The Grade 3-5 curriculum is an invitation to live the truth. Fundamental truths of Theology of the Body are not only expressed in greater detail, but are encouraged to take seed in the heart and begin a life of holiness through action. Drawing from engaging literature to foster discovery, children will deepen their relationship with the living God, to embrace and exercise their unique gift as a child of God and temple of the Holy Spirit. Throughout the materials you’ll explore Theology of the Body themes, such as learning that our worldview will influence the way that we treat others, and that the body reveals that we are made for a relationship with God, the world, and others.
The spiral-bound Teacher’s Guide includes nine scripted lessons, with class discussions, and guided learning questions, plus the Student Activity Book is the teacher’s reference to the hands-on activities offered. A scripture study invites the students to an understanding of God’s plan and purpose. Students create a salvation history timeline fostering an appreciation of the past, present and future, while discovering their place within history.
The third grade curriculum uses this classic storybook to draw out deeper universal truths from the characters and story, engaging young minds in discovering how to apply Theology of the Body principles to their own life. Your classroom Bible will be necessary for the three “Original Solitude” scripture study lessons included in the Teacher’s Guide.
Theology of the Body and Family Life themes are age-appropriate for young learners encouraging a beautiful, biblical perspective with which to view themselves, their peers, family, and the world around them. Each of the 9 stand-alone lessons may be covered within a 45-minute classroom period. However, the final 3 lessons, the Original Experiences, are recommended to be taught in close succession as the children build their own salvation history timeline.

Grades 3 through 5 together offer an introduction to the three “original experiences” Original Solitude, Original Unity, Original Nakedness (a pure gaze viewing one another in full dignity as body-soul composites) that Adam and Eve and all of us encounter as human persons. Children are encouraged to put these truths into their hearts and begin to grow a life of holiness through action. The children discover their current place in history, the importance of the past, and aim for the future, eternal life in heaven, God intends for each of us.
Most Catholic educators and parents lack clear and simple language they can use to help guide children in their God-given identity. REVEALED aims to provide answers.
Even as a priest, future Pope St. John Paul II used plays, poetry, art and stories to awaken young people to the wonder of their humanity, the purpose of love, and the beauty of their culture. Borrowing insight from the master, each unit of our curriculum is centered around a work of literature.
Capture with your students the joy, wonder, peace, and virtue of discovering the gift of life, and authentic identity and dignity of being male or female in God’s image.
No. Due to our use of carefully chosen storybooks and characters that are intricately woven into understanding some of the TOB themes, plus the publishers graciously allowing this arrangement, we only sell these as a curriculum kit set together—storybook plus Teacher’s Guide. Some schools or parishes take this opportunity with the extra literature book to arrange a “take home bag” with the provided parent letter and story overview to involve the family in learning and reinforcing this foundational Christian anthropology. Homeschooling families who already have this storybook often give the extra one as a gift or donates it to a charity in need.
Theology of the Body (or TOB) is the basis of our religion curriculum and coursework. But we know that most Catholics don’t have a firm understanding of Theology of the Body yet. That’s why we want to guide you through it. TOB is St. John Paul II’s powerful glimpse of the human person – expressed in 129 separate audiences – revealing the beauty of God’s design for us. TOB helps us to understand how we were created, our identity in Christ, and our giftings, so that we may see ourselves and others the way God intended.
