4. Tutor In A CD: Audio Baltimore Catechism
Many parents have let us know that the audio versions have been like having a tutor to help kids review. This is exactly why we made these.
As we had five, six, seven, and eight children; it became hard to find time to review the children's catechism well enough for them to memorize the answers.
We have had many letters from pastors, catechists, teachers and parents who appreciate having a Baltimore Catechism CD to help with the memorizing.
We've had letters from grateful parents whose children were dyslexic or auditory learners, meaning that they learned their catechism answers faster using the audio catechism.
Using headphones was mentioned several times as the biggest help as the headphones or ear buds help block distractions. 'Awesome for auditory learners!
4.A. First Communion Audio Catechism
Once your children or students can pronounce the words, this First Communion Audio Catechism download will help them memorize or review the questions and answers.
You can go directly to the Q&A track number that you want them to memorize.
Put the track on repeat for such answers as the Ten Commandments or the Apostles Creed.
This is awesome review for anyone.
It's also perfect for audio learners, especially if they use headphones or earbuds.
First Communion Audio and Text Files
The prayers are at the end of the First Communion CD to make it easier for children to search for a question and answer track.
The prayers should be learned before the questions and answers, so it is best to start the year previous to preparing to receive the Holy Eucharist.
If you can, have your children start memorizing the prayers early in the First Communion year or even the year before, which might lessen stress during the First Communion year.
Many children already know the last half of the prayers that we use in the Rosary, but they'll usually be required to learn the whole prayer for receiving Communion since these are also used as penances in confession: three Hail Marys, Act of Contrition, etc.
The easiest way to learn the Communion prayers is to say the Rosary every day.
The Living My Religion Baltimore Catechism series used three books to teach the First Communion questions, which shows that the Church has taught that it is usually good to start memorizing the prayers in Kindergarten.
Be sure not to overload children. Ambient learning can be good enough for most of these answers, especially the prayers.

4.B. Catholic Confirmation Audio Catechism
The same is true for your students who use the Confirmation Audio Catechism. They'll be learning or reviewing the Baltimore Catechism answers for Confirmation.
They can even listen to the recording while riding to school or doing light chores - anywhere an MP3 player can go. This is awesome for adults!
Confirmation Audio and Text Files
On the other hand, the Confirmation questions and answers are placed after the Catholic prayers on the Confirmation CD. Older students are able to navigate past them easier than younger students. Refer to the printable text for the numbers on the tracks.
Generally, these CDs are not meant to be listened to all in one pass. This can be fine for an adult catechumen reviewing the Roman Catholic beliefs, but it would not be appropriate for a young child.
The audio catechisms consist only of a list meant to be learned three to five questions per week.

They're timeless so they're a one time purchase. Their answers will always be up to date.
