You don’t have to guess how to teach your child to read. Beginnings gives you a simple, step-by-step plan that builds real reading skills without the overwhelm.
This complete kindergarten curriculum combines systematic phonics, hands-on activities, and Bible-based stories so your child grows in both confidence and understanding as they learn to read.
Each week focuses on a letter and its sound, offering engaging activities, Scripture memory, and Bible truths that help your child understand and apply what they’re learning. A read-aloud Bible story is included, along with alphabet cards that include a Scripture word of the week and a corresponding Bible verse.
Beginnings is a complete 150-lesson kindergarten program designed to take your child from early letter recognition to reading simple words with confidence.
Short, focused lessons (10–30 minutes) introduce new skills in a gentle, developmentally appropriate way, while built-in review helps strengthen memory and track progress.
Are the lessons open-and-go? Yes. Each lesson includes clear instructions so you can start right away with minimal preparation.
How many lessons are included? 150 daily lessons are included. They can typically be completed over a 30-week school year.
How long does each lesson take? Each lesson takes 10–30 minutes, depending on the child.
Is there a placement test? No. If your child already knows letter sounds, start with Connections.
How many copies should I purchase? Each child will need their own copy.
What Bible translation is used? You can use any translation.
What does this cover? Beginnings covers phonics, letter formation, sight words, and early reading skills.

We had a difficult time finding a phonics program for our 6 year old struggling learner. This was a perfect fit! The pages were engaging but not distracting and he was able to focus on the task at hand. He finally learned all the letters and sounds and will be starting Connections next week! We hope more levels come out soon! Thank you Not Consumed!
I bought this for my newly 5 year old son & he is loving it! I wanted something to get us started with learning to read without being too overwhelming— and this fits that description entirely. He looks forward to his “school time” everyday and is breezing through the content! This makes the basic phonics principles easy to grasp and retain. We can’t wait to order the next step in this program. I also really appreciate the interweaving of scripture in the lessons. Beautifully created as well!
This program is just what we needed and is something we look forward to doing together! Gentle approach with plenty of review to practice the letters, beautiful design, something I would definitely recommend!
My son is turning 5 soon and I have struggled to find curriculum resources he enjoys and can stay attentive to. This is BY FAR the best resource I have found! It is engaging, straightforward, eye-catching, etc. He thoroughly enjoys doing school work and it made me so happy. He loves the letter matching game. I was also shocked at how much was included especially for the cost! SO much value. I'm so thankful to have found your company. God bless!
I was looking for a curriculum for my 4 yr old daughter that was a little more engaging. This fits the bill!
The hands-on activities and worksheets are perfect. She loves having her own school books, just like her big sisters.
My one dislike is the teaching manual and worksheet pages are all in one book. If it were separated into a teacher's manual and consumable workbook, that would be much better. Having the consumables, stickers and manual separated would be helpful if more workbooks or stickers need to be purchased without purchasing full kits for multiple siblings learning together.
