At Homeschool Share, we carefully
read each book and lesson plan, and for each we have assigned a unit level that
we believe fits most students. That said,
your child is unique and you know him best--you may find other units outside the
expected ages for which we think the unit is best suited. Do not feel that you
must stay within these levels!
While we strive to have quality units from the very best books, we realize that
each family has their own beliefs, morals, and values as well as their own
definitions of "twaddle" and "living books." As such, we urge you to
pre-read the books and units, to ensure that it suits your family or that you
can adjust the unit to your needs.

Rather than relying on one book that is read each day of the week, these units revolve around one theme and are dependent on a variety of books to enhance learning. They allow a more in-depth study of one particular topic-- giving you the freedom to capitalize on your child's current interest. Simply choose a topic, get the core books you need from the library, and print out the lessons to begin a fun, memorable, extended learning time with your child. |

|
These themes have been assembled based on HSS units that share the same topic. Each theme contains multiple Homeschool Share units plus a library list of suggested go-alongs to embellish your study. Each Connection Study has the potential of lasting you and your student for at least three weeks. |
