This type is known as thematic learning, teaching across the curriculum, or integrated study. Basic school subjects are studied in light of a particular topic, theme, or historical period instead of isolated subjects. Most often, a separate phonics and math program is needed (though some companies include them as supplements or offer choices).

Cons: Can have gaps in skills so needs balancecan be overwhelming to new homeschoolers, lesson plans are more flexible and require you to provide the structuremay lack resource materials on the field lacks test taking skills in content areas;ProgrammedThis type is often based on a self-paced, sequential workbook. It requires no preparation and usually little direct teaching by the parent.Pros:Very easy to use, little preparation, independent learner based, self-paced, especially great for content areas;
