In Letters & Devotion a fifth grader takes Bible: Letters, Wisdom and the Whole Story (60+ hours), Reading Closely, Writing Clearly (22+ hours), Place Value, Parts, and Space (22+ hours), Matter, Systems, and the Sky (22+ hours) and The American Story Begins (25+ hours), plus art, music and PE for grades 3-5. Every course is published in full.

Bible: letters, wisdom and the whole story

Four units, 60+ hours: Letters to Churches, Letters to Everyone, Wisdom for Living, and One Story. About 100 minutes a week for 36 weeks, in the King James Version.

English language arts

Eight units, starting with Reading with Evidence and Comparing Characters, then Point of View, Structure in Stories and Poems, and Integrating Information from two texts. The second half turns to writing a story, an opinion piece and an informative piece. It follows the Common Core State Standards.

Mathematics

Eight units: Place Value to the Thousandths, Decimal Arithmetic, Multi-Digit Division, Adding and Subtracting Fractions, Multiplying Fractions, Dividing Unit Fractions, Volume, and the Coordinate Plane. Every new skill gets a picture first, like a block, an area drawing or a fraction bar.

Science and American history

Matter, Systems, and the Sky runs from particles and conservation of matter through plants and ecosystems, Earth as a system, the water cycle, and the sun and stars, in line with the Next Generation Science Standards. The American Story Begins runs from the nations before contact to the Constitution.

Art, music and PE

Seeing and Making (art), Making Music and Physical Education for grades 3-5 are separate courses, and PE is deliberately off screen with a weekly plan of what to go and do.

What this is not

It is a lot of courses. Fifth grade has about eight, and you decide which to take, which to hold back and how many to do in a day.
The Creation units sit in the science courses for grades 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 12, so fifth grade science follows the Next Generation Science Standards without one.
A child who is behind is not stuck. The course slows down, and you can set courses to a lower grade.

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.
