Will this help with my child's 1st grade science homework?

Yes. StudyPug lessons follow the Alabama Course of Study: Science, so the topics your child sees in class are the same ones covered here. They can review a concept, then work through practice problems to build confidence before the next school day.

How long are the video lessons?

Most video lessons are short and focused, typically just a few minutes each. That keeps 1st graders engaged without overwhelming them, and parents can easily fit a lesson into an after-school routine or homework session.

Is there a state science test for 1st grade in Alabama?

Alabama's primary science assessment, the ACAP Science, is given at select grade levels and does not include 1st grade. Students in 1st grade are not assessed on a statewide science test, but building strong foundations now prepares them for later assessed grades.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and desktop computers. Your child can switch between devices without losing progress, making it easy to study at home, on the go, or wherever works best for your family.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?

Yes. StudyPug offers free sample lessons so you can see the content before committing. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can sign up with confidence and get a refund if it is not the right fit.
