Which curriculum(s) do you prefer? | Education Reference

Question by Tribal Elder Shay: Which curriculum(s) do you prefer?
I will be homeschooling three of my children next year. They will be in 3rd, 1st, and Kindergarten. We just pulled our 2nd grader out of public schools, and are currently using A BEKA. I?m noticing minor problems, nothing serious, with Math and Language. Math is fast paced, with not much review or supplemental/practice work. My son understands and completes assignments, but soon forgets skills he seemed to have mastered. Language is very slow and not as advanced, and I?m doubling his load in this book just to give him 15 minutes of work on the subject. I need something with the lesson plan mapped out for me, and which doesn?t cost a small fortune, as I will be buying for three next year. I?d also like something engaging, and not just based on memorizing, as my children are easily bored. The more I research various publishers, the more difficult the decision becomes. I can?t afford to make the wrong choice here. Any recommendations and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Why not take advantage of the fact that they are young enough to reprogram them out of the typical ?one size fits all cookie cutter? approach to learning? Have you looked into other methods along the home-schooling spectrum? I would pick up a few good books about home schooling elementary aged children and start getting creative instead of relying solely (if at all) on a packaged curriculum.
