The Unit Study Starter Kit (Founders Edition)

A complete starter kit for planning your own unit studies

The Unit Study Starter Kit is a self-contained digital resource designed to help you plan meaningful, flexible unit studies with confidence.

It includes clear explanations, links to further examples, a printable workbook, an example unit study, and reusable planning pages — all clearly marked so you can print only what you need.

Plan Unit Studies — Your Way

Unit studies offer a flexible, creative approach to home education that connects subjects, follows your child’s interests, and makes learning feel meaningful.

But knowing what a unit study is and actually planning one are two different things.

The Unit Study Starter Kit is here to bridge that gap.

What’s Inside the Unit Study Starter Kit

This digital download includes:

• Create Your Own Unit Study Workbook

A guided, step-by-step planning framework that mirrors the stages in the Unit Study blog series.

• Completed Sample Unit Study

A full, real-life example showing how the process works from start to finish.

• 80 Unit Study Ideas

A curated, expandable list of topic ideas organised by theme and season.

• Flexible Planning Pages

Clearly marked printable pages designed for all ages and learning styles — nothing rigid or prescriptive.

How This Works

You can use the Unit Study Starter Kit in the way that suits you best:

• Plan alongside the free 8-part Unit Study blog series, using the kit to capture ideas as you read
• Or work through the kit independently at your own pace

There’s no fixed order, no pressure to complete everything, and no expectation that learning needs to follow a rigid schedule.

Who This Is For

This Starter Kit is ideal for:

• Home educators new to unit studies who want a clear, gentle starting point

What This Is Not

This is not:

• A rigid curriculum
• A scripted lesson plan
• A one-size-fits-all solution

It’s a planning tool — designed to support your ideas, your children, and your rhythm.
