💻 How to Use This Website for Consistent Growth
Follow these five steps to guide your child confidently through Levels 1–6.
1️⃣ Choose your Level
Go to the Levels page and pick your child’s Level by age or skill readiness (1–6). Each Level has 7 subjects × 5 sections (A–E) × 8 lessons = 280 lessons.
2️⃣ Open the Level index
Inside each Level, click any lesson card to start. Lessons are numbered, mobile-friendly, and printable. Links exist even if you’re still adding content (no dead ends).
3️⃣ Do the lesson (10–40 min)
Flow: mini-lesson → guided practice → independent task → assessment. Some lessons include quizzes, writing pads, or interactive tasks.
4️⃣ Switch to Kids Mode
Turn on Kids Mode for bright, readable cards and easier navigation on tablets. Same structure, larger touch targets.
5️⃣ Track progress
Bookmark finished lessons or print/export to build a simple portfolio. Celebrate milestones!
