Printables vs. Workbooks
- Printables are just the worksheets used in the ONLINE courses.
- Workbooks include all the printable worksheets plus a worksheet or activity for everyday so the course can be completed OFFLINE (when used with the Parent’s/Lesson Guide).
- DO NOT BUY BOTH (Printables & Workbooks)!
I don’t want to buy anything.
- You do NOT have to buy anything to use the free, online curriculum. There are worksheets (and other things) to print for almost all of EP’s individual courses, but as long as you are okay with printing those at home, there is nothing you need to buy.
- Some courses have free PDF Printable packets that include all the worksheets for the whole course. You can print that and have everything for the year. You will find those linked at the top of the individual course. You can also find them in the EP Store. Those are called Printables.
- All the items that need to be printed are marked with an * (asterisk) in the daily assignments. If you want to print in advance (like a week or two at a time), you can use your computer browser’s search function (Ctrl f) to search for * and see all the printable items.
- Offline 180-day Workbooks and Parent’s/Lesson Guides are NOT available for printing.
I don’t want to print much.
- If you want to use the online curriculum but you’d like to print as little as possible, there are some Printables books that you can purchase that include all the worksheets (and other printed pages) for a course. You can find them linked at the top of the individual course and in the EP Store.
- Middle school math courses do not have Printables books since there aren’t worksheets to print for those courses. If you’d like worksheets for your student to use along with their daily online lessons, you can use the offline math Workbooks.
- The only high school courses that have Printables books are: World History, Biology with Lab, Chemistry with Lab, Biblical Hebrew 1, and Biblical Hebrew 2.
- Many of the other online high school courses have worksheets and other papers that will need to be printed directly from the daily lessons. Any assignment marked with an * will have something to print. You can either print them as you come to them or look ahead in the course and print in advance.
I want to buy books and work completely offline.

What are the Reader Workbooks?
- There are supplemental EP Reader Workbooks with extra vocabulary and spelling worksheets that you can use alongside both the online and offline courses. The Reader Workbook is optional and not needed for completing the course.
- These do NOT have 180 days worth of worksheets, just a handful of worksheets that compliment the reading course. You can find samples in the EP Store.
Can I search Amazon for the books?
- Please do NOT search Amazon trying to find the books you will need. There are a lot of previous editions still listed on Amazon and 3rd party sellers that are selling older editions or selling books for higher prices.
- All of the links in the EP Store will take you to the most up-to-date edition of each EP book on Amazon.
