The Faith and Life Third Edition Teacher’s Manual has a consistent and easy to use layout for daily lesson preparation and classroom instruction. Lesson sections for Aims, Materials, Begin, Develop, Reinforce and Conclude are combined with the inserted student text, highlighted for the area relating to the lesson of the day.

Additional features may include the saint for the day, a chalk talk or suggested activity.

It also contains quizzes, tests and answer keys (which can also be downloaded on the Faith and Life website) for student assessment. Each book is spiral bound so it stays open to the lesson of the day. From lesson planning to student assessment, the Faith and Life Teacher’s Manual is a real asset.

The Faith and Life Third Edition series is a comprehensive catechetical series for Grades 1-8. It combines a solid doctrinal text with a scriptural presentation enhanced by beautiful classical and original artwork. Based on the story of Salvation History, each grade level speaks of the historical story of God’s love to lead the student to encounter Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Using the time-tested ecclesial methodology and spiral development of catechesis, the series has been updated and enhanced over the years into both a student and teacher friendly, comprehensive format. There are separate instructor manuals for school and parish settings but the same student text. For a comprehensive overview of the series, a full scope and sequence, and more sample downloads, please visit the Faith and Life series website.

This Faith and Life student textbook lessons incorporate the four principal components of catechesis: the Creed, the Commandments, the Sacraments and Liturgy, Prayer and Scripture. Besides giving a clear and comprehensive presentation of our faith, the student textbook is rich in artwork, both original and classical.
