A simple homeschool routine

Teach. Try. Come back to it.

Teach a skill, practice it together, then check it independently in a later session.

01

Choose one small focus.

Pick a few sight words from a lesson or one group of math facts. Explain the sounds, spelling, or number strategy first. Use a book, letter tiles, or counters to make the idea concrete.

02

Practice, then talk.

Try a printable activity together. Give your child time to answer and explain their thinking. If they get stuck, model it, talk it through, and return to it later.

03

Apply the skill in another context.

Find a practiced word in a story. Work out a number fact with everyday objects. Revisit the idea in plain print another day and notice what your child can do independently.

Separate logins and progress for each learner.

An annual subscription includes up to 40 learners under your adult account, each with a separate login and saved progress. Download a report for each learner. The iPhone and iPad apps keep their own local profiles; those records do not sync with the website.

Which homeschool resources are free?

Every lesson preview is free to browse without an account. A free adult account includes three complete sample lessons: one in Sight Words, one in Math Facts, and one in Math & Logic. Each sample includes printable PDFs and a teaching guide. An annual subscription unlocks the full classroom, learning plans, check-ins, and up to 40 learners. Browser app access depends on the plan you choose. Newsletter signup is optional.

What is included in a free sample lesson?

Try “Our first book” for sight-word reading, “Count on from a number” for addition, or “Two pieces become a train” for hands-on math and logic. Each is a complete lesson with teaching steps, student materials, and printable PDFs. Sign in with a free adult account to open the materials; no purchase is required.

Which ages and grades are the reading lessons for?

The sight-word library has Glow pathways for Pre-K, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, and third grade, with both Dolch and Fry collections. Grade labels are starting points: choose words using your child’s current skills and the phonics patterns you have already taught.

How does Glow fit into a homeschool curriculum?

Glow provides supplemental reading and math practice to use alongside your homeschool curriculum. Choose a sight-word lesson or a focused set of math facts, teach the skill, and use the printable activities to revisit it. The reading lessons support adult-led instruction, books, conversation, and practice in plain print.

Do we need an iPad or an app to use the printables?

No. You can use the printable lessons entirely on paper. A free adult account opens the three sample lessons; a paid account opens the full classroom. Download the PDFs and print the student pages or teaching guide you need. All three Glow apps also offer browser practice on laptops, desktops, and Chromebooks through an annual plan.

Can we use Glow for after-school or summer practice?

Yes. The same resources work for homeschooling, after-school learning, tutoring, and summer review. Pick one activity at a time, adjust it to your child’s needs, and include reading together, hands-on learning, and play.
