Teaching Character Through Literature

This post is all about resources for teaching character in homeschool.

teaching character in homeschool

Protecting your children’s youth, training them up the way they should go, or flexibility of schedule are usually the reasons I hear for choosing home education. A big reason I decided to continue homeschooling was seeing the opportunity to focus on character.

Teaching character looks a lot like working on it myself. Aiming to model it at every turn. Life is different each day, and provides plenty to work on together. There are often learning opportunities for the whole family with this gift of time that homeschooling has offered.

If you have wanted to take your home education experience beyond academics, read on for some tips and resources I have gathered along the way.

This post is all about teaching character in homeschooling.

Teaching Character with Books

YWAM Publishing

I can’t say enough about the biography series from YWAM Publishing. They have a History of Heroes and Christian Heroes: Then and Now series. We have read aloud a whole shelf of their biographies now, mostly in our family studies, and each one has left us inspired and at times, teary eyed. The passion and grit of each life has been touching, and I’m so grateful to be able to discuss these with my children!

YWAM has different types of books all with the same meaning and purpose.

Christian Heroes *suggested for ages 10+ (but we read them starting at 7)

These exciting, challenging, and deeply touching true stories chronicle the lives of ordinary men and women whose trust in God accomplished extraordinary exploits for His kingdom and glory. Written specifically to challenge readers with the powerful lives of missionaries who have profoundly shaped history, these books answer today’s call for positive role models and for opportunities to see how God works through the lives of those who follow him. Real people, incredible, inspiring true stories, great for the whole family. Check out this box set!

Heroes for Young Readers *suggested for ages 5-10 year olds

These hardcover, 32 pages, fully illustrated books  introduce younger children to the lives of Christian heroes! Whether reading for themselves or being read to, children love the captivating rhyming poems and unforgettable color illustrations of the Heroes for Young Readers series.

International Adventures *suggested for ages 14+

Amazing true autobiographies of spiritual victory and personal triumph. On every continent, in every nation, God is at work in and through the lives of believers. From the streets of Amsterdam to remote Pacific islands to the jungles of Ecuador and beyond, each international adventure that emerges is a dramatic episode that could be directed only by the hand of God. Sample one here.

Books That Build Character

If you’re looking for an easy family guide to classic novels, poetry, Bible stories, fables, and more, check out this book. They offer more than 300 titles to check out, and all explore the difference between right and wrong in their own unique way. It’s great to reference when you want to work on a specific character trait.

Teaching Character with Curriculum

Beautiful Feet Books

You probably have heard of Beautiful Feet Books for their living history curriculum. Did you know they also have not one, but two studies that teach about character? One is geared towards K-3, and the other one is for grades 4-6. Each presents books that touch on a character trait, and the teacher guide provides discussion questions to spark conversation. We took our time, and completed this study in 2 years as evening read alouds. I thought it would be nice as bedtime stories, and they could think about it as they fall asleep.

Generous Family Curriculum

Most recently, we pulled the Generous Family Homeschool Curriculum (use code “juicebox” for 15% off) in our homeschool morning basket. At first, I wasn’t sure if spending a whole year on the topic of generosity would be excessive. In the end, I had absolutely nothing to be concerned about. The thoughtfulness of this curriculum offered variety in terms of presentation. We had short biographical stories in audio form along with awesome video suggestions to illustrate real life generosity in action.

This curriculum provided ideas for how we can put our learning into practice. We put together blessing bags as a family. Additionally, my youngest chose to save up some extra money to donate to Hydrating Humanity. I highly encourage you to check out this curriculum, and use the code “juicebox15” for a discount. It was one of my favorite pieces of curriculum we used this past school year!

CM Simple Studies

The Heroes and Hope Guide from CM Simple Studies includes 36 lessons, a coloring book, copywork pages, a suggested book list, and recipes. The spine text is The Children’s Book of Heroes by William J. Bennett, but there are plenty of additional suggested books within the curriculum. It is just as the title describes – a simple study without frills.

The lessons are labeled as Lesson 1, Lesson 2, etc., which makes it easy to schedule in any week. You can do one lesson a week for a full year, 2 or more lessons a week make it a semester study. Lessons take about 15 minutes, and the instructor can read aloud the chapter. It covers a bit of history, narration, art, memorization, and critical thinking.

Teaching Character Resources

September & Co

When I can, I really love to support small businesses. Here is a great one stop shop for some character resources. They have adorable character cards for beginners and older elementary children. Also, they have matching posters for easy visual cues are also available in their shop.

Our morning meeting will consist of utilizing their character cards. I love the look of these, and the wonderful topics we will cover. This year, we will need to be mindful of the time we take, so this is a perfect resource to study character daily in a short period of time.

Habits Tee

I love teaching about habits and character training so much, I designed a t-shirt (or crewneck or hoodie) to encourage you! There are a variety of colors, and are so comfy and soft. Share and tag me on Instagram so I can personally thank you!

Generous Kids Book Club

My youngest has been enjoying being a part of this book club. Each month, a new picture book is delivered along with stickers, a collector’s card, and a QR code to the portal that includes printables and a read aloud of the story. It is designed for younger kids so I would only suggest this club for kids under 10 years old. You can use my code “juicebox” for a 15% off discount.

In honor of Father’s Day, I asked my husband for In honor of Father’s Day, I asked my husband for a list of his favorite reads this year, and here are his picks!

So glad #livingbooklegacy chose this topic because Danny is a busy man, but will find time to read some awesome books each year. I love hearing about them second-hand!

Have you or your husband read any of these? I believe some have been made into films and tv shows too!

Looking for a simple way to keep skills sharp this Looking for a simple way to keep skills sharp this summer without the daily battle? IXL has been an easy go-to for low-pressure, high-impact skills practice, and my kids are genuinely enjoying it.

My 7th grader loves the variety and built-in video help. My 4th grader is all about the fun games. And me? I appreciate having time to get work accomplished while also having peace of mind that my kids are learning independently. 

It’s a great way to sneak in some learning during those long summer days. Have you tried IXL before?

They have provided me a link that will give our community 25% off your first month. Comment “learning” for the discount link. Summer is a great time to give it a try!

GIVEAWAY is now closed. We recently watched an ea GIVEAWAY is now closed.

We recently watched an early screening of How to Train Your Dragon from @dreamworks and it was action packed!

I wish I could compare the storyline to the book series, but we have not read the books yet. However, my youngest borrowed a copy from her cousins ASAP.

BRIEF REVIEW:
All of my kids (ages 10-16) enjoyed the film with the amazing action sequences to the heartwarming relationships between father and son, as well as man and dragon. There were a few jump scares that were entertaining, but nothing gory at all. If you or your kids enjoy action movies, this was very entertaining! We had a lot of chatter on the drive home about the plot, characters, and excitement.

Now for the GIVEAWAY! One winner will receive a merch package with these fun #HowtoTrainYourDragon items.

How to enter:
🐉 Like this post
🐉 Follow @juiceboxhomeschool
🐉 Tag a friend (each tag is an entry)

Bonus optional 🐉 Share to stories and tag me for an extra 3 entries

This giveaway closes on Friday, 6/6/25 at 5pm PST, and is in no way associated with Meta. The randomly selected winner will be contacted by @juiceboxhomeschool only.

I have very realistic plans for summer homeschooling, I promise! We won’t be home everyday, so I hold these plans loosely and many things will be carried over into the school year or next summer. 

Comment “summer” for a link to the video where I explain myself. 😉

One of the best things I did for my daughter recen One of the best things I did for my daughter recently was upgrade her mattress and pillow to @helixsleep. As a growing teen with a very active lifestyle, she commonly had aches, pains, and interrupted sleep.

It finally dawned on me when she talked about how awesome a hotel bed felt that it was time for an upgrade! We chose the Midnight Luxe mattress and a down and feather pillow. 

What a difference it has made in the last month! She is our girl who doesn’t sleep in, but not lately (good thing it is summer).

They gave me a great link with a discount if you need to upgrade your mattress too. Comment “mattress” to check out the discount.

Our annual favorite book picks for 2024-2025 are i Our annual favorite book picks for 2024-2025 are in! Recognize any of your favorites? 

📖 4th Grader: A Place to Hang the Moon
I have to say if she didn’t pick this one, I might have. We read it as a family read aloud in the winter, and she read it again in her free time a couple times again. Such a heartwarming story set in the WWII period with themes of family and compassion throughout.

📖 7th Grader: Daniel Boone: Frontiersman
We have loved many biographies from @ywampublishing so it isn’t a surprise to me that my son gravitates to these as his free reads. We have a new Heroes of History discounted bundle available a few posts back if you’d like a great deal!

📖 10th Grader: Carnegie’s Maid
I have not read this one, but a few friends of mine have enjoyed this too. My daughter said it was one of her favorite historical fiction reads. She doesn’t have as much free time to choose just-for-fun reads, but was glad she found this one that was entertaining and held her interest when she had time to do so.

📖 Mom pick: Lift Your Eyes
I may be biased because I just adore @brighterdaypress, but this devotional for moms was so special to read, and is not my favorite gift to give. Whitney shares transparently, yet with edification to truly lift our eyes no matter the circumstance.

I loved meeting some of you, and chatting about homeschooling. My kids were so helpful and loved sharing their personal experiences using and growing with Apologia science for so many years. 

Also I was encouraged to meet many families who were planning to begin their very first year of homeschooling this fall. So excited for you! 🎉 

Sharing online about homeschooling has its awesome moments, but talking to you in person about it is a JOY!

As my kids grow in their independence, I am taking As my kids grow in their independence, I am taking on a bit more work, and the timing couldn’t be better.

If you’re a working mom, check out this beautiful 2025-2026 Work Planner from @passionatepennypincher (gifted). It is not only pretty, but so functional as I have been using one diligently for the last 2 years.

My rookie tip is having it sit next to you as you work and/or homeschool to quickly jot down ideas and reminders as they pop into your head during a read aloud. It happens so often! 

Comment “work planner” if you’d like a closer view of this one!

A simple yet effective practice we aim for over al A simple yet effective practice we aim for over all these years is SHORT LESSONS.

It may seem easy, but if you have children asking for “one more chapter,” or who love to do lessons in those early elementary years of innate wonder, it is tempting to let lessons linger. However, I have had to stop myself from reading on in order to build the habit of attention and cover a breadth of subjects with a positive attitude.

“Not the number of subjects but the hours of work bring fatigue to the scholar.”

The meaning of short lessons can vary depending on the age and temperament of your children. I have value in committing to short lessons because of the effect it has on my kids’ love of learning. 

Does this practice give you a feeling of challenge or a feeling of relief?

I remember thinking Sally Clarkson’s words in Th I remember thinking Sally Clarkson’s words in The Life-Giving. Home sounded so far away. My kids were still in the single digits and the thought of focusing education on an atmosphere, discipline, and a life felt big. Here I was trying to survive.

Now that all my kids are in the double digits, I feel the urge to re-read her book. Asking yourself how do you want your children to think back on their childhood definitely deserves its moment. We have now, and are not guaranteed much more.

The intentionality of how we set our home life to be provides a direction for our next steps. The simplest  practices and habits can change the tone and attitude toward learning and family life. For today, that means putting down my inbox and pulling out the ice cream after lunch. 😋

Balancing parenting and teaching is tricky in ever Balancing parenting and teaching is tricky in every season as a homeschool mom, but the teen years bring a whole new layer.

Because now, at least for me, it’s not just about lesson plans and corrected math problems. It’s a temptation to fire hose spray all the life lessons - how to manage time, how to cope with overwhelm, how to avoid the trap of people-pleasing, how to fail and not fall apart.

Oftentimes, I say too much. Other times, I say nothing and wonder if I missed a moment. It’s this quiet wrestle of discerning when to speak and when to wait - when to guide and when to let them come to you.

It’s not easy. It is an art that I have much to learn. There are days I second-guess if I’m doing enough or doing too much. But what’s helping me is learning that the long game matters more than the quick fix. That listening is often more powerful than lecturing. And that connection doesn’t involve constant correction.

If you’re navigating the teen years and figuring out how to wear both the parent and mentor hat, I’m right here with you.

I’d love to know - how do you decide when to lean in and when to pull back with your teens? Share some wisdom in the comments.

Homeschooling the middle school years has a very s Homeschooling the middle school years has a very special place in my heart. I recall being in 7th grade and telling myself to NEVER become a middle school teacher because I thought the kids were so naughty.

However, now that I have indeed become a teacher to middle schoolers, I realize what a crucial opportunity we have. Such impressionable minds and eager hearts to grapple with their growth and independence. 

This book bundle is designed for the middle school years and includes stories of faith, courage, compassion, and more. I am excited to read them in our mornings (they are suitable for the range of ages of all my kids).

One thing I appreciate about these is that they have been re-published by @generations.ministries in original form and content. Take a closer look at this bundle by commenting “middle school” and I will send you the site!

I’ll never forget the moment one of my kids inte I’ll never forget the moment one of my kids interjected during a history read-aloud book to say, “Wait, is this a true story?”

That’s the beauty of using living books as a tool in your homeschool, especially for history. Instead of skimming over names and dates, we enter into a story. We have walked through ancient cities, eavesdropped on world changers, and felt the weight of big decisions made by real people (or at least in real settings).

For my soon-to-be 5th and 8th graders, we’re using a rich, literature-based history curriculum next year, and I’m already swooning over the book list. It’s the kind of resource that sparks conversations at lunch and lingers in their thoughts long after we close the book.

Curious what we’re using? Comment “history curriculum” below and I’ll send you the link!

I started homeschooling my daughter when she was j I started homeschooling my daughter when she was just 5 years old, with a heart full of hope (and some fear). Not long after, I also had a vision shaped largely by the Charlotte Mason philosophy - one rooted in truth, goodness, and beauty. 

Now she’s halfway through high school, and I find myself grateful for the foundation that’s quietly and steadily been laid over the years:
• Giving her best effort, even when it’s hard
• The habit of attention in both work and wonder
• Family Bible study grounding our days in truth and ongoing inner work
• A genuine love for reading that spills into every part of life
• The stamina to read widely and narrate with thoughtfulness
• Eyes and ears aware of beauty and a heart that appreciates the arts

This journey hasn’t been by-the-book or easy for both of us, but it’s been rich and sanctifying. And what a gift it’s been to be stretched alongside her. 

If you are just behind me or just getting started in your homeschool journey, I encourage you to faithfully move forward each day in the disciplines and good habits. Anything good takes remaining in Him and time to develop and grow. 

Here’s to the second half of high school - and the lifelong learning that continues beyond it. Are you hoping to homeschool in high school too? What are your feelings about it?
