The 2011-2012 school year was my first experience with homeschooling I didn't know where to turn or what to choose For Reading and Phonics I picked Horizons because of their high ratings My daughter and I did their 1st grade curriculum and could not have been happier! Their worksheets are bright interesting and engaging The variety from section to section always kept things exciting even when reviewing I did not use the Teachers guide as much as I thought I would but that was simply because the work is so straight forward and easy to understand There was very little prep involved in using this program I would highly recommend this wonderful and easy to use curriculum!

Why did you choose this?
Do you feel like this has plenty of grammar ?
For us, it does. It is not overloaded with grammar in that you’re just learning how to write a sentence, so the focus is “Does the sentence begin with a capital letter and does it end in an end mark?" The only part of speech that introduced is a noun, and that is mostly revolving around capitalizing proper nouns. For us at this level, it’s right in line with what I want for my first grader. We don’t start intensive grammar and diagramming until fourth grade and our homeschool.
How does this compare to Abeka first grade phonics and reading?
I'm sorry I have never used the Abeka but we love Horizons. My daughter does really well with it.
Is there only one TM in the grade 1 set?
Yes, that is correct. Only one TM.
How is lifepac Language arts different from Horizons phonics and reading?
The Horizons scope and sequence is typically faster-paced than the Lifepac scope and sequence. In addition, there is a difference in how the courses are presented. Lifepacs are magazine-size worktexts that provide both instructional material and response space while Horizons is a more traditional workbook/reader type of program.
Easy to use, not overwhelming amount of materials, yet accomplished the goal.
We love Horizons math and are trying this as well. We've used spectrum for language arts and want to try Horizons instead.
Because my twins were very successful with the Kindergarten Curriculum and are both good readers. Wanted to continue the program.
The fun way that have the books to go through the new phonics sounds to help our son stay engaged. Phonics and Writing are not our sons favorite subject so we wanted one that kept to the concepts and…
