Grade 1 Teaching Dashboard
The Grade 1 Digital Teaching Dashboard gives you everything you need to teach first-grade science from the atomic level up: lesson plans, student printables, and curated digital readers, organized by unit and ready the moment you subscribe. Start all digital, add the 24 leveled readers in print, or include the Activity Kit and order the whole year at once.
Choose your format
Every format includes the full Digital Teaching Dashboard with 18-month access: all 28 lesson plans, student printables, the pre and post test assessment, and the 24 digital readers. From there, add print readers, the kit, or both.
The complete digital system. Your student starts the moment you subscribe, and everything prints from the dashboard.
Everything digital, plus all 162 hands-on pieces hand-packed in one box, shipped with the current batch.
The digital system plus all 24 leveled readers as physical books your child can hold, at a bundled price below buying them individually.
The whole first-grade year in one order: dashboard, digital and print readers, and every activity supply, delivered to your door.
All formats include 18-month digital access. Formats with the Activity Kit ship with the current open batch; see the batch window below.
What your child studies this year
What's inside the dashboard
- Lesson plans for all 28 lessons. Each plan includes teacher notes that flag where atomic language matters most, so you use the correct framing without needing a science background.
- Student printables for every lesson. Print-ready and formatted. No prep, no layout work.
- 24 curated digital readers. Organized by unit and subject area. Readers are selected to reinforce the atomic foundation introduced in each lesson.
- Atoms First language notes in every unit. A short note at the top of each unit flags common misconceptions and provides the accurate atomic framing to use instead.
- Pre and post test assessment. Quick check to see where your student started and where they landed.
- 18-month access with every format. Enough time to teach at your pace, revisit units, and carry the dashboard into a second year if needed.
Grade 1 is the year your child meets the atom. Most Grade 1 science programs describe sound as something that "travels through air." Real Science-4-Kids explains what's actually happening: sound is atoms vibrating and transferring energy through atom collisions. The mechanism is correct from the very first lesson. No retrofitting required later.
24 leveled readers, digital or in print
Readers are organized by unit and tagged by subject. They are selected to build background knowledge alongside the lesson content, not as separate reading practice. Every format includes all 24 as digital readers inside the dashboard.
The Digital & Print formats add all 24 leveled readers as physical books. Bundled with the dashboard, the print readers cost less than buying them individually, and your digital access stays included. Choose a Digital & Print format above to add them to your order. A few foundational readers appear in more than one grade, so each year stands alone. Returning family? If you already own print readers from an earlier grade, reach out before you order: once we verify your original order, we'll send a unique code that reduces your price, and we'll ship only the readers you don't already own.
Add the Grade 1 Activity Kit
The dashboard tells you what to teach. The Grade 1 Activity Kit gives your child everything needed to do it: every supply for all 14 hands-on activities, hand-packed in one box. 162 hands-on pieces across 35 items, covering all 14 hands-on activities in the Grade 1 year, plus full-color vocabulary cards, the student lesson pages printed in color, and the Real Science-4-Kids Activity Tracker Sticker Set. No supply hunting. No guessing quantities.
- Included in the Activity Kit formats above, and ships with your dashboard order
- Hand-packed in small batches, sourced and assembled with care
- Personalized with your child's first name, just add it in the order comments at checkout

Start at your child's grade
Each Dashboard is a complete, self-contained year of science. If your child is in Grade 1, start right here: everything your student needs is introduced this year, and there is nothing from Grade K to make up.
Wherever your child starts, the K-2 years lead directly into Real Science-4-Kids Books 1 through 7, designed for grades 2 and up.
Who this is for
- Homeschool families teaching first-grade science
- Parents who want science built correctly from the start, not corrected later
- Co-op teachers looking for a structured, open-and-go system
- Parents without a science background: the lesson plans do the work
