Learning Progression
Mastery
A mastery progression stays with one concept — day after day if needed — until the child is fluent. Then, and only then, it moves on.
Starting out
How this learner tends to begin
Focus is on going deep before going wide.
New topics arrive relatively rarely.
Assessment is about fluency, not speed of coverage.
Momentum
What keeps this learner engaged
Builds durable, transferable understanding.
Reduces the 'I've forgotten it again' cycle.
Creates real confidence through visible fluency.
Friction
What may create friction
Can feel slow to a child who loves variety.
Extended time on one topic can feel monotonous.
Missing a foundational chunk is more disruptive downstream.
Support
Helpful supports
Trust the pace — 'still on this' is not falling behind.
Vary format inside the concept rather than jumping topics.
Celebrate fluency milestones, not chapter numbers.
