Huge Round Up of Literature and Theme-Based Unit Study Ideas

If you've been around the blog for a while you'll know that I happen to love unit studies. There are many reasons why. I have a whole post on how awesome unit studies are, how you can involve the whole family in learning with a unit study, how you can follow the interests of your children with unit studies, how you base your learning on great living books with unit studies, and how unit studies can provide hands-on activities for learners.

If you're interested in using some great unit studies with your kids, this post is a round up of many of my unit study resources. You can find literature-based studies as well as thematic unit studies here. In this post you can find information about creating your own unit studies in five easy steps.

I hope that these give you a good starting point for creating your own unit studies. If there is a book or topic you'd love to do a unit study on, share it with me in the comments. I love looking for resources centered on a theme or book, and I'd love to write a post about a unit study that interests you.

Use the resources in each of these posts to create your own unit study using my free ebook- Create Your Own Unit Study- that includes instructions and a planning packet for creating your unit study.
