Homeschooling With Unit Studies
FREE Lesson Plans and Activities!
Unit Studies focus on a single topic (say Egyptian History) using different subjects (art, writing, reading, etc.) to explore the topic.
You can teach multiple ages at the same time by simply adjusting the difficulty of the assignments.
Different learning styles can be easily accommodated using this method. Topics are chosen based on the interests of your family (or child).
Family relationships are strengthened as children study together with the older children helping the younger.
