Bible: In the Beginning, a Kindergarten Year in Genesis
A 36-week kindergarten walk through Genesis, from the making of the world to Joseph telling his brothers that God meant it for good. Each week gives the family a passage to read aloud from the King James Bible, the same story retold in words a five-year-old can follow, one short verse to learn by heart, three questions for a parent to ask, and something to make or do. There is nothing to mark and no quiz: a child who can retell the story has done the week.

Math: Numbers, Shapes, and Stories: Kindergarten Mathematics
A full-year kindergarten math course delivered by a parent, built entirely on objects a child can point at and count: counting to 100, one-to-one correspondence to 20, comparing groups and measurable attributes, addition and subtraction acted out with real things, decomposing teen numbers into ten and some ones, and naming 2D and 3D shapes. Every lesson opens with a short spoken story the parent reads aloud and closes with the child tapping a picture answer. No reading or typing is ever required of the child. The course starts by checking where each child actually is, since some arrive already counting to ten and others do not.

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. The app reads every question aloud, so a non-reader can use it, because reading the ANSWERS is the skill. 36 weeks from four letter sounds to reading a real book.

34.Reading smoothly: punctuation is stage directions
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
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. A year-long adopted-tree study runs through the whole course.
