hisforhomeschooling Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I am trying to find a greater range of character- building stories and poems than The Children's Book of Virtues has. More variety about more traits. Does anyone know if there is a book or website that has short stories or poems grouped by what godly character traits they give examples of? Thanks!

mama25angels Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 There's another Book of Virtues, that could work. It's much bigger and has more stories than the Children's version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpskowski Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 The Book of Virtues has stories categorized into 10 virtues. I just got the the CHSH Learning the Character Traits from the build your bundle sale. It is based upon reading a book to go along with the trait. For $1.00 you can purchase (unless you are a member) the book list to go along with the 20 traits. At this point I am looking for other available lists on the web. I found a book list on traits (secular) from San Diego Office of Education http://www.apsva.us/cms/lib2/VA01000586/Centricity/Domain/287/character-traits-hfj.pdf And at kidsofintegrity.com there are lessons on many traits all from the bible. But I'm still looking as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arliemaria Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Simply Charlotte Mason's Laying Down the Rails might be a good fit. There are a lot of short stories and poems in the books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 SCM's LDTR For Children has this. There are poems, quotes, Bible verses, short stories, and activities or discussion ideas for each trait. The readings and poems are all from the public domain, but everything is nicely organized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caviar Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 These are big, heavy books, and there are three volumes of them. Character Sketches from the Pages of Scripture Illustrated in the World of Nature. You can usually get them rather cheap on ebay, just wait for the good deal!
