Letters & Devotion's kindergarten Bible course, In the Beginning, reads Genesis once through in a year at about twenty minutes, three times a week, and its first unit is a free printable PDF. You read a short King James passage aloud, your child tells it back in ordinary words, you learn one verse, and you do one small thing.

What a lesson asks of a five-year-old

The parent reads the passage aloud, slowly, old words included, because a young child does not need to understand every word to know it is the real thing. Then the child tells the story back in their own words, and the lesson ends with one verse learned and one small thing to do.

The four units, and the free first one

The course, Bible: In the Beginning, a Kindergarten Year in Genesis, has 4 units and 36 lessons. Unit 1, also called In the Beginning, is a free 30-page PDF of eight lessons: God made everything, God made people, The garden, The choice, Outside the garden, Two brothers, Noah listens, and The flood. Unit 2, A Family God Chose, is free too and arrives by email a week after you ask.

The rest of a kindergarten day

The catalog lists four more kindergarten courses. Learning to Read: Systematic Phonics (5 units, kindergarten to grade 2), Numbers, Shapes, and Stories: Kindergarten Mathematics (8 units), Science Explorations: Kindergarten to Grade 2 (4 units), and My World: Social Studies for K-2 (4 units).

Where the teacher and the parent fit

Clara, the AI teacher built into each lesson, can read aloud, and a grown-up can type what a child too young to type says. The week opens with the Bible read together at the table. Parents can read every conversation Clara has with their child.

What this is not

It is not a gentle paraphrase. The text is the King James Version, read aloud by you, and there is no modern-translation edition.
The catalog has no separate kindergarten art, music or PE course. The first of each listed starts at grades 3-5, so those you arrange yourself.
The curriculum's general guide is roughly 30 to 50 minutes per subject per day on screen. How many of the kindergarten subjects to run, and for how long, is your decision for a child this young.

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.
