5. Medieval History Curriculum

BiblioPlan Curriculum

 I have personally used this curriculum. It is a great resource if you are looking for an all-in-one source. This is a year long curriculum or possibly even two years. There is a lot of reading but we found the audio CD for the Remember the Days book very engaging for reluctant readers- my boys would listen to the audio book while following along with the text and photos in the book.. If you are looking for a complete curriculum and don't want to fuss with pulling one together with small unit studies then this is a good resource. If a thick textbook intimidates you or your kids then this may not be a good fit. There are multiple resources that you buy which make up the BiblioPlan Medieval History Curriculum Set. There are two age levels K-6 and 7-12th. I break it down for you below in 3 steps.
