Correlation of Alive in Christ School Edition

This correlation of Alive in Christ School Edition Grades 1–6 provides page references for the Student Book. Other
program components offer additional opportunities for instruction and development of the guidelines. The Teacher
Editions include background content on Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture, as well as formation in developmental
appropriateness. There are also opportunities for teacher formation on-line. Lectionary connections for a three-year-
cycle, assessments, and optional activities are provided, as well. Catholic Social Teaching and lessons for the feasts
and liturgical year can be correlated with core chapters or stand alone.

The Alive in Christ website (aliveinchrist.osv.com) includes extensive online resources and interactive connections
between the Student Book and the website, along with music, assessments, social media interaction, customized
lesson planning, program support materials, a multimedia glossary, question of the week, and many other features.

Alive in Christ deepens children’s experience of faith through song, with two unique components to meet diverse
needs and developmental models. In some cases this music is referenced.

Our Sunday Visitor has partnered with LicenSing Online* to provide music for students and teachers.
This includes the Alive in Christ theme song and age-appropriate music for each grade at varying
steps of the catechetical process.

Songs of Scripture: Deepening Children’s Understanding of the Word of God is an original work of
forty songs designed to teach or unfold the meaning of Scripture.

Songs from both of these resources may be sampled and downloaded at aliveinchrist.osv.com.

Take Note of the Following:

A. Because of Alive in Christ’s approach to its scope and sequence, which is structurally organized around
seven foundational doctrines of the Church, many of the standards are presented at an earlier grade level
and expanded in subsequent years, or will be treated at greater depth in a coming year.

B. Alive in Christ School Edition contains an intentional use of activities to assess learning, aid in
understanding, reinforce concepts, and apply learning to the child’s life. In some cases the activities are cited.
Cross-curricular activities to integrate the faith in all aspects of curriculum are found on the Chapter
Connections page of every chapter in the Teacher Edition.

C. The Vocabulary references in Alive in Christ are named “Glossary of Catholic Faith Words,” and are cited in
the sidebar and found in the Glossary of Catholic Faith Words in the Student Book.

D. Our Catholic Tradition: Faith Basics is a reference section found in the back of the Student Book. This
section is patterned on the Catechism of the Catholic Church and presents content divided into the four
sections of We Believe, We Worship, We Live, and We Pray. This section is referenced in both the Student
Text and Teacher Edition with suggestions to teach the content as part of the lesson.

E. If a standard is not specifically presented in Alive in Christ, a suggestion may appear for the teacher about
where it would be most appropriate to add this content in a lesson.

F. In each grade level, Alive in Christ’s Teacher Editions present a developmental overview of a child at this
age and discuss the content in relationship to the catechetical readiness of the child.

G. Kindergarten correlations for our Kindergarten programs Allelu! and Call to Faith Kindergarten are available
upon request.

H. The NCEA IFG: Acre Edition is directly related to objectives for every chapter in the Teacher Edition on the
Chapter Connections page.

I. While grades 7 and 8 follow the same catechetical process and contain comprehensive theological content
delivered in precise theological language that is developmentally appropriate, a correlation for grade level 7 is
not available until April 2014 and grade level 8 in May 2014 as final editions are currently being completed.
