Beginning To Homeschool: Any advice?

September 24, 2008

Although I’ve been teaching Jada really since she was an infant, now that she is technically “school age” I really want to make sure that I’m giving her a well-rounded education. I’ve been searching for a good First Grade Curriculum, as Jada is already pretty much through Kindergarten level academics. I’m just not even sure where to begin! There are so many different curriculums and publishers, I just can’t tell which one would be good for her. I’ve searched Homeschool forums for advice, but I haven’t found any help.

So, I thought I’d throw the question out there for you, my faithful friends. If any of you have homeschooled, or are homeschooling K-1st grade, do you have any advice for me? I’ve been just printing stuff off the internet, using worksheets from activity books, and pretty much just making up her lesson time as I go. I’d like to have a consistent curriculum for her, one that I know will be thorough.

She is already reading, writing her letters and short words, counting to 100 and doing simple addition. I’m just not sure where to go from here.

Can anyone tell me what I need to be teaching her for K-1st grade?

Do any of you have any suggestions on which books are the best for each subject? I’ve heard that some publishers are better in one subject than another.

Any good websites for printable worksheets??

Hopefully some of you might be able to help guide me along!! Thanks so much for any advice you can offer!
