Kindergarten curriculum for home, 36 weeks of phonics and math

This kindergarten curriculum for home learning gives you a clear route from the very first letter sounds to reading simple sentences, and from counting objects to adding and taking away up to 10. There are 125 undated pages: 36 week by week plans with phonics and math mapped out for every weekday, a literacy page and a math page for each week, four quarterly checklists and a certificate. It is a PDF in US Letter and A4, ready as an instant download.

Calm, short lessons, a confident child and a parent who always knows what comes next.

How this kindergarten curriculum guides your year

You will never wonder what to teach next. Each week's plan spells out the day's phonics lesson, a pair of sight words and the math activity, plus the page numbers of the practice sheets that go with them. Phonics follows a careful sequence, starting with s, a, t, p, i and n so your child can blend real words early, then moving on to short vowel words, letter pairs like ch and sh, consonant blends and words with a silent e.

Math starts hands on, with everyday objects and ten frames, and grows into number bonds, word problems, measuring, reading the clock to the hour and counting all the way to 100. Quarterly checklists plus quick checks for letters, sounds and sight words show what your child has mastered and what deserves another week. Nothing is dated, so you can begin in any month and revisit a week as often as needed.

Who this homeschool kindergarten year is for

• Homeschooling parents who want one complete, ready to teach kindergarten year instead of a stack of separate workbooks
• Families who want extra learning at home next to a public or private school kindergarten class
• Parents of children roughly 5 or 6 years old who recognize a few letters and feel ready to read and add
• Grandparents and caregivers who help with a little learning each day and like having a clear plan for the week

Design and printing

• Gentle blush pink accents on clean white pages, light on ink
• Wide margins, so a home printer will not cut anything off
• Portrait pages in US Letter (8.5 by 11 inches) and A4 (210 by 297 millimeters)
• Undated, so any week of the year can be week one
• Clear, child friendly pages with dotted letters and digits to trace on writing lines, plus ten frames, clocks and number lines
• Clip it to a board, file it in a ring binder or have a copy shop spiral bind it
