Amanda Bennett's unit studies were an easy transition for us from public school to homeschool. I did not like textbooks and was interested in unit studies, but didn't want to spend a full semester/year on one subject like the others unit studies I researched suggested. These unit studies were only 4 weeks long and she made it easy by including assignments for the upper and lower levels from day1 week 1 all the way through day 5 week 4.
I must also add that we were at Myrtle Beach while working on the Ocean unit study and it didn't feel like school!

Pros
These unit studies are well organized, user friendly, and can be used for all grades and ability levels. They also include a long list of book ideas for each study as well as wonderful ideas for family projects.
Cons
You have to make sure you choose a subject that your child(ren) is interested in because sailing ships was painful due to the fact that my daughter had no interest in sailing ships. The other con is that math is not included.
