what is the best homeschooling kit for 1st graders?
I need advice on homeschooling. The possibility that I may have to homeschool my 1st grader is looming. I have some big decisions to make and want to prepare myself as much as possible. Does anyone know the best homeschooling kit? One that gives the most comprehensive curriculum to prepare a child for second grade. Specifically, I live in Georgia and I need to make sure my child will be a top performer when he gets to second grade.
May I ask why you're only HS'ing for first grade?
If you plan to re-enroll in B&M school next year, why not try the Georgia Virtual Academy? It's a virtual public school, so re-enrolling in B&M school would be much easier.

GVA uses the curriculum I've used for 5.5 yrs, since my son was barely 5. It is *incredible*.

Why not attend some GVA online or in-person open house sessions to find out more about it?
I agree with others - don't put so much pressure on your child, *especially* not at this age. K12's scope & sequence is at least a year ahead of most public/private schools, so if you use K12, your child will have the advantage of a deep, and broad, curriculum. I've always used K12 as an independent HS'er (not connect w/ a public school) and my son's test scores are incredible. For instance, in 3rd grade, he scored better than 99% of 8th graders in science on the EXPLORE test. In 4th grade, he scored better than 99% of them in grammar (K12 starts grammar in 1st grade).
