school days to get through it. So how many lessons a week?
Lesson Garden does the math and spreads every lesson out so the book finishes on the last day of school.
No grade books or transcripts: just the plan, and a quick way to check it off.
Enter how many lessons or pages are in a book, and Lesson Garden spreads them evenly across your school year, so the book finishes right on the last day of school instead of weeks early.

History, science, read-alouds: some subjects the whole family does at the same table. Make it a together book and it shows up once, with every child who's doing it.
Real school days don't go exactly as planned. Lesson Garden adjusts the schedule when your kids race ahead or fall behind, so you never have to redo it by hand.
On iPad, your week lays out like a paper planner, one column per day, so you can look ahead on Sunday night.
Glance at what's next without opening the app. Tap a lesson or a progress ring to jump straight to that child.
Add all your kids, each with a color and a picture, so their lessons are easy to spot.
Everyone you invite sees the same plan. Check off a lesson on one phone and it shows up on the others.
Set your first day, school days, and breaks. 180 days by default; change it to match your state.
Turn on a daily reminder and get a note at the time you choose, like "7 lessons to do today," on school days only.
See how far each child is through every book, and what's left before the end of the year.
Everything lives on your device, so it works in the car, at the park, or at Grandma's.
Give each child a name, a color, and a picture if they like.
Enter the lessons or pages, pick a routine, and see when you'll finish.
Each morning, today's lessons are ready. Tap as you go.
