Dragon Kingdom
Your child becomes the hero. Every lesson they finish earns experience for their character, and every six weeks they play a choose-your-own-adventure quest to win a shard of a legendary sword. Reading, writing, history, science and art all happen inside the story.
Homeschool parents, this is for the kid who groans at "school time"
They're the hero
Story chapters are written to "you," so your child steps into the adventure. Their journal entries across the year become their very own adventure book.Schoolwork powers the game
Each finished day earns XP. Level up, pick loot, and use what they learned to win battles in the end-of-unit gamebook. No screens, just a die and a pencil.Open and go for you
Every day is planned: what to read, what to ask, what to write and which page to do. No prep, no guessing, with a full answer key in the back.How a week works
About 1–2 hours a day. It covers reading, writing, history, science and art. Keep your own math program: themed math practice comes in two levels, Squire (grades 3–4) and Knight (grades 5–6).

Questions parents ask
What ages is it for?
Grades 3–6 (roughly ages 8–12). Younger kids can dictate their writing; older kids read on their own and do the Knight-level math.
Is it a complete curriculum?
It covers reading, writing, history, science and art for the full year. It does not replace your math program or phonics: keep your usual math. The themed math pages are practice inside the adventure.
Is it religious?
No. Dragon Kingdom is secular. History lessons cover the Middle Ages as historians describe them.
Do I need any special supplies?
A printer, a six-sided die, pencils and crayons. Science labs use household items like rulers, string, craft sticks and paper. Each week lists what to gather.
How do I get my files?
Right after checkout you'll get an email with your login to the Far Realms library, where you can download your printable PDFs any time.
Does it work for more than one child, or a co-op?
Yes. Your purchase covers your family. Read together, and print a workbook and character sheet for each child. Classroom and co-op tips are in every parent guide.
What is the game part like?
Simple and optional. Kids pick one of four hero classes (Fighter, Wizard, Ranger or Rogue), color one XP star per school day and level up every 20 days. The gamebook quests use a die and the battle board. Heroes never lose for good. They just retreat, heal and try again.
