<h1>Advantages of Unit Studies</h1>
With a unit study your child (or children) study one particular topic in-depth
for a series of days, weeks, or months at a time. This helps alleviate the time
pressures associated with moving from subject to subject that parents newly
involved in homeschooling might feel.

Unit studies are a great way to teach children how to dig deep and become an
expert on certain topics. It teaches them to see the interconnectedness of
academic areas and how to focus on one thing for an extended period of time.
Unit studies foster experiential and mastery learning.
<br/>
<br/>
You, as the parent, can also design your own unit studies based on your child's
interests or hobbies. This can be an amazingly creative and fun way to teach, and
most children find unit studies to be a natural, fun and exciting way to learn and
understand. .
<br/>
<br/>
For parents of multiple homeschooled children, unit studies are also a terrific way
to unify all the students in the your homeschool around a single topic; a very
efficient method that is beneficial to the teaching parent! All aged children can study
the same topic, listen to the same read aloud books, but then do activities more suited
to their individual ability levels.
<br/>
<br/>
Lastly, the unit study method is a great choice for students who need bigger academic
challenges than their age/grade level traditionally provides. Some kids have just an
insatiable hunger for knowledge on topics that interest them. Unit studies provide the
time, freedom, depth and scope to satisfy those kinds of kids.
