Common Core State Standards for Mathematics ↗
Kindergarten counting and cardinality, K.CC.3-5; framework for the proposed mathematics sequence. The starter covers quantities 0-5 only, not the entire standard.
Evidence and transparency
What is checked. What remains to be built.
The first release has source-informed introductory lessons and a proposed K–12 structure. Topic research and coverage verification continue as each new section is developed.
Release 0.1
September 29, 2026: seven subject sequences; 364 proposed unit slots; 21 introductory lessons; 63 workbook activity items; seven section assessments; 21 instructional PDFs and seven scope-plan PDFs.
The initial sections are not complete kindergarten instruction. The remaining 357 proposed units have not been released. Framework references do not establish that every topic has been deeply researched or every standard covered. No claim of accreditation, complete state compliance, independent validation, or KDP approval is made.
Reference register
Checked September 29, 2026. These sources informed the initial sections and production plan. Each PDF describes the sources relevant to its own content. The prose, examples, and exercises are original.
Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts ↗
Selected kindergarten print concepts, speaking/listening, drawing, dictation, and writing. Framework reference, not a certification of complete coverage.
Next Generation Science Standards ↗
Grade-level performance expectations and science practices inform planning. Observing and comparing are introductory practices; the starter does not complete an NGSS performance expectation.
NCSS College, Career, and Civic Life Framework ↗
K-2 civics, geography, and history inquiry indicators inform the initial activities. The C3 Framework is not a complete content curriculum or a required year-by-year course sequence.
IES: Foundational Skills to Support Reading for Understanding in Kindergarten Through 3rd Grade ↗
Evidence-informed reading instruction guidance. Print concepts in this release are only an entry point; systematic sound-letter instruction, decoding, and connected-text practice still require development.
USGS: What Do Maps Show? ↗
Elementary map representation and map-reading background. The tabletop mapping activity and its symbols are original examples.
NASA STEMonstrations: Five Senses ↗
Background on observing and recording sensory information. No spaceflight claims or tasting activities are used in the Academy starter; its exercises are original.
Library of Congress: Teacher Guides and Analysis Tool ↗
Observation, reflection, questioning, and further investigation inform the historical-evidence approach. The starter uses records created during the activity, not archival reproductions.
National Archives: History in the Raw ↗
Historical records require context and interpretation. A record can support some conclusions without answering every question.
FDIC: Money Smart for Young People ↗
Future economics/financial-literacy planning reference only; not a source for the released groups-and-roles section.
KDP: Set Trim Size, Bleed, and Margins ↗
Production constraints, including page-count-dependent gutters and trim options. Final full-book interiors must be checked again before upload.
KDP Content Guidelines ↗
Publisher must accurately disclose AI-generated text or images when required by KDP. Final rights, metadata, and proof checks remain outstanding.
Correction and review process
A correction should identify the subject, version, lesson or workbook ID, and the claim in question. Revised teaching text and answer guidance will be released together when a change affects both. Independent subject and educational review remains a required development step for complete editions.
