Audio-Visual Resource Correlations:
The Revised Faith and Life Series Teacher's Manuals contain references to audio-visual resources that will complement the lesson. Since audio-visual resources change (new ones become available, older ones sometimes are no longer available), we are in the process of developing new resource correlations for each grade with more audio-visual aids for DREs and catechists. These audio-visual resource lists will be posted online and updated throughout the year. To recommend an audio-visual resource for a Faith and Life lesson, please email them to: faithandlife@ignatius.com. Include the Grade level, chapter and lesson number you feel the audio-video resource would be suited for.

Click below for a correlation of the current AV Resources listed in Faith and Life and where you can purchase them:

Audio-Visual Grade 1 - Audio-Visual Grade 2 - Audio-Visual Grade 3

Audio-Visual Grade 4 - Audio-Visual Grade 5 - Audio-Visual Grade 6

Errata Sheets for Individual Texts:
Improving a textbook series is a continual process. While each year does not bring major revisions, we may make minor improvements to individual books in any given year. We will be posting "errata sheets" for each book in the Revised Faith and Life Series that undergoes minor changes so that teachers, catechists and DREs may be aware of these changes and the possibility that students within the classroom may have slightly varying texts, especially if some of the books were purchased in different years.

Please refer to the copyright page of the book for printing information. If your book does not have the reprint year on the copyright page, it was printed before the changes on these errata sheets were made.

Spanish Translations of Unrevised Student Texts:
The Revised Faith and Life Series does not exist in a Spanish Edition. Spanish translations of the unrevised student textbook for grades 1-5 are provided below and only exist in this electronic format. We are sorry we do not have a complete Spanish Edition available. We provide these translations of the unrevised edition of the student textbooks for the use of whoever may find them helpful. Some schools and parishes use them as take home handouts for the parents of students in their catechetical programs.

Spanish Grade 1 - Spanish Grade 2 - Spanish Grade 3 - Spanish Grade 4 - Spanish Grade 5
