Subjects
Phonological awareness
Hearing the sounds inside words — this is what decides reading next year.
Handwriting
Joined-up letters, the child's name, then short words.
Mathematics
Numbers to thirty, the number line, first problems.
Exploring the world
Finding one's bearings in time and space, reading a calendar, following a simple plan.
A second language, by ear
Songs, words, simple instructions. Nothing written.
A year you can count
Thirty-six weeks split into eight modules of four weeks, plus a ninth self-corrected revision module. Four assessments per module are read and annotated — by the system first, by a teacher afterwards.
- 8 modules of 4 weeks
- 1 revision module, self-corrected
- 4 corrected assessments per module
- Falling behind is caught up without starting over
A flexible classroom, at your home
A four-year-old does not work sitting still for an hour, and a ten-year-old does not learn standing up. The kit sets up a real workstation — height, seat, light, storage — and leaves room for the moments when learning happens on the floor, on a mat, or with the hands. The space is part of the programme.
