How do I homeschool multiple ages at the same time?
First, I believe prayer is key to being effective at homeschooling several ages at once. It is only by His strength that we could even attempt to home educate our children. I ask for wisdom on how to speak to the needs of each of my children. Next I ask for creativity to make the material I teach come alive for my students. Second, you must be organized! I plan my unit out three weeks ahead. Every Sunday night I get ready for the week ahead by writing things up on the board or making copying or what ever my unit calls for. I use a unit study approach with my five kids. This works well with multiple ages because they all get something out of a unit depending on their age and abilities. It also gives us good time together every day of the week. My favorite unit study is Weaver. There are many unit studies out there. Ask the Lord and your spouse which one to use for your family. I work with my little ones while my older ones work on some of their work by themselves. Then later I take time
