Here’s the scoop:
Patty Thompson, who runs the Shiver Academy Blog, has just completed a wonderful, HUGE project — a Unit Study Companion for the Book of Virtues by William J. Bennett, especially for homeschoolers. Each unit covers 10 of the stories/poems/essays that are included in the Book of Virtues. Each story has worksheets, notebook pages, vocabulary, character study sheets, copywork, 1-2 projects (plus a long-term project) and a Lapbook with an optional unit wrap up activity. And to top it off a full lesson plan for older kids, and a separate one for primary aged children.
The full Study is a whopping 992 pages long (!) and the download is quite large (18.93 MB) – but Patty also has links to individual units available if you just want to download them one at a time. Each unit is roughly 100 pages, but it is not required to DO all those pages. For instance, if you do the worksheets you probably shouldn’t worry about the notebook pages. If your children are young, you probably should skip the projects. If they are really young, just do the wrap up after reading the stories. In short, tweak the materials to fit your family’s needs.

I completed a google search for a study to accompany the book of virtues by william bennett and this link showed up. From what I can tell this resource would be perfect. Is there someway I could obtain a link to this study to use with my daughter?

I forgot to mention that when I click on the link you referred to, I get a page not found error.

That likely means the freebie has expired. Many from that site are temporarily offered…and it was 3 years ago. 😦 So sorry! Join my homeschooling page if you are on Facebook, and you’ll get tips on lots of goodies. It is called Schoolin’ Swag. 🙂
