Reading and Language Arts

Designed for children who are ready to learn the alphabet and begin to read, your children will read real stories in the Sonlight-exclusive Fun Tales series. Includes Grade K Readers and Language Arts. Ignite your student's imagination with fun creative expression activities.

Science

From the heat of the sun to the eyes of an insect, Sonlight Science K teaches your children to think like a scientist.

Every week, your students will engage in an experiment directly tied to the rest of the content they study that week.

Your child will learn not only how to write numerals but also addition and subtraction, basic counting, skip counting, geometric shapes, telling time, and they will be introduced to the manipulative block system in the kindergarten math curriculum.
