Saying About the
Amanda Bennett Unit Studies:
"Wanted to let you know how much we have enjoyed American Heroes. My son especially likes the stories on the computer. I don't have to stay after him to read..." Homeschool Mom
"I have started trying to develop my own unit studies for next year... The Unit Studies 101 guide and suggestions have become a valuable resource in a short time. Thanks for all you do." Homeschool Mom
"I just received the baseball unit. I had purchased your paperback unit a few years ago, and frankly, I was unable to use it. The new CDROM study is fantastic! My son and I are really looking forward to rounding out the year with it. You scored with us!!" Homeschool Mom
"I was extremely impressed with Amanda Bennett’s new Unit Studies 101 on CD-Rom and I cannot recommend it enough. It’s value is unsurpassed for the typical homeschooler. It is so much more than another how to teach something. It is a valuable educational tool that includes hard-to-find resources that will help you understand yourself, your children, your learning and educational goals, how to create a learning environment and make the most of your homeschool experience.
Throughout the CD - in every chapter there are links that will take you to web sites or to documents that give you more details and explanations on the subject at hand. For instance, in Chapter Three, entitled How We Learn, Amanda has carefully researched the developmental needs of children at every stage and has provided links to important documents such as Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning Skills, a link to an extensive document entitled Learning Styles and Strategies published by North Carolina State University, a free online learning styles assessment, study sheets with helps for every type of learner and other links like “Overview of Learning Styles”, “Making Your Learning Style Work for You”, “Index of Learning Styles Questionnaire”, “Learning Styles and Homeschooling” and much more.
Now that’s just in one chapter. Because of the extensive and comprehensive use of technology, this “book” on a convenient CD provides an entire education for you on learning, teaching and homeschooling. This is an investment in your homeschool, in your own education as a parent/tutor and in your children’s education/future that you simply cannot afford to pass up. Thank you Amanda!" Jane Boswell, Editor of the Family Times magazine
"I love this! It has
helped me learn so much about unit studies, and now I'm off to write my
own. The wealth of research links is amazing!"
Homeschool Mom, commenting on
Unit Studies 101
"We received the unit study today. Thanks for the quick delivery! I'm a
new homeschooling mom and am so eager to jump in. I've begun to look at
week one, and I love it already. Thanks for a quality product!"
Homeschooling Mom
"I received my Easter CD today and I AM GOING CRAZY about it! It is just
wonderful! I cannot wait to get started. To be honest, at first I thought
to myself, 'Oh I want the book format so I can sit on the couch and read
it book style.' Well I put the CD on the computer and I am so thankful.
It is perfect. I can print out what I need for that day/week and put it in
my binder!! Thank You! I look forward to purchasing more!" Homeschool Mom
"Amanda
Bennett has taken her popular unit study series to the next level by
moving it to CD-ROM. Booklovers, stick with me; even you will be able
to appreciate the move.
Easter,
a unit study about the Easter holiday (actually from Palm Sunday through
the Ascension) comes to you in Adobe Acrobat Reader format (a pdf file)
that contains active internet links. This means you can log onto the net,
load the disk, and work your way through the day's lessons, going straight
to the appropriate internet sites as you wish to access them - you can't
do that with a regular book! You do still get the hardcopy advantage, of
course; all lessons may be printed out so that each student has his or her
own copy...
In moving to CD-ROM Amanda Bennett really has made a good thing better!"

"There is something in every season, in
every day, to celebrate with thanksgiving... Amanda Bennett's unit study
on Thanksgiving teaches our children, and ourselves as we share it with
them, to appreciate what our forefathers did for us and to be thankful to
the Lord for all that He does for us each and every day... No one has to
convince this reviewer that Amanda Bennett is the consummate unit study
writer!..." Jocelyn Callahan, from Eclectic Homeschool Online

"On the dedication page of her new unit study, Amanda Bennett writes, "This book is dedicated to those who have risked and sacrificed everything for the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness that all Americans enjoy!" These words are truly prophetic. Bennett wrote Patriotic Holidays before September 11, 2001. We are all aware of a sharp contrast in the spirit of the American people, before and after this date. Before the tragedy, little emphasis was placed on heroes, courage, or nationalism. Politicians and military men were seen in the light of cynicism, even suspicion. But in the aftermath of September 11, America has entered a new era. And homeschoolers looking for resources to satisfy the new patriotic hunger will be very interested in this unit study. Its appearance now could not be more timely..." Jody Smith, Editor, www.ncubator.com
"This is a great way to try a limited unit study to determine if you would like to do more, a marvelous way to learn history in the context of these holidays, and a super tool for teaching our children why they should be proud to be Americans." Cathy Duffy, author of the Christian Home Educators' Curriculum Manuals
"Thank you so much for working so hard on these unit studies. I just received my Christmas book yesterday and I must say I am thrilled... You made it so easy with everything already researched and available to me." Homeschool Mom
"I wanted to say that I just received Patriotic Holidays in the mail and...WOW! This is SO awesome. My husband and I have been studying it and we are so excited about starting the Veteran's Day section. I know that our family will be so blessed by all the work that you have put into this. I just wanted you to know how much we appreciate all the work you do. It sure makes our jobs a lot easier and more fun too!" Homeschool Mom
"I just wanted to thank you for putting together such an awesome Thanksgiving unit. My seven-year-old daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this month-long study. We learned so much and had so many new areas to explore. Again, I appreciate the incredible amount of work that you put into this special unit. On Monday, we begin our Christmas one and she cannot wait!" Homeschool Mom
"I ordered Amanda Bennett's book Patriotic Holidays, and almost have everything together to begin our study on Veterans and Patriotism. This book is absolutely awesome. Thank you so much." Homeschool Mom
"I received, just as you said, my holiday special package. I am excited and very impressed! ... I have shopped around, and while I am not an expert, I really like what you have. Please let me know when your Unit 101 book comes out..." Homeschool Mom
"I used this
4-week study with my 5th, 2nd, and kindergarteners. We had a wonderful
time with this! The study did a wonderful job including history,
geography, science, and literature. It relied mostly on the internet as a
resource and I was thrilled to find that all but two of the many, many of
the websites she referred us to actually worked. The activities to go
along with this were fun, memorable for the children, and will help us
review for years to come." Homeschool Mom, on the
