 Epi Kardia Literature-based Christian Homeschool Curricula

Aliece & MIchael - Dana's kids and past users of Epi Kardia Christian literature-based homeschool curricula.

We have included the following articles to instruct, support, edify and encourage you in your educational and parenting endeavors, as well as to help those using Epi Kardia Christian literature-based homeschool curriculum to get the most out of their curricula. 

If you are using one of the Epi Kardia Complete Programs, these first two articles were written to help you in choosing books and creating lesson plans. Remember to first read the sections in the Epi Kardia Teaching Manual pertaining to planning units before you begin to plan.  Many, ourselves included, find it helpful to thoroughly reread the teaching manual on an annual basis before planning the next year's school work.

Another helpful way to get a handle on planning is to order a set of Daily Lesson Plans along with your Complete Program. That way you have the first three units planned for you already as well as plenty of examples to use when planning your other units for that year. Six weeks of lesson plans in history, science, language arts and fine arts is a great leg up at the beginning of the school year!

At times we may include other articles of interest that relate to home schooling or education in general. To see more articles, we hope you will subscribe to our blog and occasional newsletters and take advantage of our two free poetry e-books for doing so!

"I'm still using Epi Kardia and LOVING it! I added one more student this year to the mix, A.! She and I do a more traditional Epi Kardia approach, whereas J. and G. know the drill and are on something like auto pilot with the program. Thank you for your dedication to writing such a fine curriculum.  My family have enjoyed it and been blessed by it time after time.  I still share it with everyone who will listen!"

--Jennifer

"E. is in 4th grade right now and C. is in 1st grade.  I love being able to use Epi Kardia with both of them!  (And we'll be adding L. in kindergarten next year.)  What a blessing this curriculum has been and continues to be for us!  Thanks Dana and Beth!"

--Julie

"I have 4 children and we are using all 4 levels of the program. Just another reason why I love this program! It is flexible enought for me to do just what I want with it! :-) "

 --Pam

"The kids and I just finished playing a '20th Century Trivia' board game that A. made after I saw it in the [Preparatory Complete Program] Epi Kardia curriculum. What a great idea! He had to come up with the idea, use history & geography to come up with the categories and then the questions, make the board, paint the board and then make up the rules. It was a great 2-week project!"

I am very excited about where the Lord will take us this year in our homeschooling! I am telling everyone I know about your amazing customer service.
May God Truly Bless you in all you do!
Thanks,

"I am using the American Literature [high school] curriculum for a co-op starting in August and am very pleased with it so far.  I have laid out weekly lesson plans for the group so that they are reading along at the same pace and know which assignments will be due when.  It is so clearly laid out and easy to use.  I love the notes on grading/assessing the assignments and the rubrics you have provided.  I want to order a few more things real soon, so really appreciate the coupon!!
Thanks!"

--Erica

"I am grateful and appreciative. [You have provided] customer service of the highest degree - thanks so much, and thanks for the updates on future products. You are most kind."
