My family homeschools, and the Reading/Phonics books that we have used and that have worked extremely well are the "Explode the Code" books. They have Primer books that are called A, B, and C. Here's the link to A: Get Ready for the Code - Book a: Nancy Hall: 9780838817803: Amazon.com: Books. Then there are 8 books in the actual "Explode the Code" series. Amazon.com: Explode the Code. These books go step-by-step in teaching phonics, spelling, etc.
For literature in the younger years, we have loved "Five in a Row" (Amazon.com: Five in a Row). It just gets you really reading to your children, who learn so much by listening
.
One other grammar book that we have used for little bit older grades (e.g. 5th, 6th, 7th) is a curriculum called Shirley English (Amazon.com: Shirley English). There is a lot of repetition and jingles (literally songs) to go along with each part of speech.
Homeschooling is such a wonderful option to choose! I praise the Lord, and thank my parents for homeschooling me, and I wouldn't trade it for anything!
