Letters & Devotion is a Christian K-12 curriculum that asks for roughly 30 to 50 minutes on screen per subject per day, not a full school day of video, but it is still a screen-based curriculum and not an offline one. Clara, the AI teacher in each lesson, teaches through conversation instead of video, so nothing autoplays. The Bible lesson starts at the table with you, and PE is deliberately off screen.

What the screen time actually is

Roughly 30 to 50 minutes per subject per day. During that time Clara introduces an idea, asks a question, waits for your child's answer and responds to what they said. It is a conversation, not a video, so there is no autoplay and no lecture to sit through.

The Bible lesson starts at the table

The week opens with the Bible read together. You read the passage with your child, have them tell it back in their own words, learn a short King James verse, talk through a few questions and do one small activity. Only afterwards does your child tell Clara how it went.

PE is off screen on purpose

There are PE courses for grades 3-5, 6-8, 9-12 and 10-12, and they are deliberately off screen. Each gives you a weekly plan of what to go and do, rather than something to watch.

The youngest children

A kindergartner hears every question read aloud and answers by tapping, never typing. Clara can read aloud, you can mute her at any time, and for a child too young to type a grown-up can type what they say. Many early lessons, including the early Bible lessons, begin with you at the table.

See what a lesson feels like first

A full sample lesson at /sample needs no account and no card, and every course is published in full to read. The first 30 days of the whole curriculum are free with no card, so you can watch how much screen time your own child really uses.

What this is not

It is a screen-based curriculum. Apart from PE and the table portion of the Bible lesson, the teaching happens on a screen. A family that wants a mostly offline, book-based approach should say so plainly: this is not that.
Thirty to fifty minutes is per subject, not per day. The total depends on how many subjects your child takes, and several subjects add up to a few hours.
Less video does not mean less of you. The weekly Bible lesson is done together, and a young child cannot run most lessons alone.

What grade(s)? (so their first lesson is ready)

Before your child starts: what we collect and why

We collect only what it takes to teach your child: the first name and sign-in you choose, their answers and progress, and their chat with Clara (written by Anthropic's AI, read aloud by OpenAI). Nobody trains AI on it or sells it, and you can see or delete it any time. You create your child's account yourself. Ticking the box below is how you, as the parent, give consent.

Read what we collect and why

Your consent is needed before we collect anything from your child, and we collect nothing without it. You create your child's account yourself; they never sign up alone.

What we collect from your child: the first name and sign-in you choose, their answers, time on lessons and progress, and their chat with Clara. Used to run the lessons, build their transcript and show you how they are doing.
Who else handles it: Anthropic writes Clara's replies from the chat, the lesson and your child's first name. OpenAI turns lesson text and Clara's replies into the read-aloud voice. Spoken answers are turned into text on our own server and never sent anywhere. Our email provider sends you reports. Nobody sells your child's data or uses it for anything else.
Your rights: see everything collected from your child, have it deleted, or stop further collection at any time, from your account or by emailing our support address. If you refuse the sharing above, Clara cannot teach, so the service cannot run. Chats are deleted after 30 days.
Safety: if your child writes something suggesting they may be hurt or in danger, we email you and the owner of Letters & Devotion the same day.

Ticking the box below is how you, as the parent, give that consent. Full details, including how long we keep each thing: Privacy Policy (version 2026-10-09).

I am this child's parent or guardian, and I agree to the above.

Free for 30 days. No card. When the free days end, lessons pause unless you choose to subscribe, $29 a month for every child in the family. Nothing is ever charged without a card.

By continuing you agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy.

Questions parents ask

How many hours a day will my child be on a screen?

Roughly 30 to 50 minutes per subject per day. The daily total depends on how many subjects your child takes, and PE is off screen.

Is it video lessons?

No. Clara teaches through conversation: she explains, asks a question and responds to the answer. There is no autoplay.

Can we do this curriculum mostly offline?

Not really. The teaching in every subject except PE is on a screen. The Bible lesson starts at the table and PE gives a weekly plan to do away from the screen, but the rest is screen-based.

Can I see what a lesson is like before I sign up?

Yes. There is a full sample lesson at /sample with no account, every course can be read in full, and the first 30 days are free with no card.
