I just got an email about this new edition for young children and two upcoming editions for older children and "adults...new to the catechism." "The Ascension Catechism for Young Beginners is the first-ever children's edition of the Catechism that covers the entirety of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) and preserves the structure of the CCC. Designed for ages five and up, the text has been adapted in an age-appropriate question-and-answer format..." "Is this based on the full Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC)? Does it include all parts of the Catechism? Yes, every paragraph of the Catechism of the Catholic Church has been condensed and adapted. All four parts of the Catechism are included and covered. We do recognize that the Catechism contains some mature themes and difficult topics. For this reason, we have greatly abridged certain portions of the Catechism to be suitable for this age group." "Will there be other versions created for older children? Yes. There will be three levels associated with increasing reading level comprehension. The Catechism for Young Beginners (incorporated into grades K 2) is intended for children ages five and up. The Catechism for Beginners (incorporated into grades 3 5) is intended for adults who are new to the Catechism and children eight and older. The Catechism for Youth (incorporated into grades 6 8) is intended for youth eleven and up." https://ascensionpress.com/products/the-ascension-catechism-for-young-beginners-1?variant=48314999308480 Attached File |

We only have the regular Catechism, so a juvenile-oriented one would be good for my young teenager. |
