you go. Many readers also use the printable Bible-in-a-Year tracker for visual progress.
Don't restart — just resume from today's reading. Reading plans are guides, not rules. If you miss several days, pick one shorter passage to "catch up" mentally, then continue forward. Consistency over weeks matters more than perfect daily streaks.
