Description
This teacher guide leads families through a beautifully designed Christian homeschool study for K–3 students that helps parents and educators nurture moral and spiritual growth through the power of story. This character study leverages picture books and lessons 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 teacher guide 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, The Teaching Character Through Literature Teacher Guide is downloadable 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.
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.

A
Beautiful Feet Books is an answer to prayer. I had read a book,“ For the Children’s Sake,” and wanted this style of home education, but I had no idea how to curate a list of high quality books that would fit a common end. There’s simply too many books to choose from! And then craft thought-provoking and heart seeking questions…and this is exactly what BFB has done! I have often been disappointed by secular library books just falling short in every department compared to the truths of the gospel, but BFB has done a seamless job in integrating gospel truth into every book we read, even it’s not an explicitly Christian book. We are able to trace themes, discuss both positive and negative character examples, and then live these things out in practical, thoughtful, creative, and service-style ways. Head, heart and hands. What’s great is that even my husband has become a part of our character homeschool lessons. The discussions are engaging for the whole family and I truly feel this is the best way to character formation and true education. I have already gone ahead to purchase the early American history curriculum and I’m excited for learning history through living books and real stories, all the while keeping our biblical framework at the forefront.

We have completed the first lesson and love it! My kids are 6,4, and 2 and the books and questions are perfect for my 6 and 4 year old but I can imagine them really enjoying it and getting a lot out of it for several years.
