K5 Learning Review



When your child starts with K5, you can have them start at their current grade level, or take a free assessment to place them according to their skills.  Your child is given a score based on their results, and that score determines where they fall in the grade level spectrum. Mastered subjects are removed from instruction, and remedial support is given for areas that are not necessarily up to grade level.
The lessons are fun and engaging, but not mindless games. They focus on real skills, and seem to provide some "meaty" instruction. The lessons are also broken up into very short segments. Which is very helpful for children who have a short attention span.

The math facts component allows for short drills of math facts in a fun environment, and there is also a similar spelling component. I found it reassuring that my children could not work below their level, or repeat things they have already mastered.

I had both Bubba and Pumpkin using the K5 Learning program during our trial period. I saw Bubba's school grades improving while he was using the program. They both really enjoyed the games and activities that they did with the program.
