Reading Curriculums

Parents can choose from a wide variety of homeschooling reading curriculums. Choosing the right reading curriculum is important to ensure kids have a great time learning to read. Reading curriculums differ from each other in terms of their approach to teaching kids how to read.

Some have colorful textbooks with many pictures, while others are simple and come only in black and white. Some curriculums follow the standard text design, while others are multi-sensory and include movable letters, or songs and rhymes. Some include different scripts to help students master the initially confusing concept of multiple letter sounds for a single alphabet. Parents should choose the curriculum for reading based on the kind of instruction they want to give their child.
