Level 2 Reading
Atticus is a wise man, committed to justice and equality, and his parenting
style is based on fostering these virtues in his children—he even encourages
Jem and Scout to call him “Atticus” so that they can interact on terms as equal
as possible. Throughout the novel, Atticus works to develop Scout’s and Jem’s
respective consciences, through both teaching, as when he tells Scout to put
herself in a person’s shoes before she judges them, and example, as when he
takes Tom Robinson’s case, living up to his own moral standards despite the
harsh consequences he knows he will face.

Level 3 Reading
Atticus is a wise man, committed to justice and equality, and his parenting
style is based on fostering these virtues in his children—he even encourages
Jem and Scout to call him “Atticus” so that they can interact on terms as equal
as possible. Throughout the novel, Atticus works to develop Scout’s and Jem’s
respective consciences, through both teaching, as when he tells Scout to put
herself in a person’s shoes before she judges them, and example, as when he
takes Tom Robinson’s case, living up to his own moral standards despite the
harsh consequences he knows he will face. Atticus is a kind and loving father,
reading to his children and offering them comfort when they need it, but he is
also capable of teaching them harsh lessons, as when he allows Jem to come with
him to tell Helen Robinson about Tom’s death. At the end of the novel, when
Atticus believes that Jem killed Bob Ewell, he tries to talk Heck Tate, the
sheriff, out of calling the death an accident—Atticus’s standards are firm, and
he does not want his son to have unfair protection from the law.
Level 3: What is Atticus' relationship to his children like? How does he seek to
instill conscience in them?
