Who this unit study planner is for
This planner is for homeschool families and teachers who love learning by theme. It suits parents teaching children of different ages together, families following their kids' interests, and anyone who wants history, science, reading and art to connect. Whether your topic is oceans, ancient Egypt or the solar system, it keeps your ideas and plans in one place.
How to use your unit study planner
Brainstorm themes on the topic ideas page and pick one. Use the subject web to link it to reading, writing, math, science and art. Plan the overall unit, then break it into weeks on the weekly plan. List library books and key vocabulary words. Choose a final project to show what was learned, and finish by filling in the record page so you remember what worked for next time.

Can I teach several ages with one unit?
Yes. Unit studies work well for mixed ages. Note different tasks for each child on the weekly plan. Other pages in the 13-page unit study planner include "Unit Study Ideas", "Subject Web" and "Unit Plan", so related notes stay together.
How long should a unit last?
Most families spend two to six weeks on a theme, but you can plan any length. Other pages in the 13-page unit study planner include "Unit Study Ideas", "Subject Web" and "Unit Plan", so related notes stay together. Every page is undated, so you can start any day and reprint a page whenever it fills up.
Do I need a curriculum to use it?
No. It works on its own or alongside the curriculum you already use. Other pages in the 13-page unit study planner include "Unit Study Ideas", "Subject Web" and "Unit Plan", so related notes stay together. Download it free, print only the pages you need and add more copies of any page later.
Is the Unit Study Planner really free?
Yes, the Unit Study Planner is completely free for personal use. Download the 13-page PDF without an account or email address, print it at home as often as you like and share the page link with friends. Matching bundles on our Etsy shop are optional and paid; this single planner stays free.
What size is the Unit Study Planner?
The Unit Study Planner comes in A4 (210 x 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 x 11 inches), plus a hyperlinked digital PDF for tablets. Choose the file that matches the paper in your printer and print at Actual size or 100%, so nothing is cut off. Both paper sizes have the same 13 pages.
