Catechism for Young Children

Printable memory cards and copywork

Every question of the Catechism for Young Children has a fold-over memory card and a copywork page. Print one question at a time from its page, or print ten at once from the sets below. Each page is made for a home printer: press Print and you get clean sheets with no website clutter.

How do the memory cards work?

Each card prints as one strip with the question on the left half and the answer on the right half. Cut along the dashed border, fold down the dotted middle line and glue the halves back to back. The sets print three cards to a page. Card stock holds up best, but plain paper works.

How do the copywork pages work?

Each page shows the question and answer in print, then the answer again on handwriting lines: a solid top line, a dashed middle line and a baseline. Your child traces the grey letters on one line and copies them on the empty line below. Shorter answers get bigger letters, so most pages fit on one sheet.
