Check out these homeschool curriculum recommendations from these Friends of The Homeschool Compass.

Megawords – It's easy to implement, because it's a mostly independent spelling program with lots of practice that reinforces reading and contextual use of multisyllabic words.

Learning Language Arts Through Literature -- If I had to do it all over again, I would try LLATL. I love that it’s a comprehensive Language Arts program utilizing great pieces of Literature.

Explode the Code – We loved using Explode the Code to help with reading. Systematically laid it, it was easy to use, with short, multisensory lessons that the kids enjoyed. If a child needed extra practice on a section, there was extra help in the 1/2 books.

The Fallacy Detective -- This is a fun, engaging book to do together as a family. It was a great introduction to logic and helped all of us become more aware of fallacies we encounter every day.
