## 💻 How to Use This Website for Consistent Growth

Follow these five steps to guide your child confidently through Levels 1–6.

### 1️⃣ Choose your Level

Go to the Levels page and pick your child’s Level by age or skill readiness (1–6). Each Level has 7 subjects × 5 sections (A–E) × 8 lessons = 280 lessons.

### 2️⃣ Open the Level index

Inside each Level, click any lesson card to start. Lessons are numbered, mobile-friendly, and printable. Links exist even if you’re still adding content (no dead ends).

### 3️⃣ Do the lesson (10–40 min)

Flow: mini-lesson → guided practice → independent task → assessment. Some lessons include quizzes, writing pads, or interactive tasks.

### 4️⃣ Switch to Kids Mode

Turn on Kids Mode for bright, readable cards and easier navigation on tablets. Same structure, larger touch targets.

### 5️⃣ Track progress

Bookmark finished lessons or print/export to build a simple portfolio. Celebrate milestones!
