Surely teenagers are the same as everyone else when it comes to reading the Bible. I come from a family who did not go to any church or read a Bible. So with your explanation I had no chance. At 16 the Lord put me in situations that meant I started thinking about Christianity, actually I was criticising it and God taught me. He brought me close to him and I learned the scripture 'Behold I stand at the door and knock. Anyone who who hears my voice and opens the door. I will come in to him and eat with him and he with Me, said Jesus. When that became real to me I started to attend Christian meetings and praying and reading the Bible to find out more about this God I had just discovered. You can take your children to meetings from their birth but unless they come to faith in God for themselves it means nothing. The best things for people with unsaved children, or siblings, or parents, or friends, etc., is to be a Christian as defined in the Bible (not by the world) and bring your requests constantly before the Lord. Going to 'church' and reading the Bible will not make anyone a christian, old or young. Only repenting and coming to faith in the sacrifice for sin made by the Lord Jesus will do that. By all means take your kids to your meetings, encourage them to read the scriptures to find out about God but ensure that they realise that they each need to be saved ❤ .
At Church, we have 4 readings every Sunday. If they go daily, three readings, the whole Bible in two years.

"Take them to church?" Do you mean "drag them to church"? You can't be serious.
