I prepared my own history curriculum this year. I had been using a living books style “boxed” curriculum for the last couple yearrs but I kept straying from the schedule and not using books. I finally thought, surely I can do this myself!

But, then I needed help… When venturing out on such a big task, you need some really good resources to help you find the best books. Thankfully Sarah Clarkson has done a ton of the work for you in her book, Read for the Heart.
