Unit Studies Resources
Unit studies are wonderful for folks who want a multilevel family friendly
homeschool.
With good resources from your personal library
and the public library, you are on your way to digging deeper into any topic
incorporating several subject areas. We have books to help you choose good
literature for your unit study.
The
All Through
the Ages History Through Literature Guide is a great listing of books for
all grades. Listed chronologically and geographically, it is comprehensive
and well organized.
Let the Authors Speak is another excellent listing of books by author, time
period, and location.
In addition to these book guides, Valerie Bendt wrote the
definitive book about doing homeschool unit studies.
Unit
Studies Made Easy: A Guide to Simplified Learning at Home is a revision and
compilation of Valerie Bendt's four unit study titles: How to Create Your Own
Unit Study, The Unit Study Idea Book, For the Love of Reading, and Success with
Unit Studies. You'll find it helpful if you are new to this method of
homeschooling.

By Christine Miller
An excellent multi-level guide, All Through the Ages
is a "compilation of over 5,600 of the best living books and great literature,
arranged by chronological era, geographical region, and reading level, from many
respected resources."
Use All Through the Ages to find great books for your history
studies if you use a literature approach, a unit study approach. If you are
using a traditional curriculum, use the guide to find supplementary reading for
your children. It's a Lamp Post Homeschool Store Favorite!
