Primary Unit Program

Kindergarten through Second Grade

Where Can You Get 3 Years of Homeschool Curriculum for less than $32/year?

Our Primary Unit Program is organized around nine chronological history units. It is designed to be used according to our suggested  schedule, moving your kindergarten through second grade students from Creation to Modern annually.

We have found that following this pace, especially for younger students, keeps them engaged as well as gives them the opportunity to revisit a topic in a short enough time to actually recall more of what they've previously learned.

Progressing through the units yearly allows the opportunity to "layer" information, covering different aspects of the same time period annually so that a deeper understanding is achieved and connections between historic events are more apparent.

 

I really love the primary & intermediate unit programs. The books are a joy to read and share with my children and the science and art are so gracefully woven into the time periods we are studying. --J. S.

 

 

As in all of our  unit programs, this program integrates history, science, geography, language arts, fine arts and projects--all in one homeschool curriculum---using whole, living books.

Although books are not included with the curriculum, many are readily available at your local public or church library or online.

Each unit provides ...

• an Historical book list, including: 
• • the author 
  • ISBN, 
  • library call number (if available) 
  • approximate listening and reading levels 
• a Poetry and Fine Arts book list 
• a Science book list. 
• hands-on projects and activity ideas provided for both history and science, some doing double-duty as fine arts projects as well. 
• For the teacher's benefit, there are multi-page summaries of each time period, to aid you in reviewing the most important events (not shown in the sample unit below). 

See sample of the Colonial Life Unit here.

The 100+ page homeschool Manual that comes with the Unit Programs covers how to teach and evaluate history, science, language arts (phonics, spelling, reading, poetry, etc.) and fine arts, all using books that are available in your local libraries or on-line.

(Note: books are not included in the program.)

Benefits include the following:

	You and your homeschool students will read beautifully illustrated, age appropriate picture books and shorter, high interest chapter books
