![]() Saxon Math K is by far my FAVORITE math program out there (after homeschooling 7 kids I have tried a lot) For the parent it is well organized- it even scripted the lesson for you if you are "instructionally challenged" like me It directs you where to go and what to use- taking all of the guesswork out of using the curriculum!! For the child it is hands on (which is one of its biggest selling points to me) thouroughly engaging and so much fun ~ I don't even think the children realize they are "learning" My 2 youngest are using it now and they beg me to do math work with them everyday!! Another point my 2 youngest are special needs learners which makes choosing a curriculum a bit more tricky at times This curriculum is well-suited to a special needs child It provides extra repetition and predictibility for them- something I know my special needs kidlets thrive on Again the hands on and engaging style also make it perfect for them Overall I can't say enough about this curriculum but if you are searching this is a great one!! ![]() I purchased this curriculum and the required manipulatives for my daughters kindergarten year She was 5-6 years old This program was incredibly easy to use If you are new to homeschooling or just prefer a curriculum that holds your hand a little you will enjoy the instructors guide with scripted lessons for you the instructor My daughter loved using the manipulatives especially the teddy bear counters and the Judy clock There was occasionally some prep work required but it was often very simple and of little or no cost Most lessons I was able to "open and go" which came in very handy as we were schooling with a newborn The program was also very flexible Allowing us to skip ahead or do the lessons out of order My only word of caution is that we found the K level to be easier than we expected My five year old had finished the book by January of her K year If I had it to do over again I would definitely buy Saxon but maybe begin Kindergarten using the 1st grade book I would recommend this program to other homeschoolers and we plan to use it again with our younger children
