A personalized 1st grade workbook where your child is the hero
First grade turns counting into real arithmetic. Your child adds and subtracts within 20, learns what the tens digit means, tells time to the hour, and starts writing whole sentences with capitals and periods.
Every page is built for one child: their name in the problems and stories, the world they pick, the things they love. One quest a day, about 20 minutes, printed at home.
What 1st grade learns in the book
Each new skill gets its own lesson page — a picture, the steps and a worked example — before the practice starts. Skills from the year before come back as warm-ups and Friday review.
