Synopsis

A wonderful book that guides our family through the Liturgical Year through Literature

Evaluator Comments

The Catholic Mosaic, Living the Liturgical Year with Literature - An Illustrated Book Study for Catholic Children, is just that.  It is geared for children K - 4th grade.  The Catholic Mosaic has been such a blessing to our home.  This was recommended to me by a Mom in my home school group.  

Each book recommended the Catholic Mosaic is solid Catholic teaching, written in a way that parent and child alike will benefit.  Each book has a set vocabulary words, copywork, Parent's Help Page, observation, discussion questions and answers and an enrichment activity.  The material promotes thought provoking discussions and enforces God-centered, treasured time for families.

We have found the books and activities so enriching!  I have bought most of the books contained in the Catholic Mosaic and have been able to get some from my local library.  The stories are all wonderful read-alouds that keep my children's interest and enforce a love of learning in our home.  I have a 10,6,5,3,2 and 1 year old and they all enjoy listening to these books.  We all treasure this time together and my children look forward to the stories, even if they have been read before.  

We read and do the activities in the afternoon after quiet time.   I usually provide a snack and a coloring page for them to work on while I read the story.  As the author recommends, I use this time to help my children fall in love with the Kingdom of God.   The Catholic Mosaic enables me and my children to find wonder and joy in the illustrated books.  

We usually spend 30 minutes per book, questions and answers as well as the recommended activity.  The author suggests that we enshrine our copywork, art projects or essays from the Catholic Mosaic into a liturgical Year Notebook.
