Whole-grade resources: Unit 1 overview | Online worksheet | Parent overview | Fillable PDF Subject Library | 36-Week Scope and Sequence
The 36-week plan organizes learning objectives, but it does not mean every week has a finished textbook. Completed student files remain private. Additional grade-level chapters and PDF completeness require verification.
Kindergarten Language Arts: Publisher Learning Materials
Open Core Knowledge Language Arts: Kindergarten Skills, Unit 1. Choose the free student workbook or activity book, teacher guide, and student reader when offered on that page. Teach using the guide, then complete the practice and review the answers together.
This is one publisher unit, selected as a supplement to Ahava’s lessons; it is not a complete year or a verified Alabama standards match. The unit number reflects the publisher’s sequence, so check prerequisites and placement. Parents should preview readings and adjust the pace for the learner.
Kindergarten History and Geography: Reader and Teacher Guide
Open Core Knowledge: Let’s Explore Our World. On the publisher page, choose the free student book or reader PDF and the separate free teacher guide. Read together, discuss the maps and questions, and use the guide for activities and assessment where appropriate.
These publisher materials supplement Ahava lessons. They are not the complete Ahava course or a verified Alabama standards match. Parents should review material and select an appropriate pace. Keep student work private.
Kindergarten Mathematics: Student Workbook and Teacher Guide
Open Core Knowledge Mathematics Unit 1: Math in Our World. On the publisher page, select the free PDF for the student workbook and the free PDF for the teacher guide. Use the teacher guide to teach and review answers, then use the workbook for student practice.
This publisher unit supplements Ahava’s existing mathematics lessons. It is not the entire year or a verified Alabama standards match. A parent may adjust pacing and select lessons based on the student’s readiness. Free digital files and paid print options may be offered separately.
All Kindergarten Publisher Mathematics Units
Use the publisher’s sequence below. Each unit page lists a student workbook and a separate teacher guide. Check readiness before starting and adjust the pace. Core Knowledge unit numbers differ from Ahava unit numbers.
- 1. Math in Our World
- 2. Numbers 1–10
- 3. Flat Shapes All Around Us
- 4. Understanding Addition and Subtraction
- 5. Composing and Decomposing Numbers to 10
- 6. Numbers 0–20
- 7. Solid Shapes All Around Us
- 8. Putting It All Together
These are publisher-authored materials, not a completed Ahava textbook or a verified Alabama standards crosswalk. Families may print the free publisher PDFs. Check the terms before redistributing or adapting material.
Kindergarten: Free Publisher Learning Resources
These optional publisher resources supplement Ahava lessons. Open the publisher pages and choose free digital materials; printed products may have a price. Parents should preview selections and choose an appropriate pace. Adult supervision is needed for investigations.
- Science: Science All Around Us, a Core Knowledge Kindergarten resource. Look for the free PDF option. The publisher’s curriculum pages provide related teaching resources.
- More subjects: Core Knowledge free curriculum library. Select Kindergarten and a subject to find available student books and teacher guides in science, history, language arts and mathematics.
- Mathematics: Open Up Resources curriculum access. Select the appropriate grade and student, family or teacher materials; some materials may require an account.
Publisher materials are separate from Ahava-created lessons. These links do not establish complete coverage of this grade, Alabama standards alignment, or a full-year Ahava course. Keep student records private.

Kindergarten | YOUR FIVE SUBJECT BOOKS
Choose one subject at a time, just as you would select a school textbook. Each course has its own student work, fillable PDF and separate teacher notes. The lessons are copyable and printable. These are first-unit materials, not full-year textbooks.
- Mathematics
- English Language Arts
- Science
- History and Social Studies
- Scripture Study
For accelerated learning, choose a subject level based on demonstrated mastery, not age. The older five-subject editions remain archived but are no longer the recommended entry.
Typical age: 5–6. Suitable starting route: Foundations. These are guideposts, not placement decisions. A child may be advanced in one subject and need foundational work in another. Choose subject level from real work samples and the placement check. The Academy’s mixed-level lesson volumes are not exclusively authored for Kindergarten or verified as complete coverage of that grade.
Start here: Choose the subject below, read the skill target, open the linked course, and select the exercise that matches the child’s demonstrated prerequisite mastery. The parent may read directions aloud without doing the work.
Mathematics | Expected Skills
Recognize and compare numbers, count objects, make groups of ten, addition and subtraction with objects, shapes and measurement.
Open the student lessons: Mathematics Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3. For practical review, choose a weekly workbook. Tasks marked Foundations, Builders or Advanced are levels within mixed-age material, not official grade tags.
Reading, Phonics and English Language Arts
Hear and manipulate sounds, connect sounds to letters, blend decodable words, retell read-aloud stories, form letters and write simple sentences with support.
Open the student lessons: Phonics, ELA Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3. Daily phonics remains essential for children still learning to decode, even when their oral comprehension is advanced.
Science
Observe living and nonliving things, plants, weather, light, water and safe scientific questions.
Open the student lessons: Science Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3. Science questions and demonstrations should be safe and accurately distinguish hypothetical examples from observed data.
History and Social Studies
Sequence familiar events, read simple maps, recognize communities and fair treatment.
Open the student lessons: History Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3. Check factual dates and sources rather than inventing answers.
Scripture Study
Shared family Scripture study may be taught together using contextual readings, with different levels of written or oral interpretation. Open the Scripture course.
Try This Placement Sample
Read or listen: ‘The red hen sat.’ Point to red, identify the /h/ sound in hen, count 8 counters and show 3+5.
Next decision: When the child independently reads taught patterns and explains addition within ten, try Grade 1 skill samples without automatically changing all subjects.
Advanced Learner?
Open Advanced Scholars for every ready age and Advanced Mathematics. Do not restrict access based on age, but verify prerequisites before assigning an advanced lesson.
Print, Copy and Parent Guidance
- Copy assignment text directly from the course webpage into a notebook or another document.
- Download PDFs from the Course Download Library. Select the student edition before opening the separate parent answer guide.
- Check the 36-week curriculum map for progression, but remember it is a plan, not 36 complete weeks of student courses.
- Use the Alabama standards coverage record to see known partial alignments. No complete grade-level standards audit or assessment guarantee is claimed.
Kindergarten Chapter 3 | Five Subjects
Original five-day lessons and printable practice with separate teacher answers. Fillable PDFs and objective-level standards alignment are pending verification. Keep student work private.
