Reading & Language Arts
for homeschool families.

Reading is the gateway subject. A kid who reads well crushes everything else; a kid who doesn't, struggles everywhere. We treat reading instruction with the seriousness it deserves.

What it covers

From kindergarten through senior year.

  • K-1: phonemic awareness, letter sounds, CVC words → blending into reading
  • 2-3: fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, short paragraphs
  • 4-6: literary elements, multi-paragraph analysis, novels
  • 7-12: literary analysis, rhetoric, essay writing, world + American literature
The Cullinan approach

Every lesson includes a read-aloud option, so pre-readers (age ≤7) and dyslexic kids get full access without parent reading required. Comprehension is verified by the tutor asking questions — not by clicking buttons.

Why it matters

Most reading apps stop at decoding. Cullinan goes through the whole arc — from blending CVC words at age 5 to analyzing Beowulf at 17 — so you don't have to assemble a curriculum from pieces.
