Unit Studies

A fun homeschooling method is the Unit Studies (also known as thematic units or integrated studies) aproach. This approach teaches everything in 1 unit instead of several different subjects. The Unit Study has a common theme running through everything that you do as all areas are blended together. As such, the children will get to experience how the world them in interconnected.

This approach can be easily adapted to any other style of teaching that you use. Herein everything is neatly tied together in 1 package. If you use a little creativity, you can actually change any pre-packaged curriculum to fit this aproach. This is something that big families enjoy because children of various ages can learn together in their own ways.
