Early Reader Bundle

Young children often practice reading with silly books about princesses or cartoon characters. Not only is this irritating, but reading with kids also requires a lot of precious time.

You do it, but feel drained, and somewhere in the back of your mind, you know that the things that really matter — like teaching the Faith and leading your kids to Christ — will remain undone once again today.

Problem Solved!

Catholic parents need an engaging early reader that exercises a child's reading skills WHILE introducing them to the real heroes, the Saints!

You Can Be a Saint: An Early Reader for Catholic Kids is that resource. 

This hardcover early reader features over 70 saints. Organized around the different attributes of sainthood, it will help your developing reader build fluency AND a desire for heaven.

Every page is brought to life with a colorful child-friendly saint portrait. Inside, your child will meet saints from every corner of the world and every period of history — men, women, and children who were just like them. And woven through every story is one powerful truth: You can be a saint too!

Transform Teaching Your Child to Read

With You Can Be a Saint, reading practice becomes something that is quietly forming their mind AND their heart. They learn to read. They meet the saints. And they begin to understand that holiness is not just for special people in history. It is for them.

Without You Can Be a Saint, the hours spent on reading practice are filled with princesses and cartoon characters… and the Faith formation stays on the to-do list. 

If you are a Catholic parent determined to build your child's reading skills WHILE filling their heart with the Faith, then purchasing You Can Be a Saint: An Early Reader for Catholic Kids is the right decision.

Reading: A Path to Sainthood

Just imagine settling onto the couch with your young reader and opening You Can Be a Saint together. They sound out the words and enjoy the colorful pictures.

As they read, they meet Carlo, Joan, Dominic, and Kateri. They learn about prayer, caring for the poor, the Eucharist, and obeying God’s Law.

You watch your child realize, maybe for the first time, that the saints were real, and some were kids! They were like me. Your child finishes a chapter, and you flip back through the pages. You ask which saint they like the best, and the simple conversation that follows focuses both of your hearts on heaven. 

You used to dread reading practice. Now it is one of your favorite parts of the day. With You Can Be a Saint, your child is practicing reading, but you are also planting the conviction in their heart that heaven is not just for other people — it is for them.

An Early Reader Catechism for Catholic Kids as They Learn to Read

This Is Our Faith is a beautiful, hard-bound book that communicates the Catholic Faith at an early-reader reading level. 

Product Description

This Is Our Faith explores the Faith, mirroring the Four Pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the story of Salvation History:

1. God Makes a Family (The Story of Salvation History)
2. This Is Our Faith (The Creed)
3. God’s Good Gifts (The Sacraments)
4. Family Rules (The 10 Commandments)
5. Teach Us to Pray (The Our Father)
6. My Prayers (A Treasure of Prayers for Young Readers)

Along with the text, vivid, child-friendly images help communicate the beauty of our Catholic Faith.

Printed with an IMPRIMATUR

This Is Our Faith was reviewed by the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. It has been found to be free from error in faith and morals as it communicates the Catholic Faith. It is, therefore, approved for teaching young children the Faith.

Learn the Faith While You Learn to Read

Sadly, there aren’t many Catholic books for Early Readers. Too big for board books, and not yet ready for more advanced books…what is there for Catholic Early Readers? Too often, early-reader books focus young minds on subjects that are either trivial or un-Christian (for example, Barbie, Superheroes, or Disney Princesses). 

But, what if we could teach our children to read while sharing the Faith with them? And, what if children could access a rich explanation of the Faith on their own?

This is what we have tried to create. This Is Our Faith meets early readers where they are. It offers early readers a fun read that will plant seeds of Faith in their hearts!

Find Yourself in the Story!

This Is Our Faith strives to communicate the Catholic Faith not only at an early-reading level, but also in a mode that will capture the attention of young Catholics. Each section communicates a central theme of the Catechism, but told as a story where children are invited to join the fun as they learn.

• Curl up on the couch and read along with a family as they hear the story of how God loves and saved His people.
• Join a friendly priest as he takes children around their parish church and teaches the Creed through the Baptismal promises.
• Listen as your guardian angel tells the story of the Sacraments and gives you a glimpse of unseen realities.
• Follow along as Christ takes a child on a hike and, on the way, points out the 10 Family Rules that help us be happy.
• Sit in on Sr. Rachel’s class as the friendly Dominican Nun teaches us to pray to Our Father.

Become part of the story of Our Faith!
