No email, no account. Print it, share it, pass it on, as long as it stays whole.

The same course online: try a lesson with Clara

Online, Clara, the teacher built into every course, works through each lesson with your child and explains a wrong answer instead of marking it. Here is a real one. No account needed.

The whole year

This unit comes from Clareza Kindergarten: The Full Year, a whole year of systematic phonics alongside math, science and social studies, written so that a parent who has never taught reading can start on day one. Every one of those lessons is already live online, taught by Clara.

Online, this becomes the full phonics course, same lessons, taught instead of printed, alongside the rest of the year. See the whole thing on the Kindergarten curriculum page.
