Some Primary Resources used in
all four of our plans for grades K-8:
BiblioPlan’s Parent Companion
Finally! In response to the overwhelming feedback we have received over the years, we are proud to present BiblioPlan’s Parent Companion Series! The Parent Companions bring together what will be read each week out of all the different sources. Along with giving you examples of the maps, answers to the Cool History pages, and an expanded review of the main reading texts, you will receive information that you will not find in the class time books assigned. Bible history, World History, Church history, and American history are all interwoven throughout the Companion.
The Companion is designed in a color-coordinated style so that you can pick and choose what you want to use. It includes Amazing Ancients, Giants of the Faith, Missionary Minutes, Amazing Americans, Interesting Individuals, Brilliant Brits, Musical Masters, Dastardly Dictators, Fascinating Facts and much more.
