Our daily lesson plans  integrate history with science, language arts, fine arts and projects, so there is no need to purchase separate curriculum for every subject.  Epi Kardia is used with engaging, living books (not included) that are found in your public or church library, used bookstore or on Amazon.com  .

I am planning on using Epi Kardia right on up through high school so don’t stop writing those lesson plans!

"We have really enjoyed using the Epi Kardia unit on the Ancients! The lesson plans are very user friendly and such a help to me!! Another thing I appreciated is that it is a really nice blend of reading with hands on activities and discussion. One thing that makes this curriculum very affordable is being able to get the great majority of the books at the library, if you choose. However, some of the books are really wonderful books, and things you may want to keep on your bookshelf. I think it is a great curriculum and one I recommend to people quite often!! I think you and Beth have done a great job and I am really impressed! Thank you again for all your help!! Blessings,"

--Rose,   Mom of 2 

"Over the past school year we have benefited from using the Epi Kardia daily lesson plans. We have thoroughly enjoyed each book that we read as we traveled through history; Epi Kardia truly made history come alive! In addition, the lesson plans have helped to keep us on schedule, given us hands-on projects, questions, and web sites to research, writing assignments to complete and worksheets to help organize information! Thank you!"

"I have a critique, and I hope you take this in the manner that it is meant – with honesty, etc. I am not sure you’re charging enough money for all you are providing (in the lesson plans). I am so very impressed with your products… Just wanted to thank you for all the work that you and your partner have put into them."
