While the method (liturgical catechesis) and format (weekly student lessons) of the Gospel Weeklies differ from traditional religion textbooks, we cover the doctrinal themes that program directors, catechists, and Catholic school teachers have come to expect will be emphasized in different grade levels. While not strictly a spiral approach, the Gospel Weeklies dynamically interweave and repeat key doctrinal concepts every year. See our Liturgical Learning Model here.
We now offer Grade Level Thematic Connections to the Sunday Gospels and Liturgical Year. Catechists, teachers, and parents can use and share these each week to emphasize and expand on key doctrinal themes as desired.
See a sample from Grade 4 with traditional grade level themes of The Ten Commandments and The Beatitudes (Christian Morality) here.
