Find a suitable starting point
PK, K1, K2 and K3 describe learning levels. Choose by English experience and the support a child needs, rather than age alone. The free sample is K3; it does not replace a complete beginner programme.
Notice letters and sounds
Connect familiar words with letters. Explore letter shapes and short sound activities with an adult.
Build words and sentences
Practise taught spelling patterns, word building and short sentences. Use pictures and spoken models when needed.
Read, compare and explain
Work with spelling patterns and short connected messages. Talk about meaning and explain a choice.
One week, connected practice
Each level has forty planned weeks across two semesters. The full library is still being completed and reviewed. Lessons, games and printables follow the selected curriculum and weekly words; MKS classroom resources use their own sequence.
Original interactive reading books are being prepared. They are not included in the free sample.
