New International Reader’s Version, 1998 ed. (NIrV)
Overview
The New International Reader’s Version was developed to help early readers understand the Bible. Begun in 1992, the NIrV is a simplification of the New International Version. The NIrV uses shorter words and sentences so that those with a typical fourth grade reading level can comprehend what they are reading. The chapters have been separated into shorter sections and most have titles that clearly indicate what the section is all about. The NIrV will be a valuable translation to those for whom English is a second language. The NIrV still relies on the best and oldest copies of the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts for its translation, guaranteeing that those who read it are getting the actual Word of God.

I have seven year old twins that are in the second grade. They are learning to love reading God's word with this translation because not only can they read it but understand the word chosen in the text. It is a perfect version for kids to start out with until they can fluently read the "bigger" words. It make the reading easier so they can comprehend what they are reading, not just struggle with reading it. It allows for them to learn at an early age that God speaks to them through his word - directly to them - not just through another person reading it to them or teaching them about it. What a great opportunity to form a foundation that will last a lifetime!
