Many moral values were included with low percentages, such as: the etiquette of eating (25,12%), and the values of the preservation of the school, removing something harmful from the road, and lowering one's voice, that were all included with equal percentages (0.12%), in addition to the complete omission of including the value of obedience to the ruler in any of these books.

Recommendations: 1.

The need to have those in charge of curriculum development pay attention to the pre-planning of the system of moral values that should be included in "My Beautiful Language" books for the three upper grades of the primary stage.

2.

The need to reconsider "My Beautiful Language" books for the three upper grades of the primary stage included in the study, so that there can be an increase in the inclusion of ethical values that were the least frequent, in addition to including the values that were not included.
