Grade 1
homeschool curriculum.

First grade is when the click happens: letters become words, words become sentences, and numbers stop being symbols and start being quantities. Cullinan moves at your kid's pace — fast through what they get, slow through what they don't.

What Grade 1 works on

The core skills your kid will build this year.

  • Decoding multi-syllable words; reading short paragraphs aloud
  • Addition + subtraction within 20, intro to two-digit numbers
  • Writing a full sentence with capitals + punctuation
  • Telling time to the half-hour, measuring with non-standard units
  • Plants, animals, seasons — observable science
The Cullinan approach

By 1st grade, kids can work for ~25-min stretches if the material is genuinely matched to where they are. Our adaptive placement picks the right rung; you don't have to guess. Read-aloud is still on by default through age 7.
