Your kindergartener is beginning to build skills in logical reasoning and letter recognition. Our kindergarten curriculum helps kids begin building early reading skills through phonics. Fun safari adventures help kids learn about numbers. Science units help young learners practice critical thinking skills by introducing the scientific method, investigating living and non-living things, and exploring fun facts about planet Earth.
Kindergarten students discover that letters and words are the keys to unlocking the world of reading, offering opportunities for deeper learning and enjoyment.
At Time4Learning, we focus on building phonemic awareness, letter recognition, and high-frequency word recognition. Our text interactions are supported by pictures and emphasize comprehension through discussion and engagement.
At Time4Learning, kindergarteners discover that:
- The letters of the alphabet can be written, have unique sounds, and build words
- Reading helps us explore our curiosities and learn about new things
- Every story is unique, with different characters, settings, and events
- Readers form opinions about the books they read, helping them discover the stories they love most
Kindergarten students naturally possess a sense of curiosity and eagerness to understand the world around them. We harness this curiosity to engage learners in math, presenting concepts through a hands-on, concrete approach that builds a strong foundation for future learning.
At Time4Learning, Kindergarteners discover that:
- Numbers are everywhere, and can be used to describe quantities
- Patterns are found in nature and throughout the world
- Every object can be described by its location, appearance, and attributes
Kindergarten students are always asking questions like “why” or “how.” At this stage, their thinking is concrete, meaning they understand the world through what they can see, touch, and interact with.
The Time4Learning curriculum encourages them to explore these questions through our research-based 5E Model: Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, Evaluate.
At Time4Learning, kindergarteners discover that:
- We can observe matter using our 5 senses.
- Our world is made up of living and nonliving things
- There is energy all around us, like the sun, light, and electricity
- People need energy to live, work, grow and play
This outline shows an example of both what your child will learn (the scope) and the order in which the lessons build on each other (the sequence). More detailed lesson plans are available in the parent account. All lessons are entirely customizable.
