Free Printable Book of Mormon Reading Chart (90-Day & 1-Year)
A free printable Book of Mormon reading chart is a simple sheet that tracks your progress through all 239 chapters, so you always know exactly where you are and what's next. Whether you're on a 90-day push, a comfortable one-year plan, or reading with kids a chapter at a time, a printed chart on the fridge or inside your scripture cover keeps the goal visible on the days when motivation dips. The easiest way to make one that matches your plan is the free reading log generator, which lets you build a daily, monthly, or by-the-book chart and print as many copies as your family needs.
Short on time? Open the free tool, tap the Monthly preset, set your goal in the Reading goal field (something like "Finish by December 31"), and print. No sign-up, no cost, no watermark.
What Is a Book of Mormon Reading Chart?
It's a progress tracker sized to one specific goal: reading the Book of Mormon cover to cover. Each row or square represents a day of reading or a chunk of chapters, and marking it off shows you moving steadily through 1 Nephi, on through Alma, and all the way to Moroni 10.
The chart solves the two problems that stall most read-throughs. First, losing your place: after a busy week it's easy to forget whether you stopped at Mosiah 12 or 14, and the chart answers that instantly. Second, losing momentum in the long middle: Alma alone is 63 chapters, and a visible trail of checked-off days is what carries most readers through it.
A useful chart needs just three things:
- A row per day or per reading chunk — where you note the chapters covered.
- A place marker — the last chapter finished, so tomorrow starts without flipping around.
- A goal line — your target finish date, written where you'll see it.
The Book of Mormon by the Numbers
Planning is easier when you can see the whole shape of the book. Here's the full chapter breakdown, which is also handy if you want to build your chart one book at a time.
| Book | Chapters | Book | Chapters | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Nephi | 22 | Helaman | 16 | |
| 2 Nephi | 33 | 3 Nephi | 30 | |
| Jacob | 7 | 4 Nephi | 1 | |
| Enos | 1 | Mormon | 9 | |
| Jarom | 1 | Ether | 15 | |
| Omni | 1 | Moroni | 10 | |
| Words of Mormon | 1 | |||
| Mosiah | 29 | Total | 239 | |
| Alma | 63 |
That's 239 chapters across 15 books, about 531 pages in the standard English edition. Two things jump out for planners: the run of tiny books after Jacob gives you a satisfying burst of finished books early on, and Alma is the marathon leg, nearly a quarter of the whole volume, so it helps to schedule it knowingly rather than hit it by surprise.
Choosing Your Reading Plan
There's no single right pace. The right plan is the one that fits the season of life you're actually in.
| Plan | Daily amount | Good fit for |
|---|---|---|
| 90 days | About 2–3 chapters (roughly 6 pages) | A focused personal challenge |
| 6 months | About 1–2 chapters a day | Steady pace with breathing room |
| 1 year | About 5 chapters a week (1.5 pages a day) | Families, busy seasons, first-timers |
| By book | One book at a time, no calendar | Readers who dislike date pressure |
The 90-day read is popular because it's short enough to stay urgent, and at two to three chapters a day it's demanding but doable. The one-year pace is gentler and forgiving: miss a day and a page and a half is easy to make up. If deadlines stress you more than they help, the by-book plan drops dates entirely, and you simply check off each of the 15 books as you finish it.
Whichever you choose, write the finish date in the Reading goal field when you build your chart, so it prints right on the sheet.
How to Set Up Your Chart in the Free Tool
The generator builds row-based logs, and a few settings turn one into a clean Book of Mormon chart.
- Pick your layout. Tap the Monthly preset for a numbered 1–31 sheet with a month picker, ideal for the 90-day and one-year plans, or the Date format for a running list of reading days.
- Name the sheet. In the Reader name field, type something like "Book of Mormon — 90 Days." In the Reading goal field, add your finish date.
- Choose your columns. Keep Date and Notes, and use the amount column for chapters read. Jot the range in each row, like "Alma 5–7." The Notes column is perfect for a favorite verse from the day.
- Add the progress bar. Switch on the goal-tracker bar. For a 90-day plan, set it to 90 and check off a unit per day; for the by-book plan, set it to 15 and fill one per finished book.
- Print your set. A 90-day plan is three monthly sheets; a one-year plan is twelve. Print them all at once, staple them, and you've got a complete chart pack.
Prefer squares to rows? Print the monthly sheet and simply color the row's date number when the day's reading is done. It reads like a color-in chart while still leaving room to note where you stopped.
The By-the-Book Chart: 15 Rows, Zero Dates
If a daily calendar feels like pressure, build the simplest possible chart: one row per book of the Book of Mormon.
Set the format to Books, set the row count to 15, and turn on the Date started and Date finished columns. Then hand-write the 15 book names down the title column, from 1 Nephi to Moroni.
| Book | Started | Finished | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Nephi | Jan 2 | Jan 14 | Ch. 8 — the vision of the tree |
| 2 Nephi | Jan 15 | Feb 3 | Slowed down in the Isaiah chapters |
| Jacob | Feb 4 | Feb 8 | Ch. 5 is long but worth it |
This version has a quiet advantage: the little books stack up fast. Finish 2 Nephi and Jacob, and then Enos, Jarom, Omni, and Words of Mormon fall in a single evening, four rows checked off before bed. That surge of progress lands right before Mosiah and Alma, exactly when you'll want it.
A Sample Week on a 90-Day Chart
Here's what a real week looks like at the 90-day pace, imperfect days included.
| Date | Chapters read | Where I stopped | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mon | 1 Nephi 1–3 | 1 Ne 3 | "I will go and do" |
| Tue | 1 Nephi 4–6 | 1 Ne 6 | Read before work |
| Wed | 1 Nephi 7–8 | 1 Ne 8 | Only 2 today, busy night |
| Thu | 1 Nephi 9–12 | 1 Ne 12 | Caught up with 4 |
| Fri | 1 Nephi 13–15 | 1 Ne 15 | — |
Notice Wednesday and Thursday. A short day followed by a catch-up day is completely normal, and it's exactly why the "Where I stopped" habit matters: the plan bends without breaking. Averages finish books; perfect streaks rarely survive real weeks.
Tips for Actually Finishing
Most read-throughs don't fail in 1 Nephi; they fade quietly somewhere in the middle. A few habits that carry people through:
- Anchor it to something fixed. With breakfast, on the commute (audio counts — log the chapters the same way), or last thing before bed. Same time, every day.
- Keep the chart with the book. Fold it inside your scripture cover or clip it to the nightstand. If the chart lives where you read, it gets marked.
- Never miss twice. One blank row is a rest; two starts a fade. Make the day after a miss the one non-negotiable reading day.
- Read the Notes column back. On a low-motivation day, rereading your own one-line highlights from the past month is a surprisingly strong restart.
- Plan for Alma. It's 63 chapters, so expect to live there a while. Some readers add an extra chapter a day through the small books to bank a cushion before it.
Reading Charts for Families and Kids
A family read-through works best when everyone has their own sheet to mark. A setup that works for lots of households:
- One chart per person. Build the grown-up sheets in the clean adult style and the kids' sheets in the kid-friendly style, which adds bigger rows, stars, and an optional coloring strip.
- Scale the goal by age. A teen might follow the full 90-day or one-year plan, while a younger child colors a square for each night of family reading, even if it's a single chapter read aloud.
- Post them together. A row of charts on the fridge, one per family member, turns the read-through into a shared project instead of a private chore.
- Mark milestones as a family. Finishing 1 Nephi, reaching the halfway point around Alma 29, and starting 3 Nephi are all worth a treat night.
The same setup works for seminary students, Sunday School classes, and ward reading challenges: build one design, print a copy per reader, and everyone tracks the same plan on their own sheet.
Printing Tips for a Chart That Lasts Months
This chart has a longer life than most printables, 90 days at minimum, so print it to endure.
- Use cardstock. A sheet handled daily for three to twelve months needs sturdy paper.
- Print the full plan up front. All three or twelve monthly sheets at once, stapled into a pack, so month two never depends on remembering to print.
- Keep a copy in the scripture cover. A folded spare travels to church and back without getting lost.
- Try a sleeve for family charts. A clear plastic sleeve and a dry-erase marker make the fridge copy wipeable and reusable for the next family member's read-through.
- Print a test page first. Check the margins before printing a year's worth of sheets.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many chapters are in the Book of Mormon?
There are 239 chapters across 15 books, from 1 Nephi to Moroni, about 531 pages in the standard English edition. Alma is the longest book at 63 chapters, and five books (Enos, Jarom, Omni, Words of Mormon, and 4 Nephi) are a single chapter each.
How long does it take to read the Book of Mormon?
At two to three chapters a day, about 90 days. At a page and a half a day, about a year. Most readers land somewhere between, and the honest answer is that the pace you can repeat daily beats the pace that looks impressive on paper.
Is this Book of Mormon reading chart really free to print?
Yes. You build it in the free reading log generator and print it yourself, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on copies, so one design can cover your whole family or class.
How do I set up a 90-day chart in the tool?
Tap the Monthly preset, name the sheet "Book of Mormon — 90 Days," put your finish date in the goal field, and print three monthly sheets. Log the chapter range you read in each day's row and note where you stopped. Setting the goal-tracker bar to 90 gives you a fill-in progress bar across the plan.
What if I fall behind my plan?
Just adjust and keep going; the chart is a helper, not a judge. Add one extra chapter a day until you're caught up, or slide your finish date and keep the daily habit intact. A blank row costs nothing as long as the next row gets filled.
Can kids use this chart too?
Yes. Build their sheet in the kid-friendly style with bigger rows and a coloring strip, and let them color a square for every night of family reading. For little ones, tracking nights of listening works just as well as tracking chapters. Our reading chart guide has more color-in ideas.
