​Characters of Character focuses on nine character traits.  We believe that introducing these traits at a younger age will create a better-quality society for everyone.  Characters of Character has developed nine Characters to correspond with each trait focus, making it easy for children to understand, internalize, and portray these values.  
Here's a quick look at what Characters of Character does:
  •  Build traits into personal habits
  •  Characters allow children to make the connections that their actions create their character
  •  Promote student success by providing them with internal tools to achieve their goals
  •  Provides academic enhancement and life skills
  • Supports and promotes physical, mental, social and emotional health
  •  Allows youth to not only realize their potential, but reach their full potential and build a sense of purpose.  Students interact with each other in positive ways and develop a positive  sense of belonging
  •   Develop emotional and social skills help children to communicate effectively, allowing them to better  manage their behavior                              
Our program was designed to build good character through our Characters and their respective traits while enhancing a child's ability to read, write, make good decisions, develop fine motor skills, and to build and improve social and emotional skills; we call these 5 personal abilities our "Five Platforms." We build upon our Five Platforms because we believe that these 5 abilities are essential in learning, teaching, working, and critical thinking. Students that enhance these abilities, we believe, are more likely to succeed in higher education and in their careers. The Characters of Character are successful in teaching positive character traits and essential life skills because of a collaboration of influence from students, from teachers, from parents, and from schools themselves. We have taken our time to develop the absolute best, most personable, and definitively effective Characters and traits, reinforcements, lessons, activities, tools and resources in our  Let's Be Books, Resource Books and Bulletin Board and Posters Books.

Did you know that Joni spent five years on the school Reading Team? The Resource Books include so many opportunities to bring writing skills into your child's daily schedule. Simply practicing to write a specific letter, a name, a sight word or a complete sentence becomes more engaging with the character stationary. The character reminds us of our social skills, our character and our decision making. When the child understands the meaning of each character, they can understand their choices that they are making through their lives. All the data we've collected through the years is shared below.
