Each is taught over three short days, built around the competency the book names for that unit — present tense, naming words, numbers, past tense, pronouns, genders, prepositions, noun and adjective — with worked examples, lines to read aloud and a marked sheet. 27 daily sessions of 10–15 minutes.

Start Day 1

27 days, in the book’s own order

Every lesson in the textbook is taught over three short days rather than one long sitting — because ten minutes is a thing a child does on a bus, and forty is a thing somebody has to make them do.

Learn

What the lesson is about and the grammar it carries. About 15 minutes.

Practise

Worked examples, then a sheet marked the moment you submit it. About 15 minutes.

Recall

Read aloud, three things to remember, and questions from earlier units. About 10 minutes.

Every third day is a recall day, and it deliberately asks about lessons from one, three and seven units ago rather than the one just finished. Getting those wrong is the point — a thing you have to reach for is a thing you still have in March.
