Frequently asked questions

What do children learn in 1st grade?

First grade turns early skills into real reading and math: blends and long vowels, sentences, facts within 20, place value, time, light and sound, and maps. Grade levels and order vary by country and school, so use the units as a guide.

How do I use these playlists at home or in class?

Open a unit, press Play all on repeat, and loop the part that teaches the step your child is working on. Slow it to 0.75× for a tricky idea, and set Stop after a few loops to keep sessions short.
