Race for Heaven's Catholic Study Guides for Mary Fabyan Windeatt's Saint Biographies: Grades 3 and 4

RACE for Heaven study guides use Mary Fabyan Windeatt's saint biographies to teach the Catholic faith to all members of your family. Written with a family's various learning levels in mind, the RACE study guides succeed as stand-alone unit studies or as curriculum supplements. Thirty to sixty minutes per day will allow your family to experience the spirituality and holy habits of the saints while spending quality read-aloud time with spiritual living books. Use these study guides to increase critical thinking and reading comprehension skills, and to incorporate history and geography into your religious study. Participate in lively family discussions on important faith topics and improve your family's knowledge of Catholic doctrine and the Bible. For older students, writing projects are suggested based upon secular and Catholic historical events and characters. In addition to the Windeatt saint biography, suggested accompanying books include a Bible and a Catholic catechism. The Windeatt biographies for this grade level (Saint Thomas Aquinas, The Patron Saint of First Communicants, Saint Catherine of Siena, and The Miraculous Medal) are books that some third-grade and many fourth-grade students are able to read independently.
