Chapter books, rather than picture books, are used, but families of profoundly gifted children will probably wish to use these unit studies before age 8 (they may begin anytime the child is ready to read chapter books). Literature selected includes such children's classics as The Cricket in Times Square, Homer Price, The Boxcar Children, and Sarah Plain and Tall. Instructions for the homeschooling parent and interdisciplinary hands-on activities are included.

Mathematics is integrated into other subject areas and becomes part of the ongoing classroom routines, outdoor play, and the spare transitional moments that occur every day."
