Homeschool Reading Curriculum for Kindergarten

Looking for homeschool reading curriculum for your kindergartener? Look no further than the Pathways to Reading Homeschool Basic Foundational Curriculum! Research and evidence-based and adapted specifically for the homeschool setting!

When we decided to homeschool last year, I looked at about a zillion homeschool reading programs for my daughter. As a former first grade teacher, I was PICKY with a capital P! I knew I wanted something just like the curriculum I used when I taught. So when I couldn’t find what I was looking for, that is exactly what I decided to do. I asked permission from Pathways to Reading, since I had attended their week-long training back when I first started teaching, to purchase their curriculum and use it one-on-one with my daughter.

I can’t tell you how thankful I am for this decision. My daughter grew so much as a reader this past year!! Pathways to Reading has chosen to adapt their curriculum for homeschoolers! Long story short, I have gotten to be part of the development of this adapted curriculum and it is AMAZING!
