4th Grade Standards-Aligned De-Colonized All Subjects Included

4th Grade Curriculum

What The Good and the Beautiful would look like if it were secular, inclusive, and came with math and science built in.

You've Been Piecing It Together. It Shouldn't Be This Hard.

One program for math. Another for reading. A Pinterest board for science. A Facebook group for social studies ideas. Nothing matches, nothing flows, and by Tuesday you're already behind.

6 Different Programs

Buying separate curricula for every subject. Different formats, different schedules, different philosophies. Chaos.

"Columbus Discovered America"

The best-looking curricula are religious. The secular ones are bare bones. And none of them tell the whole story.

Hours of Prep Every Night

You're up at midnight printing worksheets, watching YouTube tutorials, and wondering if you're doing enough.

No Math. No Science.

The pretty all-in-one programs skip math and science entirely. So you're back to buying more programs anyway.

One Book. All Seven Subjects. Zero Guesswork.

We built what we couldn't find anywhere else: a complete, inclusive, beautiful curriculum that doesn't ask you to piece five programs together.

All Seven Subjects in One Book

Reading, Math, Grammar, Science, Social Studies, Writing, and Spelling. No buying six different programs and trying to Frankenstein a schedule. Open the book. Teach the day.

De-Colonized From Page One

Indigenous peoples presented as civilizations with governance, trade, and agency. The Great Migration, labor movements, and civil rights taught through the eyes of those who lived them. No more "Columbus discovered America."

Hands-On Science, Real Materials

Not worksheets about science. Actual experiments with household materials. Aligned to Next Generation Science Standards. Your child will build, test, observe, and record like a real scientist.

Built for Real Parents

Every lesson is fully scripted with word-for-word dialogue. No prep beyond reading the page. Answer keys included. Differentiation built in for kids who are ahead or behind. If you can read, you can teach.

A Full Day of Learning, Planned for You

Every daily lesson follows this structure. Just open the book and go. Each block is scripted with parent dialogue, student activities, and answer keys included.

Concrete to pictorial to abstract. Scripted lessons, original problems, answer keys, and challenge extensions.

Everything You Need to Know

Do I need a teaching background?

+

Not at all. Every lesson includes word-for-word scripted dialogue. We tell you exactly what to say, what to ask, and what to do if your child is confused. You read the page at breakfast and you're ready to teach by 9 AM.

What does "de-colonized" actually mean here?

+

It means Indigenous peoples are presented as civilizations with governance, trade networks, and agency — not as footnotes before "real" history starts. The Great Migration, labor movements, and civil rights are taught through the eyes of the people who lived them. We don't do "Columbus discovered America." We tell the whole story, with care and accuracy.

What subjects are included?

+

All seven core subjects: Reading, Math (Singapore Math methodology), Grammar, Science (Next Generation Science Standards with hands-on experiments), Social Studies (de-colonized, Michigan-focused but applicable anywhere), Writing, and Spelling. Everything in one book — no supplementing needed.

Is this aligned to standards?

+

Yes. Aligned to Common Core Math, Next Generation Science Standards, Michigan Social Studies GLCEs, and Common Core ELA. Every lesson tags exactly which standards it addresses. A full coverage map is included with the Starter Pack. While Michigan-specific in social studies, the math, science, and ELA standards are applicable nationwide.

How long does each day take?

+

About 3.5 hours of structured learning, including a built-in break. That leaves your entire afternoon free for co-ops, field trips, music lessons, sports, or just being a kid. The schedule is flexible — you can shift blocks around to fit your family's rhythm.

What if my child is ahead or behind grade level?

+

Every lesson includes built-in differentiation: extension activities and harder problems for kids who are ahead, and scaffolding with concrete re-entry points for those who need more support. We help you diagnose exactly where the gap is so you can address it without starting over.

Is this a religious curriculum?

+

No. Root Access is a secular curriculum. We respect all belief systems and don't promote any religious perspective. Our focus is on accurate, inclusive, standards-aligned academic content that welcomes every family.

Will more weeks be available?

+

Yes. New weeks release regularly, building toward a full 36-week school year. When you download the free week, you'll be first to know when new content launches.
