But as you may know, there\u2019s no shortage of curricula out there to choose from. So, how do you choose the best curriculum for your youngsters? What exactly should such a curriculum focus on?<\/p>\n<h2>3 Things to Look for in a Kindergarten Homeschool Curriculum<\/h2>\n<p>During these early years, students are naturally so curious about the world and able to memorize and retain large amounts of information.<\/p>\n<p>This makes kindergarten an ideal time for laying the\u00a0<strong>foundational knowledge<\/strong>\u00a0in three areas, so they develop skills essential to succeeding later in school, college, careers, and all areas of life.<\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, these areas are\u00a0<strong>reading<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>math<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>handwriting<\/strong>. Your kindergarten homeschool curriculum should focus on developing the basic knowledge and skills related to these fields.<\/p>\n<p>What is shocking, however, is how much debate and controversy these three areas can generate, which makes choosing a kindergarten homeschool curriculum all the more difficult.<\/p>\n<p>Should reading instruction be whole-language or phonics-based?<\/p>\n<p>Should math instruction follow traditional models or embrace the \u201cnew math\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Should students invest time in learning cursive?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll address each of these debates below to help you understand exactly how to choose a kindergarten homeschool curriculum that works for your family.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Reading: Phonics-Based vs. Whole-Language<\/h3>\n<p>The traditional kindergarten homeschool curriculum for reading is\u00a0<strong>phonics-based<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>After decades of watching public school experiments with\u00a0<strong>whole-language<\/strong>\u00a0reading instruction and the following drop in literacy rates, most homeschooling families are turning to traditional phonics for reading instruction.<\/p>\n<p>The phonics-based method starts by teaching young children all of the possible sounds made by consonants and vowels. Then students progress to letter combinations like\u00a0<em>ch<\/em>,\u00a0<em>th<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>sh<\/em>\u00a0and vowel combinations like\u00a0<em>ea<\/em>,\u00a0<em>ei<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>ou<\/em>. After this step, students are introduced to short words and sentences with increasing complexity.<\/p>\n<p>While students are learning to read short words and simple sentences, parents should also expose them to more complex language by\u00a0<strong>reading aloud<\/strong>\u00a0books that are above their students\u2019 actual reading levels.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide on a phonics-based approach to reading, you may find it helpful to look for a kindergarten homeschool curriculum that includes pre-packaged read-aloud books. Or, you can find your favorites at the local library or bookstore.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"border: 1px dashed #59637e; height: 1px; width: 75%; text-align: left; margin: auto; color: #59637e;\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Resources for Learning Phonics: <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalconversationsbooks.com\/pages\/search-results-page?q=american%20language\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Language Series<\/a><\/p>\n<hr style=\"border: 1px dashed #59637e; height: 1px; width: 75%; text-align: left; margin: auto; color: #59637e;\" \/>\n<p>Listening to audiobooks is another great way for your children to process more complex language. Still, it\u2019s important to spend focused time each day\u2014<strong>one hour at a minimum<\/strong>\u2014reading aloud to your children. It will do wonders for developing your children\u2019s learning skills.<\/p>\n<p>As reading aloud becomes a common practice in your household, your children will gain a richer vocabulary and understanding of language that will enable them to communicate better both in speech and writing.<\/p>\n<p>And, as an added bonus, your children will have plenty of time to practice sitting still and focus on listening if you spend an hour a day reading aloud, which are undeniably necessary skills in all areas of life.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"border: 1px dashed #59637e; height: 1px; width: 75%; text-align: left; margin: auto; color: #59637e;\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Resources for Reading Aloud: <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalconversationsbooks.com\/pages\/search-results-page?q=copper%20lodge%20library\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Copper Lodge Library<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>2. Math: Traditional Model vs. &#8220;New Math&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>In the 19th century, mathematics instruction in the United States focused on memorizing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts.<\/p>\n<p>Now, most elementary math texts introduce word problems and even algebraic equations at ever-younger ages. Fortunately, you don\u2019t have to worry too much about the debate between the\u00a0<strong>traditional model<\/strong>\u00a0and what\u2019s known as\u00a0<strong>\u201cnew math\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0when choosing a homeschool curriculum for kindergarten. Rather, there are basic skills every kindergartener needs to master that your curriculum should focus on developing.<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, a kindergarten homeschool curriculum should teach your littles to practice the basics of arithmetic. That is,\u00a0<strong>counting<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>adding<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>subtracting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"border: 1px dashed #59637e; height: 1px; width: 75%; text-align: left; margin: auto; color: #59637e;\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Resource: Saxon Math Kindergarten<\/p>\n<hr style=\"border: 1px dashed #59637e; height: 1px; width: 75%; text-align: left; margin: auto; color: #59637e;\" \/>\n<p>For more specific goals, your students should be able to count to 100 by the end of the year as well as be able to add and subtract single-digit numbers using math manipulatives. Math manipulatives are any objects that can be counted, including household items like dried beans, raisins, apples, and money. You should work with your children to add some beans (addition) and take some away (subtraction).<\/p>\n<hr style=\"border: 1px dashed #59637e; height: 1px; width: 75%; text-align: left; margin: auto; color: #59637e;\" \/>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8983 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/manipulatives.png\" alt=\"math manipulatives\" width=\"498\" height=\"326\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/manipulatives.png 498w, https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/manipulatives-140x92.png 140w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 498px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 498\/326;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Counting, addition, and subtraction are the foundational knowledge of math. So, whatever kindergarten homeschool curriculum you choose should focus on having students practice these skills.<\/p>\n<p>Also, it\u2019s important that students learn to write numbers, most importantly the numbers 1-20. This is both an essential handwriting exercise and a crucial skill to perform well in higher-level math in elementary grade levels and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Other math skills you may want to help your students develop at this early age are working a calculator, recording the weather, and telling the time.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Handwriting: Cursive vs. Print<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, a kindergarten homeschool curriculum should include\u00a0<strong>handwriting practice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Young students should learn to hold the pencil correctly and form their letters carefully. For a time, educators felt that it was no longer important to teach cursive handwriting to students. They argued that cursive was no longer needed because students could move straight from printing letters to typing letters.<\/p>\n<p>However, more recent studies have shown that there are two important reasons to continue to teach cursive. First, cursive writing engages the right side of the brain as well as the left. Second, studies have also shown that college students retain information better when they write rather than type. And masters of cursive can often write much faster than in traditional print.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, nearly every kindergarten homeschool curriculum will include daily practice with manuscript (print) handwriting.<\/p>\n<p>This is to be expected. If a kindergarten curriculum you are considering does not have handwriting practice, find another option.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the kindergarten year, students should be able to copy whole sentences with proper punctuation and capitalization. All this practice will not only make your student\u2019s handwriting readable and attractive, but it will also help to develop their fine motor skills, learn how to spell, and eventually craft sentences of their own.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you may want to search for a kindergarten homeschool curriculum that includes\u00a0<strong>coloring time<\/strong>\u00a0(or add it on your own) so your students can continue to develop their fine motor skills in a more creative exercise.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"border: 1px dashed #59637e; height: 1px; width: 75%; text-align: left; margin: auto; color: #59637e;\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Resources for Learning Cursive: <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalconversationsbooks.com\/pages\/search-results-page?q=prescripts\">PreScripts<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 120px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8984 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cursive.png\" alt=\"a cursive exercise book\" width=\"398\" height=\"500\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cursive.png 398w, https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cursive-140x176.png 140w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 398px) 100vw, 398px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 398px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 398\/500;\" \/><\/p>\n<hr style=\"border: 1px dashed #59637e; height: 1px; width: 75%; text-align: left; margin: auto; color: #59637e;\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Related Blog: \u201c<a href=\"\/blog\/a-little-cursive-story-2\/\">A Little Cursive Story<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>The Best Kindergarten Homeschool Curriculum<\/h2>\n<p>A word of caution for parents: young children learn best with hands-on activities demonstrated by loving adults, not screens.<\/p>\n<p>Our littlest learners need in-person interaction and attention in order to develop into capable, lifelong learners. Although online options can be useful in specific contexts,\u00a0<strong>online-only<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>programs<\/strong>\u00a0may be hindering your kindergarten-aged students from learning naturally. Sure, they may offer convenience, but they lack the hands-on practice and in-person connection your children need.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, if the kindergarten homeschool curriculum you choose focuses on anything, it should be on teaching the basics of reading, math, and handwriting through a hands-on, child-directed approach.<\/p>\n<p>Still, homeschooling is all about finding what works for your family and customizing your curriculum to suit your needs. So, if you have additional time within your days to include other subjects, go for it.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t let the curriculum you choose tie you down!<\/p>\n<h2>The Foundations Program and Scribblers at Home<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re searching for a kindergarten homeschool curriculum, then you may be interested in the Classical Conversations\u00a0<a href=\"\/programs\/foundations\/\">Foundations<\/a> program or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/info.classicalconversations.com\/scribblers-resource\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Scribblers at Home: Recipes from Lifelong Learners<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Foundations is our program for students ages four and up that, as its name suggests, focuses on laying the foundational knowledge for students in key subjects.
