First Grade Letter Logic students learn through engaging self-paced responsive lessons, delightful game-like quizzes, and a variety of reading material. Reading material is designed with built-in features that help students learn new words and read independently.
First Grade Letter Logic Quarter 1 consists of lessons 1 to 55. Quarters 2, 3, and 4 cover lessons 56 to 175. Course enrollment is for 6 months and is typically completed within 3 months, with 11 weeks of materials.
First Grade Letter Logic is designed to be a completely online course, but additional material from the McRuffy Press 1st Grade SE Phonics and Reading or McRuffy Handwriting books can be added for a blended learning experience (combining electronic and paper lessons). Lessons follow the same scope and sequence.
