Horizons curriculum is
published by Alpha Omega Publications, a Christian
publisher. We highly recommend Horizons to families
who are looking for materials that move at a more
advanced pace. When you compare the Scope &
Sequence, you will find that Horizons is clearly
ahead of many homeschooling materials on the market.
Before you purchase, please take a look at the
Scope & Sequence to see which grade level
will be the best for your student. Horizons
curriculum is workbook based and is meant to be used
with parent instruction. The teacher’s guide gives
helpful tips and answers for every question and as
mere time savers alone; they are worth the extra
investment.
Horizons Math uses spiral learning, meaning the
concepts are repeated throughout the course in a
spiral method. This works well for students who can
focus on more than one concept at once, as it does
not bore these students with needless repetition.
Horizons Math (Kindergarten through 6th Grade) moves
at an advanced pace and students are typically ready
to move into Pre-algebra by the time they are done
with 6th grade.
Horizons Phonics is a great
program for teaching your children how to read. It
goes through all the letters and sounds, giving your
student a solid base for reading. Horizons Phonics
is colorful and very engaging, and this program
moves at a more rapid pace finishing in the 2nd
grade.
Horizons also offers Spelling (1st grade –
2nd grade), Penmanship (1st grade-5th grade),
Health, and PE. The Preschool material covers a
variety of topics, and incorporates Scripture
throughout the material. If you would like more
