Reading: Learning to Read: Systematic Phonics

36 lessons · try a lesson online free

A complete first course in reading, built on systematic synthetic phonics: every sound explicitly taught, every practice word decodable from sounds already learned, and checked mechanically, not just promised. Clara teaches the oral half out loud (blending, segmenting, sound games); the child taps printed words to show they can read them.

Social Studies: My World: Social Studies for K-2

36 lessons · try a lesson online free

The child's world, widening one ring at a time: my story and my family, then rules, jobs and money, then maps and places, then the past itself. Every week is a short scripted activity a parent runs, an elder interview, a family market, a treasure map, a time capsule, followed by a five-minute spoken check-in where Clara asks what happened and your child answers by tapping. Traditions, symbols and holidays are taught as things people do and remember, evidence over myth, at exactly the depth a five-to-seven-year-old can own. Follows the C3 framework's civics, economics, geography and history at K-2 level.

Science: Science Explorations: Kindergarten to Grade 2

36 lessons · try a lesson online free

Real science for the youngest scientists, done with ice cubes, ramps, seeds and the actual sky, not a screen. Each week hands the parent a short scripted exploration (kitchen-table materials, exact words to say, what to listen for), and the app's only job is the five-minute check-in afterward, where Clara asks what happened out loud and your child answers by tapping. Weather and seasons, pushes and pulls, living things and their places, materials, sound, and two build-test-fix engineering weeks, the full NGSS K-2 span, at the pace of a five-to-seven-year-old's attention.
