Synopsis

Curiosity motivates and energizes children and adults alike. It also often goes untapped and underutilized. What makes your children curious, inviting them to ponder and ask questions? Maybe it’s reptiles, or maybe geography? Unit studies—a collection of activities and experiences related to a topic, presented as a whole, and complemented by opportunities for natural application—capture the innate inquisitiveness of children and use it as a catalyst for greater learning potential and higher retention. This teaching method is effective with one child or several multi-level learners, working individually or collaboratively, and can be incorporated into any educational philosophy. Unit studies meet learners where they are, while gently inviting them to dig deeper and learn smarter. Cheryl Bastian, mother of eight and home educator for almost three decades, penned Cultivating Curiosity: A How-to Guide for Creating Unit Studies Children LOVE to encourage parents as they consider theme-based learning. This ready-to-use reference offers:Sample units, complete with book lists and activity ideasSteps and tips for building a home libraryRecord-keeping optionsPrintable planning sheets What is your child eager to explore and discover? Cultivating Curiosity comes alongside those interests and gives you tools to turn questions and ponderings into engaging, enriching educational adventures that go beyond the daily must-dos and should-learns to put your family on the path toward lifelong learning.
