Catholic Catechism Ideas
Catholic Audio books And E-Copybooks
Teachers and catechists appreciate St. Anne's Helper's excellent Catholic catechism help for First Holy Communion and Confirmation students! Memorizing becomes easy with multisensory teaching using an audiobook format for First Holy Communion and Confirmation! Catechists can send their students home with audio help. Check the sound of these Catholic audiobooks here. Catholic Printable Worksheets are handy to use in class or to send home for catechism reinforcement.
St. Anne's Helper Catechism Copybooks
for the Catholic sacraments
with concise Catholic answers to the Baltimore Catechism questions that concur with the Catholic beliefs taught in any Catechism Course (CCD).
Children
and adult converts will appreciate the ease of ambient learning with an audio CD (or Download)while driving or during light chores. The copybook method of explicit instruction aids handwriting (penmanship practice sheets) as well as memorization!
We have found several books and other media that have made teaching our students their Catholic catechism concise and rewarding.
It becomes so simple to teach Catholic beliefs when we realize that all good catechisms cover the same general outline:
The Apostles' Creed (Twelve Articles)
The Catholic Sacraments (Seven)
The Catholic Ten Commandments (The Protestant one is different!)
The Six Precepts of the Church (Catholic Holy Days of Obligation, etc.)
Prayer, Virtues, Works of Mercy (Seven Spiritual, Seven Corporal)
How do we know God's will for us? Simply obey and practice every step of the Catechism and do what our superior or honorable third parties suggest.
That's it! Certitude!

Good Catholic books with interesting pictures captivate young students and give the rest of us a few ideas, too. We have found several that can stand as memory aids as well as great story boosters that would work well in Catholic religious education class, CCD, and homeschool for children or adults.
It was so helpful to be able to flip through the pictures to
help the children remember who Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Daniel were. The New Testament people like Mary, Jesus, and the apostles became friends the children could remember since we had used the books like a photo album.
Another help was to use a whiteboard for dictation or copywork!
Catholic Catechism Multi-Sensory Aids!
The real nitty-gritty was memorizing the answers to the questions. Once we found the best Catholic answers we still had to convey them to the student.
What catechism help was available for a child who can't sit still? Or the child who can't yet write well?
What about learning the Catholic catechism as an adult for Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation?
What about reviewing the questions for a cumulative review by the pastor?
What would be best for an RCIA program or Catholic CCD class?
Most importantly, where would we find low pressure aids to learning truth well?
Catholic Ebooks
St. Anne's Helper's Audiobook Catechisms for both First Communion and Catholic Confirmation are arranged with each question and its answer on its own track for easy navigation. Need to memorize the Apostles' Creed or the Ten Commandments? Easy. Just go to the specific track and press "repeat one"! Do you want a self correcting quiz? Easy. Just press "pause" between the question and the answer!
The text of both the questions and their answers is included as a text file on the same CD or Download as the audio file! There's no need to buy another booklet. Better! This one is reprintable for as many copies as you need!
Catholic Printable Worksheets
The text of both the First Communion and the Catholic Confirmation Catechisms are also available as Catechism Copybook Ebooks as well! They are downloadable now. You can reprint as many as you would like. The First Communion Catechism Copybook is available in beautiful Manuscript. The Confirmation Catechism Copybook is available in either beautiful Manuscript or beautiful Cursive writing- your choice! They can be spiral bound at an office supply store, printed on 3-holed paper to keep in a binder (our favorite way), or used as printable worksheets. See these free cursive writing worksheets.
What about learning the truth?
A real bug-a-boo arises when one sacrament's questions do not have the same answers to the very same questions! Adding and
expanding the meaning is to be expected from the higher level
catechisms, but changing the meaning is unfair, confusing, and sometimes gives reason for doubting our Catholic beliefs.
One thing that astonished us is that copyright law does not
require new copyright information for minor revisions or omissions. The Imprimatur and Nihil obstat have the same problem (Bl. Pope Pius IX Pascendi #60)! Neither guarantees that what one thinks is an old Catholic catechism has been republished without change. It is not required that revisions are noted.
What does this mean?
Important truths can be altered at will without informing thereader or customer!The Imprimatur and Nihil Obstat are not the safety that wewould like them to be. At best they only state that there is nothing against the faith in the book. At worst, they make thissame statement when it is not true. Please Contact Us about Ads contrary to Catholicism.
Please include ad link.At least in the past the books that have revisions that can be trusted, usually mark the major revisions so that one can find them and compare. Our recommendations for
books and other media
are based on twenty years of teaching the Catholic Catechism for the sacraments of Baptism, First Holy Communion and Confirmation. Along the way the other sacraments are studied, but not as "preparation" for their reception.
Catholic religious education has its joys. Finding good resources comes first! Our favorite resources are
CDs and copybooks
! They have helped our wiggly worms as well as our easy learners who could memorize an answer just by hearing it in the background (ambient learning). Also, the audio CDs can be carried anywhere.
Catechism Copybooks have been an easy way to hand a constructive assignment to a child who needed something to do while teacher was too busy to explain the directions in a workbook. They can be bound or left as copywork sheets. As an added bonus, the copybooks were an easy way to improve handwriting!
Dictation Using A White Board!
An 8' x 4' white board is usually less than $20 if you get melamine coated masonite! Frame yours, if you like with, inexpensive mold-board!
This way the teacher can teach from dictation with some copy help for younger students. With the dictation approach the teacher does not write the word first unless the student has trouble with a new word. The teacher reminds the student of a particular phonics rule or then models how a big word is spelled. This takes longer, but rewards the student with life-long spelling skills.
Lowe's, Home Depot and other lumber stores have melamine coated masonite. Office supply stores have proper whiteboards. Either way it is a God-send to have the extra space for writing!
