Our Process
Four decades of experience have taught us a thing or two about creating curriculum that works. Here’s how we do it.
Research shows that the right books paired with the right questions have the power to instill greater empathy, emotional intelligence, and the ability to imagine other perspectives. In this homeschool curriculum, your child encounter diverse stories and develop greater compassion and character along the way.
Our literature-based Teaching Character homeschool teacher guide is designed to help your student or child grow in wisdom and virtue through powerful stories. Using impactful picture books, classic literature, and carefully chosen read-alouds, this engaging curriculum helps families explore essential character traits like kindness, integrity, courage, and empathy.
This teacher guide provides parents with the tools to nurture positive character development through literature. Each lesson includes author and book resource lists, thought-provoking discussion questions, Bible verse memorization, and simple activities that bring virtues into everyday family life. These lessons are ideal for the elementary years and can be adapted for a wide age range, making them perfect for homeschool families.
Rooted in research showing that literature nurtures compassion, emotional intelligence, and theory of mind, this character-building approach is both meaningful and effective. The guide offers a structured framework to help parents teach character traits in a thoughtful, intentional way, fostering emotional and social growth in children.
Whether you’re just beginning your homeschool journey or adding depth to your current elementary curriculum, Teaching Character helps you guide your child’s heart and mind—one meaningful book at a time.
