Elementary health at home can slide into a poster about the food pyramid. Health for Grades 3-5 is built to teach a child to think of their body as something they run and look after. It has five units and 12+ hours, taught by you about 50 minutes a day, and the guide pictures a semester of it.

The five units

Fuel, Rest, and Play: How Your Body Works. Germs, Hygiene, and Staying Well. Staying Safe: Home, Street, Bike, and Online. Feelings, Calming Down, and Being a Good Friend. Growing Up: Your Changing Body.

Inside-the-body answers

In Unit 1 every food, sleep or movement choice gets tied to a job: energy, growth, focus or repair. When your child says a food will make them skinny or strong-looking, the guide's reply is to ask what it does for their muscles. Your child builds a one-day plan of meals, movement and sleep from their own routine.

Handwashing when nobody is watching

Unit 2 teaches germs as living things too small to see, spreading by hands, air and surfaces. Your child learns the four-step handwash, the cough routine, and why a habit matters when nobody checks, and practices telling a trusted adult when they feel sick.

Four kinds of danger, one rule

Unit 3 covers fire (get low and go, with two exits from your home), street crossing, bike gear, medicine, and an uncomfortable moment online. All four run on the same move, tell a trusted adult, even if it seems small or you think you will be in trouble.

Feelings, and the difference between telling and tattling

Unit 4 matches feeling words to calming strategies, then covers listening, including others, and apologizing with a real change in behavior. Your child learns telling when someone could be hurt versus tattling, and how to say no without ending a friendship.

What this is not

It is not a fitness or weight course. The guide frames it around what food, sleep and movement do inside the body, and not around looks.
It is not a quick quiz course. The guide plans 50 minutes, five days a week, and says to check again about a week after each unit, because that is when you find out what stuck.
It is not a script of finished answers. The guide marks the middle of Unit 1 and the online-safety part of Unit 3 as the trickiest stretches, because children badly want to believe danger comes only from strangers.

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.
