Tracking Homeschool Progress Subject by Subject

At the end of a homeschool week, most parents ask a version of the same question: did we cover everything, or did one subject quietly get left out?

Homeschool-HQ answers it with one screen: progress per subject, for the week.

Your week, subject by subject

Each subject you've logged this week gets its own card. Each card shows two numbers:

• Activities: how many lessons or activities you logged for that subject.
• Codes: how many curriculum outcome codes those lessons were matched to.

That's Sarah's week from the example account. It was a light one: a single activity in each of five subjects, each matched to one outcome code. Even a gentle week produces a clear record. You didn't tally anything. You logged what you did in ordinary words, and the matching to your state's curriculum happened for you.

Tap into a subject

Tap a card and it opens to show the outcomes achieved. Each curriculum code your lessons covered gets its own small card with:

• The code and what it means, in the curriculum's own words.
• How many times it came up this week, and the dates it was evidenced.
• The activity details behind it, one tap away, plus any photos you attached.

This is where the numbers become something you can read and, if you ever need to, show someone.

Spotting what's missing

A subject only appears once something has been logged for it. So a missing card is a useful signal: we haven't touched science this week.

That's not a failure. Plenty of weeks are lopsided on purpose, and some subjects suit a block of focus rather than a daily visit. But it's much better to notice on a Friday than to discover in November that a subject has been missing for a month.

Saving the week

When you've finished logging for the week, you can generate a weekly report. It writes up the week's lessons and codes, saves them, and starts the next week fresh. Nothing is deleted: the lessons stay saved and searchable.

Each weekly report adds to your running record, outcome by outcome. These weekly reports are for your own records and can serve as back-up evidence if you need it. They aren't your Learning Summary, which is a separate report.

If you haven't read it yet, the previous post covers seeing your whole week at a glance.
