Description
PRESCHOOL & EARLY ELEMENTARY Character Curriculum
24 WEEKS OF LESSONS
You can never start training your kids in character too early! The first five years are the most formative years, so it’s the BEST time to start teaching and training them to have Godly character.
This book provides you with 6 months of character lessons, that require very minimal preparation. 24 character qualities are taught, with a week of lessons for each of the traits. Provided in the lessons are a definition for the trait, a memory verse, 3 “I WILL” statements that relate to applying the character quality in their daily life, games, object lessons, or role-play, and a prayer for the child to pray about applying what they have learned. There is also a coloring page for each lesson. Included is a reward chart with a picture for them to color, and space to display the character badges that they earn each week.
In addition to the curriculum is a supplemental COPYWORK book print writing lesson that the children copy. They copy the memory verse one day, the definition for the character trait another day, and one of the 3 “I WILL” statements on the other 3 days. This is a great way for them to practice their handwriting while reviewing what they are learning daily in their character lesson.
These products are available as ebooks, which you can download and print immediately, or in a print/bound form. Please note that the print/bound form is not in color except for the cover. Please see the examples above.

We just started homeschooling our 4 children. This will be a great start for our homeschooling journey. Kathie was a joy to interact with and responded quickly to my questions.
Kathie –
Thank you so much Kim! So glad you are going to use Little Lads & Ladies of Virtue with your kids. They will enjoy it, while also learning some valuable lessons about Godly character. Hope you have a great first year!

Hi Kathie, I really your curriculum and I’m considering purchasing it. Would you clarify for me what the difference between “ebook download” and “only print” version is?
Thanks!
Kathie –
Hi Sohyun! The first two store options are the digital (or ebook) options. First one is just the curriculum, and 2nd is curriculum and copywork. The next two are the print/bound version – the first (LLV only print) is the curriculum, the next one is just the copywork in print bound form. Hope this helps!

I love the idea of this book to teach little ones about character. I really like the first one to start with my 6 year old and also for the 3 year old, but you suggest to start using the second book instead?
Kathie –
HI Caroll,
For a 6 and 3 year old I would suggest the first one – Little Lads & Ladies of Virtue. 🙂

Hi Kathie, I’m a mom of three girls ages 5 and under. I found your blog through pinterest and I am so thankful for all you’ve poured out!
What is the copywork?
Kathie –
The copywork has one of the memory points for the kids to copy everyday – one day it’s the definition, one day the memory verse, and the other days one of the 3 “I Wills”. Its a way to reinforce what they are learning, while practicing their penmanship.

thank you, I am trying to pay through pay pal but its asking me to pay for shipping, trying to purchase the Ebook
Kathie –
I’m so sorry about that! We are having a glitch right now, since we changed to a new server. If you wouldn’t mind, just go ahead an order with the shipping free and I will just refund the fee when the order comes through. Sorry about the inconvenience! ~Kathie

I am excited to order this but have a quick question. I really want to order the hard copy but I am wondering how the coloring pages and reward pages work in the bound book. Do I have to rip them out/try to photo copy them in order to make use of them or how does it work, especially with 2 children? I really prefer to just buy the hard copy but if it makes it less usable I might have to reconsider. Also, will the second book be available in hard copy ever?
Kathie –
Hi Jenn! I sent you an email, but will reply here too. Not sure which you will see first. There is a separate unbound pack for the coloring & reward pages. They come in plastic wrap, rather than bound so you can make copies for all of your kids. The 2nd book, LLW, is normally available in print, but is temporarily out of stock. It should be available again soon.

Wonderful resource! I love how simple and easy to use it is while still being fun and effective.
Kathie –
Hi Courtney! So glad that you are enjoying the curriculum!

We just started using this and LOVE it! Simple, easy to understand but even my husband and I are enjoying learning along with the kids. I’m just as guilty as they are of not being attentive at times. Our kids are 1 1/2, 4 and 6. Thanks so much for the great resource! Our 6 year old is doing the copy work as well.
Kathie –
Hi Bobbie! Thank you so much for letting me know how much are you enjoying the character curriculum, and finding it easy to use. Appreciate your encouraging words! ~Kathie
Crystal –
I have a almost 9 year old and 6 year old. Would you recommend this for their ages.
Kathie –
Hi Crystal! Little Lads & Ladies of Virtue would be perfect for their ages, and then you could follow that one with Lads & Ladies of Wisdom. (Or even repeat Little Lads and Ladies of Virtue a 2nd time to reinforce all the learning.)

Hello I’m wanting to purchase the hard copy but don’t see an option for the copy work. Does it come all together or is it not available right now? I have two kids that will need the copy work part of this… do I just make copy’s of that my self?
This looks so fun and I’m excited to get to do it with my kiddos this year!
Kathie –
Hi Christine! I will send you an email about your questions!
