Description

Take your children from Kindergarten through 2nd grade with our unstructured Primary Unit study Tools.

Tired of trying to put together your own curriculum, year after year? 

Instead of trying to create a unit study structure from scratch, start with one already built for you. Start with our  Primary Unit Study Tools for K-2nd grade.

This literature-based, Charlotte Mason-inspired program written from a biblical worldview will teach you how to use the best children’s books to teach, (instead of the dry textbooks you might be using now).

Along with curated booklists arranged by history unit and topic, we provide a summary of the most significant events and people of each period, assignment choices, project and activity ideas, and across-the-units resources.

Within it’s nine literature-based history and topical units, our Primary Unit Study Tools will carry your K-2nd Grade children from Creation to Modern times. You’ll get:

  • A carefully curated booklist of the best-of-the best in children’s literature for History, Science, and Fine Arts
  • A complete Teacher’s Manual that’ll help you to organize your supplies as well as your day with teaching tips for Kindergarten through Fifth Grade
  • Fascinating assignment ideas for history, science, and fine arts
  • Instructions for how to choose spelling, vocabulary, and copywork from your child’s history and science books so language arts can reinforce history and science.
  • A Charlotte Mason-inspired, integrated method of teaching history, science, laguage, and fine arts that will make your homeschool day flow more easily and take less time than teaching each child out of multiple curriculum books.

And even better? All our Unit Study Tool sets cover the same units and topics at the same time, so you can teach history and science to your children together.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your curriculum. We’ve been homeschooling for several years but never seemed to find our “groove.” School was always an uphill battle. Until beginning with Train Up a Child Publishing this year. Since I have kids in both the primary and intermediate units, we begin each day with read-alouds from the primary unit. The older kids enjoy listening to the picture books along with the younger ones. Then the little ones are free to go play while I read more in-depth books with the older ones. Then everyone has independent reading, writing, spelling and math at their own levels. Thank you so much for providing a curriculum that meets the needs of our family like nothing else has.

How do I use the Primary Unit Study Tools?

Simply read our Teacher’s Manual for how to plan and teach history, language arts, science, and fine arts. Choose to plan your study in advance, or just get started and journal what you read and do after you’ve done it.  It’s your choice! We encourage you to use our Unit Study Program Tools the way that best serves your family.  You can:

  1. Read the Teacher’s overview for each unit.
  2. Choose from our book suggestions labeled by unit and topic and gather your books.
  3. Pick out the assignments and projects from our suggestions or create your own.
  4. Choose a few English skills you want to work on for each week from our checklists.
  5. Choose the copywork illustrating those skills from your history and science books (we teach you how).
  6. Have your children narrate over their reading.
  7. Journal what you and your children read and do

And that’s it! (Of course, you can also plan a unit at a time. It’s totally up to you.)

  1. Rebekah (verified owner) –

    I have been homeschooling for several years but had never found a curriculum that really “fit” our family. Until yours. Your unit studies are structured enough to keep me on track but flexible enough to adapt to each of my 6 children. The book selections keep the children’s interest and they learn so much! I assign writing projects at each child’s level based on the week’s history reading, and we also do a weekly project, so it feels like we are immersed in the time period. Your curriculum has been a wonderful blessing for our family!

  2. Marie (verified owner) –

    We have been using this for First grade and we love it, no boring textbooks, and my daughter loves learning and reading all the wonderful books! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to do the Charlotte Mason Method.

  3. Melinda Sisson –

    I love this curriculum. I have followed the CM method of teaching for my 19 years of homeschooling. I like this curriculum because it has a more updated booklist. We haven’t read a book yet that my boys haven’t liked. I also like the age suggestions on all the books. This helps me figure out which books will be read alouds and which will be read on their own. If you need something that is a guideline for homeschooling that uses CM and Unit Study method than this is the curriculum for you.

  4. Kari –

    After searching through many curriculum choices to find a thorough but easy to use curriculum that integrated History and Language Arts work plus taught History in chronological order, I found the Train Up A Child curriculum. It was the perfect find, and I highly recommend it, especially if you are teaching multiple children at different levels. My children have now all graduated, and I am strongly recommending this curriculum to my daughter who will begin homeschooling her son in just a few short years.
