Self-Paced Curriculum

A digital Russian curriculum for parent-led homeschooling — one level per school year, with a table of contents, sample lesson, and a weekly plan.

The self-paced curriculum is the product version of what we teach live: a school-year licence to a level’s lessons, printable worksheets, self-check quizzes, answer keys and a recording of every Russian word, organised so a parent who does not speak Russian can still run a weekly routine.

Delivery is digital only. Nothing is shipped; your family receives access for the school year. Charter schools that distinguish product vendors from service vendors can order the curriculum as a product.

What the parent-teacher does each week: a short plan (about 15 minutes of preparation) tells you which lesson to open, what to print, and what “done” looks like. Each level is 38 items over a school year — six units of five lessons, a check after every unit, and a test each semester.

Every Russian word, syllable and letter in the lessons has a recording — read by a computer voice, not by a teacher. It is there so a child can copy a sound without a Russian-speaking adult in the room, and we say what it is rather than letting “audio included” suggest something it isn’t. The sample lesson includes its recordings, so you can hear the voice before you order.

A free sample lesson is published for every level — the first lesson of the level, exactly as your family would see it, with its printable worksheet. Open one before you order.
