Alpha Omega Horizons for Kindergarten

Question:
My wife and I have been looking at several curriculums for our kindergarten-aged son. She has taken a liking to Alpha Omega's Horizons. What are your opinions on this curriculum compared to some of the others that are available? I know A Beka is popular, but I have found it to be geared more for classroom use and tedious to use for homeschooling purposes.

Answer:
-I don't have time for a longer response right now. If you search the Google archives of this website for the word "kindergarten," you will see that the subject of kindergarten curriculum has been discussed here several times. In short -- you don't need a packaged curriculum for that age. Here's a link to get you started:

-My two younger children used Horizons. They wanted to be doing book work and math was the easiest subject for me to give them workbooks in. It is a good curriculum and I used it through 3rd grade, then we used Saxon 54. The layouts in the books are bright and colorful and I didn't need the answer key in the teacher's manual. (I did buy a teacher's manual, but didn't use it except when I was having the older kids correct the younger's work. It worked out well for us and I'd continue using it if we had any more to homeschool.
