Phonics, sight words, counting to 100, shapes, weather, and community helpers — a complete kindergarten homeschool curriculum that Lumi teaches your 5–6 year old, so you don't have to plan a thing.
Try Free for 48 Hours →Kindergarten is the most popular grade for families to begin homeschooling. It's the year when children are formally introduced to reading and math, and many parents want to be present for those first breakthroughs — the first time their child reads a word, counts to 100, or writes their name.
The challenge is that most parents don't know how to teach phonics. They know how to read — but knowing how to read and knowing how to teach reading are completely different skills. Lumi solves this. Every kindergarten phonics lesson is voice-guided, systematic, and cumulative. Lumi introduces letter sounds one at a time, blends them into words, and builds toward simple sentence reading — all without requiring the parent to plan or script anything.
Math in kindergarten is equally important to get right. Counting to 100, recognizing numbers, and understanding addition and subtraction as operations (not just memorization) build the mental math foundation that supports every grade level after. Lumi teaches each math concept with visual and verbal instruction, then gives the child immediate practice in a format they enjoy.
Most homeschool kindergartners do well with 1–2 hours of structured learning per day. Lumi sessions are designed to be used in 15–30 minute segments — one or two subjects in the morning, one in the afternoon if needed. Young children learn best in short, focused sessions with breaks between subjects.
Letter sounds, CVC phonics, sight words, counting to 100, addition and subtraction within 10, shapes and patterns, weather and animal habitats, and family and community concepts.
1–2 hours of structured learning per day, broken into short 10–20 minute sessions. Young children learn best in short bursts with movement and play in between.
