Students will cover the basics in a fun and non-threatening approach. They’ll learn to read, write, spell, tell stories, learn their numbers, and more.

Suggested Lesson Plan
1A
Below is a suggested schedule for your classroom or homeschool. The page amounts listed under each title are the suggested number of pages to complete in a day. We know each day will vary and some days you might get through more and others less. It’s meant to give flexibility while still completing the journal in an entire semester or school year. This is based on a typical 180-day/ 36-week long school year. Adjust as needed if your school, or family, follows a different schedule. We’ve also included a few tips and notes when needed.
Core journals- Students can complete their core journals daily either in the morning to open the day or have a “core journal” time in the afternoon. These can be completed in small groups or students who can read and work well independently can work alone. Complete one per semester.
(We recommend that you expect the child to do the lower number of pages each day, but some eager learners will enjoy doing more. So when we recommend 2-6 pages per day, 2 is usually enough for most children depending on their attention span)
