Creakycorner is in the process of winding down.

Dear Customers,

After approximately 18 years of serving the homeschooling community with our curriculum, Creakycorner will be shutting our doors.

On a positive note, another homeschooling family has bought all our stock and will continue to supply our curriculum in New Zealand! This includes all the Rod and Staff curriculum, the pathway books and Targeting Handwriting.

The company is called Purebooks (See Link at the top right of the page) and they are based in Timaru. They will have a physical shop where you will be able to view and purchase the curriculum, in addition to taking online orders. They will also be offering second-hand material.

There is some talk that I may still be able to make an appearance at North Island conferences and take orders on their behalf.

For now, you can still reach me here through Facebook or email me at kathycreak@gmail.com All the books have been picked into boxes and sent to the South Island, and in the future, the items will be posted from there.

I am sorry for the sudden announcement, but it has been rather sudden for all involved!

Thanks for your patronage all these years.

All the best in your homeschooling journey,

Kathy Creak

Grade 1

The first grade curriculum is designed for an average 6-year-old, and introduces them to beginning reading and math, which is the primary focus in this grade. Previous instruction in these concepts is not required, but a basic understanding of book instruction and counting, such as is taught in the Preschool A-B-C series, gives your child a head start.
