I'm brand new to homeschooling, and we just started with Horizons Math today. DD is 5 and loves it so far. Thanks so much for posting this list! We're still figuring out what will work for us. :)

This is my first time visiting your blog (came over from Top Ten Tuesday, where I also posted about homeschooling! LOL). Thanks for the curriculum tips. I am looking into something new for grammar for my 7th grader, so I'll look into Easy Grammar. As for math, we've been using Teaching Textbooks for two years and my oldest son loves it! My second gets to start TT3 this year and he is so excited to get to do "computer math" too!

If you are looking for great high school math curriculum, I highly recommend my company, Thinkwell. While I am biased as an employee, as someone who has watched the video portions of the classes to talk about them, they are really good. Our math professor, Edward Burger is incredible and has a great, fun style of teaching that kids seem to really like.
Check out our site (www.thinkwell.com), I know there are demos in the homeschool section so you can see what the classes are like. We also post free videos on our blog and YouTube.
I can say, however, that I have heard good things about all the other curriculum you have listed. This has got to be really helpful for other homeschoolers trying to make the right decisions for their kids!!

Thanks, Ryan. If Horizons went through high schoo...

Thanks, Ryan. If Horizons went through high school level math, you'd have a customer for life (well, through high school, anyway). We absolutely love Horizons. We start school tomorrow and last night I was still asking my husband if he thought we were doing the right thing switching Josh and Megan -- the whole, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" thing. And, I was still praying about it this morning. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks for your words on Horizons and for the feed...

We too love Horizons Math and used it for two years. This year I put together my own math curriculum through free worksheets from the internet. I will add the next Life of Fred book toward the end of the year. We also use the Nature Study Blog and Easy Grammar. Easy Grammar is incredible and I would recommend to anyone, my daughter has learned so much from it.
