How does Family Learning work?
All children will study the same topics simultaneously, each at his own level. Children do the same activities whenever possible. When the difference in ability levels prevents this, the more advanced child either helps another child or works independently. When the children come together at meals, it is a time to recap what they have learned, thus reinforcing what each child has studied. In this particular sample unit, the beginning material is geared more toward the younger children and the latter sections are geared toward the older ones. Have the older ones get started on their reading and research while you work with the younger ones.
