1st Grade (ages 6–7) · 108 structured lessons across 6 subjects, plus adaptive daily practice
First grade is when reading takes off — silent-e words, vowel teams, and longer words turn a letter-sounder into a real reader. In math, your child builds rock-solid addition and subtraction facts and starts thinking in tens and ones. Expect big leaps this year, and plan to read together every single day.
15 structured teaching lessons across 2 units, following Common Core standards. Each lesson teaches the concept first, then the adaptive engine builds fluency with daily practice and spaced review.
