Whether used as a Reading Comprehension course or free-time reading, these stories will inspire as they relate the striking, heroic, and challenging lives of the saints.
It is so important to provide both good reading material and the example of the saints to form our children. Teenagers especially need to see and learn from true heroes! Written with 7th- through 12th-graders in mind, these longer stories focus on issues that have new and more personal relevance to children on their way to adulthood: pro-life and the married state, pursuing further studies and discerning a vocation to the religious life, sacrificial love and perseverance, and God’s call to share the gift of Faith with others.
The 20- to 25-page stories in Volume 3 are full of illustrations and photos to bring the narratives to life:
- Blessed by The Truth: St. Edith Stein
- Apostle of Life: St. Gianna Beretta Molla
- With Grateful Joy: Bl. Francis Seelos
- Always Go Forward, and Never Turn Back: St. Junipero Serra
Each story is followed by four pages of enriching information and activities, including:
- Vocabulary and terms to know
- Comprehension questions
- Discussion questions
- Essay questions
- Quotations for further thought
- Geography and history
- Research and report prompts
- Biography assignment
- Ideas for practicing the faith of the saints
