Introducing

Family Unit Studies

Where families have fun learning together.

We want to learn together!

Homeschooling multiple children can be a challenge... but it doesn't have to be!


It's time to reignite a love of learning in your homeschool.

Unit Studies make learning meaningful, practical, and deep.


Not to mention easier for homeschooling parents!

Each unit incorporates a variety of subjects through hands-on activities and real-life experiences, perfect for children from 4 to 12 years old.

"I’m a second year homeschooling mom, first time creating a curriculum on my own. We are LOVING the family units. We are using them for our 1st, 4th, and 6th graders, and our 4 year old is tagging along.


They are just so well put together: they’re engaging, fun, and long enough to gain great information but short enough to keep interest at all levels.


I love the differentiation for the different grade levels of our kids, too. It’s empowering to see them recognize they all might be learning the same material, but they have different levels of understanding to go along with the knowledge."

Let's take a peek inside the Reptiles Family Unit Study!

In the Reptiles Family Unit Study, you will explore 10 topics through hands-on activities and experiments:


  • Topic 1: What is a Reptile? Learn about reptile characteristics and play a fun matching game together.

  • Topic 2: Cold-Blooded: What does it mean to be cold-blooded? Test it with a simple experiment!

  • Topic 3: Scales or Scutes: Learn all about reptile skin and make some scales and scutes with salt dough.

  • Topic 4: Lay Eggs: Did you know most reptiles lay soft eggs? We'll try making an egg soft with a hands-on experiment.

  • Topic 5: Lungs and Vertebrates: Let's take everything we've learned so far and compare two reptiles!

  • Topic 6: Turtles: Learn all about turtles and make your very own turtle scute rings.

  • Topic 7: Lizards: Do you know how lizards are able to climb so well? Learn about their special skills while making a beaded lizard.

  • Topic 8: Snakes: Snakes have some incredible adaptations! Learn about them while you try some snake origami.

  • Topic 9: Crocodiles: Find out once and for all what makes a crocodile different than an alligator!

  • Topic 10: Tuatara: Learn all about tuatara and practice making your own reptile tracks with a sensory activity.

"I’ve eyed and looked through so many reptile units. I feel so many science units are information overload and really over the heads of kids.


Your unit gets to the point and is in a language kids will actually connect with! AND it’s not full of write a paragraph, write, write, write and more writing!"

Which unit will you explore first?

We're ready to learn together!

"Just wanted to share with you how much fun we’re having with the human body unit study.  My 3 yo is loving the YouTube videos and asks to watch ‘body’ movies several times a day!


My 5 yo was able to correct his 5 yo buddy from down the street about what your rib cage is and what organ it protects and what its function is!! He’s really good at math also and loves the word problems—even getting the multiplication and division questions! 


My 13 yo is my teaching assistant this year and she’s even enjoying them! (Although, don’t tell her that - she’s too cool for this little kids stuff 🙄😄😂)"

Frequently Asked Questions

What are your qualifications?

I am a certified teacher and reading specialist. Currently, I am a homeschool teacher to my four children. I also support parents, caregivers, and fellow teachers in their journeys with little ones through my blog and curriculum resources. Through decades of teaching children (including my own!), I have refined the best methods to engage children in their learning.

What ages are these Family Unit Studies geared toward?

Family Unit Studies are perfect for children aged 4-12 years old. The hands-on activities and extension questions have been designed to accomodate children of different ages learning together.

When will I receive my order?

Instantly! After purchase, you will be sent an email with a link to download your unit studies. You will be able to view your materials on your computer, tablet, or phone. You can also print a hard copy at home or at your local print shop. Printed and shipped orders are delivered via Priority Post and generally take 3-6 days to arrive.

Do you have hardcopies available?

Yes! The Family Unit Study bundles are all available as either Digital Only or Printed & Shipped + Digital. Currently, individual Family Unit STud are only available as digital downloads. You are welcome to print a hard copy at home, or have your unit study printed and bound at your local print shop.

I've already purchased one of the Family Unit Studies in the bundle, but I would like more!

Please send an email to sarah@howweelearn.com. I'll set up a custom bundle for you so you can still take advantage of the amazing savings offered with this deal!

I only want one Family Unit Study. Are they available to be purchased individually?

Yes! Family Unit Studies are all available to be purchased individually in the How Wee Learn shop here: https://shop.howweelearn.com/collections/family-unit-studies. Please note that individual unit studies are currently only available as digital downloads.

What about math and literacy core skills?

I encourage you to add in core skills when using unit studies. A solid foundation in literacy and numeracy will benefit your child immensely. About 30 minutes a day spent on reading, writing, and math (30 minutes total) complements these unit studies perfectly. Of course, this is optional and depends on your personal view of education.


With my own children, we cover our math and literacy core skills in the morning then dive into a Family Unit Study in the afternoon. Currently, I offer a Grade 1 and Grade 2 Math and Literacy Curriculum that perfectly complements the Family Unit Studies.

Have another question?

I'm here to help! Send me an email, and we can chat about Family Unit Studies to see if they are the right fit for you and your family. You can reach me at sarah@howweelearn.com. I can't wait to hear from you!
