Unit Studies: The answer to teaching multiple ages of students at 1 time

If you are a parent who is homeschooling more than 1 child, you know just how difficult it can be. One way in which you can make homeschooling easier for yourself is through unit studies. Through unit studies you can teach multiple ages of children about a topic at the same time. This is very beneficial as it will make your teaching easier. However, it is going to take you some extra time in order to put a unit study together. Of course, you could also purchase a pre-packaged unit study to do with your children. If you would like more information about what unit studies are and how to put them together, I invite you to take a moment to read an article I wrote, entitled "Frugal Homeschool Unit Studies."

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.
