Description
Teaching Character Through Literature is a beautifully designed Christian homeschool character education curriculum for K-3 students that helps parents and educators nurture moral and spiritual growth through the power of story. This character development study is rooted in carefully chosen picture books and structured around the fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Research shows that the right stories—when paired with meaningful questions—can significantly support the development of compassion, the ability to imagine other perspectives, and emotional intelligence in children. This curriculum applies those insights with intentional read-alouds, thoughtful discussion prompts, and activities designed to bring these values to life in your family through everyday practice and connection.
Created specifically for homeschooling families with kids in elementary school, Teaching Character Through Literature includes a downloadable teacher guide with both digital and printer-friendly formats, making it flexible and easy to use. Each unit pairs timeless children’s literature with Scripture readings, guided conversations, and hands-on activities that make abstract character traits feel real, memorable, and relevant to daily life.
Unlike character education programs built for classroom settings, this curriculum is designed for the rhythm of a homeschooling family. The lessons are faith-integrated, literature-centered, and built around meaningful conversation rather than worksheets. Whether you are new to homeschooling or looking for a values-based study to add to your morning basket, Teaching Character provides everything you need to teach good character at home in a lasting way.
With a gentle rhythm and an emphasis on beauty, reflection, and relationship, this curriculum turns storytime into a rich, faith-based foundation for moral and emotional growth. Whether you're new to homeschooling or looking for a values-based resource, this study offers everything you need to teach character at home in a meaningful and lasting way.
