Are you searching for ways to reinforce character-building lessons?

Use these stories daily or weekly; in order or in response to a certain character-building trait that might need reinforcement. What if you’d like to present a lesson about the importance of following directions? Look in the topical index under “directions” to locate “Yellowstone Bread,” a story about just such a lesson.
