  1. I heard about the Amanda Bennett unit studies through other homeschool bloggers. I think the first time I ever heard about it was through Marcy at Ben and Me. I also attended a homeschool conference and listened to a presentation about the products. Thank you for the chance to win!

  8. I don't remember where or when I first heard about Amanda Bennett Unit Studies because it took me a while to actually contact the site. Our ten year old son has autism and it's difficult to find homeschool products he really learns from. We tried one of the Download N Go products and also one that takes a whole month. I was surprised by how well our son actually enjoyed learning about classical composers with the Download N Go unit! Ever since then, we've tried other Download N Go units and it hasn't been too bad. We'll try doing a month long unit again when he's older and maybe we'll have better success with them but for now, I'm very happy with the shorter studies.

  9. It was recommended to me that we should try unit studies. I had no idea what they were and googled unit studies and this was the first link that was on the list. Never got any further than this. We LOVE all that we have tried so far. Thank you for bringing the fun back into learning.

  14. I discovered this through one of the homeschooling sites I belong to, I immediately purchased the solar system deal you had and my son loved it. Since then I have purchased quite a few other unit studies to compliment our curriculum.

  15. I heard about Amanda Bennett through the Australian Homeschool community, bought some Unit studies and never looked back! These studies have been the biggest blessings in my 9yr old son's learning journey and still are!

  19. I googled Unit Studies and had spent a few days "peek"-ing at the DNG downloads and asking moms in my homeschool group if they had tried USAB (none had). Time passed and suddenly a girlfriend of mine (living overseas) shared a sale code on FB. I immediately started asking her how it was going using them and soon after started making purchases.

  21. I have learned the USAB unit studies from researching unit studies. My kids are pretty close age and I need to have something we could all learn together. The fun of learning together is wonderful.

  22. I met Amanda Bennett at a FIAR conference in Olathe, KS about 8 or 9 years. I still remember how kind, wise, and caring she was. I have just started using unit studies again in my homeschool and I looked up her studies right away.
