About Faith Schooling
Faith Schooling is a Christian K–5 curriculum publisher. We write and publish the Faith Readers family — Phonics, Decoding, and Early Fluency, the complete K–5 reading and language arts curriculum, in textbook and weekly-lesson formats; Foundations to Fluency, phonics practice one pattern at a time; Decodable Readers and the Phonics Lab as companions; and Learning Cursive for handwriting — and the Faith Thinkers family, led by Building Number Sense, a sequenced K–5 arithmetic series — and, through the Apostolic Academy, The Hidden Word, a free King James Scripture memory and Bible quizzing curriculum. Scripture, memory verses, and Christian character are carried through the lessons rather than added beside them. Parents teach from scripted guides; children move by mastery, not by the calendar. We are a publisher, not a school: there is no enrollment, accreditation, or grading service, and we do not currently publish science or history programs.
Our Mission
Many Christian curricula include Scripture alongside academic instruction. Faith Schooling takes that integration further by thoughtfully weaving biblical truth, Scripture memory, prayer, and Christian character throughout the learning experience.
In our teaching approach, faith is the vine from which every academic branch grows. Biblical narrative provides the content. Scripture memory provides the rhythm. Virtue formation provides the motivation. Prayer provides the bookend of every learning cycle.
Faith Schooling draws from established approaches including structured literacy, explicit instruction, mastery learning, classical education, concrete-to-abstract mathematics, spaced review, and cognitive science. These methods are brought together through a consistent lesson structure that helps children predict, practice, correct, connect, and retain what they learn.
Six Foundational Principles
“Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.”
— Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV)What We Build
Faith Readers
Growing Readers into Leaders — A complete K–5 reading and language arts program that develops phonics, decoding, fluency, vocabulary, morphology, comprehension, grammar, handwriting, and written response through a structured sequence grounded in Scripture.
Grammar Garden
Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives & Adverbs — An interactive grammar program in the Faith Readers family that teaches nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs through meaningful, faith-rooted sentences while children cultivate a garden that grows with their progress.
Faith Thinkers
Traditional Arithmetic and Logic — A K–5 mathematics family that includes structured curriculum, extensive skill practice, and interactive learning games. It develops number sense, computational fluency, mathematical reasoning, and confident problem solving through traditional arithmetic and clear visual models.
Faith Schooling
Faith-Based K–5 Reading, Math, and Logic — The complete platform connecting Faith Readers, Faith Thinkers, curriculum, teaching guides, worksheets, learning games, placement tools, printable resources, and family discipleship materials.
Our Approach: Predictive Rhythm Learning
These established methods are unified by Predictive Rhythm Learning (PRL) — our instructional approach that determines when each method is used, in what sequence, and toward what purpose.
PRL is built on a simple, well-tested idea: children learn best when they predict first and then check the result. Committing to an answer before being taught — then seeing whether it was right — is what makes a lesson stick. Every lesson is structured around that loop.
The PACE Cycle
Every instructional block follows the same four-phase cycle. This consistency allows the child’s brain to allocate cognitive resources to the content rather than figuring out what is happening next.
Student makes an explicit prediction, making their thinking visible.
Student performs the task — reads the word, solves the problem, engages the material.
Student compares prediction to outcome — the moment the learning sticks.
Five channels: Body, Predict, Build, Map, Name — from hands-on to abstract.
Five Encoding Channels
Every concept passes through five channels in a deliberate order — hands-on and sensory first, symbolic and abstract last:
- Body — Trace in the air, clap, march, feel the phoneme in the mouth
- Predict — Commit to an answer before being shown
- Build — Construct with manipulatives, tiles, or physical objects
- Map — Locate on charts, word walls, number lines
- Name — Write, label, and verbally identify
Who This Is For
Homeschool Families
Complete scripted lessons any dedicated parent can deliver without an education degree. The Teacher/Parent Planner walks you through every minute of a 45–55 minute lesson — with a reference guide for those who want the theory behind it.
Co-ops & Learning Pods
PRL adapts to small groups of 4–6 children with a station rotation system. Prediction cards allow simultaneous reveal so no child’s answer influences another. Differentiated content at each station means mixed-level groups work seamlessly.
Christian Schools & Microschools
The same structured approach scales to classroom settings. Systematic mastery tracking, parallel assessment forms (A/B/C) for retest integrity, and structured remediation pathways activate automatically when mastery is not achieved.
“Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding.”
