There is so much available for homeschoolers that it can tend to be overwhelming. I hope seeing these will help you to narrow down your choices for your family (instead of overwhelm!)

Another great resource! Thanks for putting this together!
I just love the graphic at the top, nicely done.
I completely forgot to mention EIW! We reviewed that and really enjoyed it; we are continuing to use it and will most likely use it next year.
Here’s my review if you are interested in including it.

I will have to look into all your links above! I’m surprised not to see Beautiful Feet as a literature curriculum and Memoria Press as a complete curriculum! I think I will be using MP or MFW when my son is older than 2 🙂 lol I try to study all of them 🙂

Thanks for sharing! Just started homeschooling my 2-year-old, so I’m loving the homsechooling blogs! Stopping by from UBP (finally, I know–was on vacation!). Have a great day!

Where are your social media buttons? Just tried to follow you and can’t find them!

I’m loving all your curriculum lists! I’m getting great ideas for next year!!! We love All About Spelling also. The price is great and its a very easy program to use. My daughter loves all the manipulatives and add ins in the program. I ordered Winning with Writing and Growing with Grammar for this year and am excited to get started with them. For reading we used Rocket Phonics that isn’t listed here. It is a bit pricey but I got mine used for way less and have been pleased. I’d considered All About Reading also but Rocket Phonics has been good for us. I love how it broke down small lessons and showed kids how they could “read” after just that first lesson. The “secret codes” really helped to get my son interested.

Hello! I have a question about your grammar, spelling, reading, and writing choices. I really liked both of your All About Spelling/Reading suggestions along with your Winning with Writing and Growing with Grammar. I see that they also offer a Soaring with Spelling and Vocabulary book and were wondering why you decided to split them? I like them both and am having a hard time choosing between the two but thought I would ask your first hand experience. Thanks so much! I have really found these useful!!
Karyn Tripp says
I am using All About Spelling/Reading for my younger daughter & the Grammar/Writing for my older son. I have not yet tried the spelling & vocab. books from the Growing With Grammar site yet. I don’t really have a reason… just haven’t felt the need for an organized spelling curriculum for him as he got older. 🙂 I guess it depends on your child as far as their levels of learning. I started the All About Spelling with my younger daughter after my son was past that point of learning. I have been so happy with it that I am planning on continuing on with it. Does that make sense?
Jaime Johnson says
THANK YOU so much for this – I am a sonlight mom, but we are advanced in reading and need to catch up on the rest of “language arts”. I’m so happy to have found the Winning With Writing (and their spelling) for this coming year. The price is great – I hope it’s a good fit for our family because sonlight’s language arts can be so confusing, especially when we’re at different levels in the various disciplines!
Momofthree says
Love your list! We use Jump in by apologia and LOVE it!
Brandy Luth says
We love Beautiful Feet History!! It is easy to use for multi-age kids, affordable and excellent selection of books!
Tamara Watson says
You have to check out English Lessons Through Literature – I absolutely love it! I added a link to my review if you want to check it out. 🙂
Verlynn Adamson says
You really should check out the program from Yes Phonics, Phonics for English Reading, Spelling and Writing. This is a course that will take your children all the way from learning how to write to writing complete sentences and familiarize them with thousands of words through recognition of the sounds of words (phonograms) which enables them to spell easily. I have seen great results with my own child.
Lorena Contreraz says
I am looking into http://www.jennyphillips.com. Found it through a suggestion on a facebook group of homeschool moms. It looks too good to be true! It seems so easy and so well done. I am going to be purchasing for my daughter. I have not seen anyone post this anywhere. It looks like it’s fairly new. Check it out.
Karyn Tripp says
Lorena- I have been looking into that this year, too!! It does look wonderful. I actually know Jenny and she is an amazing lady, so I am certain what she makes would be, too! 🙂
