Thank you for this review! I’ve been doing SOTW with my kids. I tried a formal history program with them last year but I could tell they just weren’t ready for that amount of information. I’m really intrigued by Biblioplan and will look into it for next year. I love that it accommodates many ages.
We used your code and purchased the ancient cycle of biblioplan to use next year for my 3rd, 5th and 9th graders. 😊 I am so excited to use this program! We used story of the world when my kiddos were very young (k and 2nd) and moved onto beautiful feet books. We started our oldest with bfb when we started homeschooling her 6th grade year. I love bfb, but when my oldest was ready for their high school ancient history, I just could not go through with it. Looking through the biblioplan program, it looks like it will be a much better fit for all my girls! I love the timeline and map work that ties everything together and helps the student make connections and I also love all the book and resource recommendations!!! That family guide is a treasure trove! 😂 This summer I plan to sit down with my girls individually and go through the recommendations and let them select the books they will be reading independently and start ordering from thriftbooks! I was praying about history and your videos about biblioplan came at just the right time and I truly feel like they were an answer to prayer. I have so much peace and excitement about history next year!!! Thank you!
Haven’t heard of Biblioplan yet. Thanks for the review and great ideas! Always look forward to your videos for reference. We have kiddos similar ages and relate to you on most things! Keep the awesome videos coming friend!❤😊
This year was our first for Bilioplan (Ancients) & we love it. I love how the text & the worksheet Qs start off with a Biblical teaching then streamlines into a world history teaching. It’s simple and engaging. I myself have learned so much & My husband enjoys it too.
Thank you for doing this! I’m sold to biblioplan for next year now! Was trying to decide to between going to mfw CTG greeks after ECC this year but you’ve sold me on Biblioplan!
I found Mystery of History at a thrift store for $2 and bought it! I'm loving most of it, but I'm not sure if it's the direction I want to take my kids down with regards to different faith beliefs and opinions. Have you used it before along with Biblioplan? Any thoughts on it?
This is so helpful, thank you! We are planning on starting SOTW next year. My kids will be in 8th, 6th, 3rd and 1st. But I love the look of Biblioplan......
Thanks for the video Megan! We have used MFW for 8 years now and love the strong Bible incorporation. Does biblioplan have more than just Bible reading a day? Or is the Bible just something that is pretty much checked as read for the day?
Great video! I'd like to know how many independent readers do you assign to your older kids with BiblioPlan? I have the family guide, but it does overwhelm me and leads me to think that I have a lot to figure out. We haven't used it because of that overwhelm. Clearly, I needed a hand holding and am probably over-thinking things😅
I have three questions. 1) I am considering getting a bundle but idk what to get. Next year I will have a PreK and a 4th grader. 2) Is the literature and writing sufficient LA for a fluent reader. 3) Does Biblioplan use historical fiction for literature? We are considering the switch from Story of the World. I love that it still uses Story of the World though because my son LOVES it. We would be getting level 4.
I love both MFW and Biblioplan. So... I use both🤣. I bring in Remember The Days and choose some books off Biblioplans list. But follow the MFW teacher guide. I love the Bible in MFW and really like the teacher guide lay out. Maybe I'm just used to it.

I appreciate when a curriculum has videos included that they have screened.
This was VERY helpful. I have had all three of these on my list of options.

This is the best comparison of these 3 literature-based history programs that I've seen. Thank you!
Thank you! Best video that explains these different curriculums.
I’m glad it was helpful!
That Family Guide is incredible. I think I’m switching to Biblioplan.
Love this video. Great comparison. Love that it includes the classical method
Thank you for doing this! I’m sold to biblioplan for next year now! Was trying to decide to between going to mfw CTG greeks after ECC this year but you’ve sold me on Biblioplan!
THANK YOU! What a useful and great comparison of the three curriculums.
Thanks for this comparison video! I’m curious how long a Biblioplan lesson takes, and how many days a week. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing got a better understanding of all of the curriculum.

So helpful! Really great comparison ❤

Do u have a video on the BiblioPlan’s ancient history?
This was so helpful, thank you!

Can Biblioplan be done twice a week instead of 3:
What are your thoughts/feelings on the classical Christian Memoria Press? Thank you
I’m actually not familiar with their history, but I do love many of their other products.
One thing about Story of the World. It skips creation.
I love both MFW and Biblioplan. So... I use both🤣. I bring in Remember The Days and choose some books off Biblioplans list. But follow the MFW teacher guide. I love the Bible in MFW and really like the teacher guide lay out. Maybe I'm just used to it.
OMG we have the same name 😂 that tripped me up a bit.
@armjohnson92 They are both so good, I couldn't choose just 1!
Random…where is your shirt from?😊
Great video!!! Thanks!! ❤️
How many days a week is biblioplan?
SOTW 4 is used in some high school history plans, I think.
Typically it is used in elementary and some middle school. It’s written to target 1-8th grade depending on the volume.
