Non-Core Subjects : : Character Formation

The use of Character-Building Cards in Building Good Character, Level B: God Made Me to Be Part of a Family is a positive way to reinforce good behavior and develop the practice of virtue and courtesy in young children. This character course includes 30 full-color illustrated cards covering five topics: Respect, Attitude, Church Manners, Charity at Table, and Virtue. Each character card comes with an illustration and a description of the virtue or good character trait to be practiced that week.

Character-Building Stories : Along the left margin of each Character-Building Card is a suggested read-aloud story

chosen from Devotional Stories for Little Folks and Devotional Stories for Little Folks, Too . These engaging stories introduce your child to the featured topic. Children love hearing these “Greg stories” read aloud! Chore Chart: If your child does not already help with chores, this is an excellent time to begin. Posting the chore chart included in the program, and giving rewards for jobs done well and cheerfully, can be a great motivator.
