Our Academics
We use Bookshark's all-subject curriculum for Levels K-5.
To find out which Level your child is best suited for, check them out below:
Our Level K packages are designed for students from ages 5-7. If your child is in that age range, they may be ready for BookShark's Level K program!
Young children are natural learners (it is one of the reasons they ask so many questions), but academic work requires a different set of skills than the ones your child has been building. We expect the Level K work to take about 1.5-2 hours for you and your child.
Please consider whether or not they are ready to:
-
Listen and pay attention when you read chapter books out loud
-
Answer questions about what they hear and see
-
Sit still for short periods of time
-
Follow simple instructions
-
Work with you to complete worksheets and activities
Our Level 1 packages were designed for students from ages 6-8 and we’ve been told that our material can be quite challenging for children on the younger end of the age spectrum. This is not surprising; there is a big difference in development between a 6 year old and an 8 year old!
We expect the Level 1 work to take your child about 2-3 hours. Please make sure that your child is able to:
-
Read at a 1st Grade level or higher (see our Quick Reading Assessment)
-
Write letters and simple words
-
Copy a sentence out on paper
-
Recall and follow simple instructions
-
Sit still and focus for 10-15 minutes at a time
