Specifically designed for online learning, our curriculum helps students both develop a lifelong passion for learning and to thrive.

Online Homeschool Curriculum for Elementary Students

Preschool is mainly meant to prepare students as readers. (You can read my Learning to Read Philosophy here.) Once they can read well, they can do anything. I will also do counting and some basics like shapes, colors, and crafts for small-motor skill practice.

This course is recommended to be used at age 4. If your four-year old isn’t getting it, wait six months and try again. I had two children each start at three, four, and five years old. The children who started at three were starting to pick up sounds and letters and words by asking questions. They were “reading books” by pointing to each word and asking what it was. Basically, they were showing they were ready and interested, and motivated to start learning to read.
