Follow Foundations week by week

See which Foundations week communities are on, open a week's videos strand by strand, and choose how much review to include.

Every Foundations week has its own page, with a short memory-work video for each strand and more to explore. Start at the Foundations page.

Which week are communities on?

During the school year, the top of the Foundations page shows Memory work for right now. It highlights a range of three weeks, with the furthest-along week marked most likely.

The same spot changes through the year:

  • During a term: the three-week range.

  • Between fall and spring: Winter review, with the weeks just finished.

  • Over the summer: no week is highlighted.

Why three? Communities start on different dates and take different breaks, so at any moment they are spread across a few weeks. One guessed week would be wrong for many families.

To see every week at once, scroll down to All 24 weeks.

Move around a week's page

A week page has one section per strand, from history to Latin:

  • Week to week: use Previous week and Next week, or click a number in the row of weeks.

  • Strand to strand: use Jump to a strand, then Back to top.

  • Beyond the basics: Go deeper has extra videos and books for a child who wants more.

The pages name each week's topics but never the guide's exact wording. Your own Foundations guide holds that, so keep it close.

Watch a strand's videos

Click a thumbnail to start playing. The strand's videos then play one after another.

After the last one you can choose Start again, Replay this video or Close.

Choose a study mode

The Study mode buttons decide how many earlier weeks come into review:

  • This Week: this week's memory work only.

  • Rolling 6: this week plus the five before it.

  • Memory Master: every week back to Week 1, for a child working toward Memory Master.

Each button also shows the weeks it covers. Early in the year two of them may cover the same weeks, which is expected.

Review earlier weeks

Your study mode shapes everything under Review. Each strand shows a card for every earlier week in range, plus a shuffled review playlist.

For a mix of every strand at once, play the All-strand review. In the two review modes, about half of it comes from this week and the rest from earlier weeks.
