Kindergarten homeschool curriculum can be tricky to choose. It’s hard to believe we have just picked ours for our youngest! Time flies! Homeschooling a preschooler was so much fun.

Ariella is eager to learn and practically taught herself to read this year to our surprise. I’ve been trying to delay a formal education for her as much as I can as I am a firm believer that later is better.

Choosing the perfect kindergarten homeschool curriculum is not an easy task, but it is not an impossible one either! You can learn how to choose the right homeschool curriculum for your family here.

Kindergarten Homeschool Curriculum for Phonics & Spelling

All About Spelling

I am a huge fan of All About Spelling and we just started Level 1 and Level 2 with our children along Hooked on Phonics. Our youngest loves both and this is how she began to read on her own! We will continue to use All About Spelling Level 1 with her and Hooked On Phonics Learn To Read Digital Program.

I have recently reviewed Hooked on Phonics Learn To Read Digital Program for Educents blog and I am writing a review for All About Spelling soon. I am very impressed with the results obtained by both programs!

Kindergarten Homeschool Curriculum for Math

CTC Math
CTC Math

Although Sonlight offers great Math curriculum like Math-U-See, Horizons Math, Singapore Math, and many others, we have chosen CTC Math K for all of our children including our youngest.

CTC Math is a complete online Math curriculum starting with Kindergarten and it is by far our favorite Math curriculum ever!

I highly recommend CTC Math and can’t shout out from the rooftops enough about how it has turned our little Math haters into great Math lovers and it has brought so much joy and peace to our homeschool days! What a difference!

You can check out these two reviews I wrote about it to find out the impact it had on our homeschool and why we love it so much.

Homeschool Kindergarten Math Curriculum

Here are the reasons my kids love CTC Math:

  • CTC Math has short and engaging video lessons.
  • Kids go through the lessons at their own pace.
  • They are receiving instant feedback after each lesson.
  • They are learning mostly independently (Hallelujah! Moms, that gives us a break.)
  • They get more time on the iPad or the computer which here is a reward for them.
  • Their website is very easy to navigate (all in one place).

Here are the reasons I love and have chosen CTC Math for our children:

  • Parents have a separate login and I can monitor everything my kids are learning.
  • We receive weekly reports delivered to our email.
  • I can create my task list (lesson plan) for each child if I want to.
  • I can print out every report even reward certificates for my children when they finish each module.
  • All grades are recorded for me so I don’t have to worry about that.
  • Parents and students have access to all grades so if there is anything my kids need to revise from last year’s math, we can.
  • It’s very affordable!! It costs a 1/3 of our last curriculum for all 3 children.
  • I have access to their progress and can analyze it anytime from any device, even from my smartphone.
  • I know how much time they spend on each lesson, their grades, what time they started and what time they finished their math.
  • It is a complete curriculum for grades K to 8, with no need for supplementation and they do have high school math too.
  • CTC Math lays down every option at your fingertip in their dashboard for you to know that your kids are really learning and not just wasting time.
