This will depend on the ECL credits you own. Most lessons require one ECL credit to purchase, so if you purchase an ECL credit pack that contains 10 credits, you can buy up to 10 lessons.

Don’t forget that you get 10 free ECL credits the first time you become an ECL member!

Most of the lessons cost 1 ECL credit. About 1% of our lessons require 2 ECL credits to purchase due to the length and depth of the lesson content. 2-credit lessons offer more ideas for lesson-related activities and prompts to extend learning for 2+ days.
