Question: What, have you found, is the most effective Homeschool Curriculum for kindergarten/first grade?
Answer: I like Hewitt really well. They have K-2 full curriculum programs that are nice. Here's a link to the 1st grade. You may want to try that if your child is already reading.

Homeschoolers are very individual. Some want a textbook for every subject. Some like unit studies. Some want a full service program like CLASS that takes all the record keeping responcibility away from them.
If you like textbooks, I would look at ABEKA.

Abeka is an accelerated curriculum. I like some of the books, but don't like others. You will just have to look for yourself.
Another good suggestion is to simply go to your local barnes and nobel bookstore and look at the McGraw Hill spectrum workbooks or other workbook programs. That has the advantage of picking and choosing what book you want for each subject, and you get to look it over before you purchase. I like Barnes/Nobel because they give a teacher's discount to homeschoolers, and they are good about ordering what you want.
Another favorite company of mine is Timberdoodle. It is a different kind of products than schools use. But I love them. The Body Book is great. And my son loved the Pathway readers. I wasn't fond of Miquon Math, but some people love it. I like Addison Wesley better.
