		Free Downloads for you, your School and Parish! Introducing a new Teacher's Manual with improved features for the 2010/2011 School Year: With layout modifications, added features, better organization and completely synchronized with the student textbook, the revised teacher's manual will improve your teachers' experience using the Faith and Life series. Only the teacher's manual has been significantly changed for the 2010/2011 school year. Both the student textbooks and activity books remain the same except for a few updated photos for some grades. Teachers may continue to use the manuals they have; however, we recommend upgrading to the new teacher's manuals now to take advantage of both the improved features and our special pricing for schools and parishes in effect until August 1, 2010.

Invaluable for every teacher to see what previous grades have covered and what higher grade levels will cover in the Faith and Life series. You have the choice of downloading them in color or B&W: Each grade has its own outline.

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 Audio-Visual Grade 7 - Audio-Visual Grade 8 ___________________________________________________________ Lists of Changes in 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 here a summary of the changes made in each book from year to year in the Revised Faith and Life Series. These documents are listed so that teachers, catechists and DREs may be aware of the changes and the possibility that students within the classroom may have slightly varying texts 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 any of the changes on these lists were made.

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.
